Trouble

Valerie's POV

There right in front of me stood my best friend and Bruce's girlfriend, Betty Ross. She looked absolutely furious.

"Look it's not what it looks like!" I started, but she held up her hand silencing me. She walked furiously towards me.

"Betty I swear-," I started again but was stopped again as Betty slapped me with all her might. My head jerked in the other direction at the impact and my cheek stung horribly.

"How could you! You were supposed to be my friend! And you! How could you Bruce! How could you!" She yelled at us. She had fat tears rolling down her face.

"Betty I swear, I didn't do anything! Valerie and I are just friends!" Bruce said.

"Save it! I don't want to hear it! I hope you two enjoy each other!" Betty spat and walked out angrily.

I turned to look at Bruce," I'm so sorry, this is all my fault!"

"Shhhhh it's not your fault," He said hugging me close as I cried. He shushed me and rubbed my back and when I calmed down I pulled away slightly so I could look at him.

"How's your cheek?" He asked smiling softly at me.

"It stings. I never knew she could hit that hard," I admitted, a few tears going down my face. Bruce cupped my face in his hands and with his thumbs, wiped away some tears.

"Look, it's not your fault. I'm sorry she slapped you, come on let's get a cold washrag to put on your cheek," he said leading me towards a sink.

"Thank you, Bruce," I said as he handed me a cold, wet washrag. I pressed it against my face, and felt the soothing affect it had on my burning skin.

"Valerie, can I try something?" Bruce asked. I nodded meekly and so a pair of lips were pressed to mine. I didn't feel fireworks, but I did feel something.

"Bruce, we shouldn't! You just broke up with Betty and what if something happens with us! I don't want us to never be friends again," I managed to get out. He chuckled.

"Well let's give it a try, like an experiment," Bruce said. Soon his warm lips meet mine again and this time I kissed back. We deepened the kiss and soon we in Bruce's bedroom. I'm sure you get the picture what happened next.
