I wake up to find myself alone in the bed. I pull on my boxers and look around for my t-shirt. Maybe it's in the kitchen. I walk out of Kirstie's bedroom and through the lounge. 'Oh you're awake.' Looks like I found my t-shirt. Kirstie notices me looking at it and puts down the pan she's holding. 'Sorry, you were asleep so I figured I would borrow your t-shirt. I can give it back if you want.' She suggests, her eyes glinting mischievously. 'No you keep it.' It doesn't exactly make the realisation that I might have feelings for her any easier to bear seeing her wearing my shirt and making us breakfast with that hickey still visible on her neck. However, the alternative is her in her underwear and I would actually like to eat some breakfast. 'I made bacon and pancakes, I hope that's alright.' 'It's more than alright.' She smiles radiantly and I grin back and take the plate she's holding out for me.
'I was just about to come and wake you up actually. Our studio session is in a couple of hours and you'll probably want to go back to your place to get dressed.' I nod and we continue to chat while we eat. We're talking about the new song and trying to work out possible harmonies. 'Yeah I think that would sound better.' She nods enthusiastically 'I definitely think so.' 'This breakfast is delicious by the way Kirst.' 'Thanks Avi, I figured we could both use it after yesterday.' She's smirking at me sexily and breakfast starts to feel a lot less important.
When we've finished I offer to help her with the washing up. She's reaching up to put a plate in the cupboard and my shirt inches up her thighs. I'm instantly desperate to touch her. I reach out my hands and rest them on her hips and I hear her short intake of breath. She's completely still as I reach up to move her hair out of the way and start kissing down her neck. When I reach the hickey she grinds back against me. I groan in response and move my other hand under the hem of my shirt to gently run my fingers over her skin. She spins around in my arms and smiles at me and I lift her onto the countertop and stand in between her legs.
I lift her up slightly for a moment so she can pull off my shirt and then she grabs my face in her hands and kisses me. I pull her body as close to my own as possible, encouraging her to wrap her legs around me. 'Oh my god.' We both break apart and look around the room for the source of that comment. 'Mitch what are you doing here?' 'Um I have a key remember? You weren't answering any of my calls or texts and it's not that long until the studio session so I thought I'd come and wake you up.' He smirks at us and then adds 'Although I guess that was unnecessary.'
Kirstie has her head in her hands and when she responds her voice is strained. 'Avi, why don't you go and get dressed and then head back to your place?' 'You sure?' She nods and shuffles off the counter. 'Nope.' Mitch interjects 'I want an explanation from both of you. It's not fair to just leave Kirstie to do all the talking.' He's right, annoyingly. 'Ok just let us put on some clothes.' Mitch waves and airily exclaims that it's nothing he hasn't seen before but we go into Kirstie's room to change anyway. I put my clothes from last night back on and Kirstie grabs a t-shirt and some shorts from her wardrobe. 'What are we going to tell him?' 'Definitely not the truth. He'll read too much into it.' 'Well he's seen the hickey so how about we just say that it happened for the first time the day before yesterday.' She nods 'And then that you came over last night to talk about it but one thing led to another. Ok. Ready?'
I shove my hands into the pockets of my jeans as we walk back into the room where Mitch is sat on the sofa. 'Ok so what do you want to know?' 'Everything.' 'You know it's kind of none of your business right?' 'Kirstie, I'm your best friend who just walked in on you making out with one of our other friends who also happens to be in our band. It's kind of my business.' She rolls her eyes and sighs dramatically. 'It's been a while since either of us have had sex so a couple of days ago we decided to sleep together.' Wow. That was pretty clear then. Mitch obviously wasn't expecting her to be quite so direct either.
'Ok so you're dating?' 'Um no.' I feel like it's my turn to do some of the explaining 'We're not dating. We're just two friends having sex.' 'Ok so like friends with benefits?' Kirstie and I glance at each other and then nod. Mitch considers this for a while before standing up off the couch 'Well I assume you don't want the others to know.' 'That's right.' 'Ok then I won't tell anyone.' Kirstie's face lights up with relief and she walks over and grabs his hands in hers. 'Woah there Kirst, I know exactly where those hands have been.'
A/N: Mitch knows! Well sort of. I have about five more chapters already written so I think I'll be able to update more regularly than I thought (this story just writes itself I swear). Lots of flashbacks coming up but plenty of the actual plot too. Thanks for reading!
