Pillow Me

He keeps hugging me as he says in a sexy and soothing voice, "That can be arranged. We don't have anything else to do for the rest of the day. And I'm gonna be in your room all night, so this could work."

He lets go of me, but I have my arms wrapped around him, and don't move, so he picks me up in his arms and brings me back to my room. The whole time my head is nestled into his chest, and before I know it, he sets me on my bed and lies there next to me.

I grab a hold of him and hug him again. He hugs me back. I snuggle my head into his chest, turn into him, and put my arm and leg over his body. He looks down at me and I look up at him smiling.

"What's up with you? You are never like this."

"I just realized how much of a good pillow you are. And that you stand by my side when I need you, and stick to our plans that we make. Usually."

"So you like me as your pillow do you?" A big grin shows up on his face.

"I wish you were always here to be my pillow. Every single night. I would love sleeping like this."

"Well, we can do this more often if you'd want to." He looks up at the ceiling.

"I'd like that." We both look up to the ceiling for a moment, then we look at each other. As we are staring into each other's eyes I realize that he's going to go in for a kiss. He does it all the time. I'm used to it. I sit up and reach for my back pack. "We should start studying." I say trying to change the topic. I pull out the study sheet our teacher gave us when he takes the paper from me and says, "We should make a game out of it."

"Like what?" I ask smiling.

"Every time one of us gets a question wrong we have to kiss." He gives me a naughty grin.

"But what if I don't want to kiss you?" I say teasingly .

"Then you won't get it wrong, or..." He gets a huge smile. I see where this is going. "You have to take a piece of clothing off and leave it off every time you get one wrong."

"I might just take you up on that." I say laughing.

"So what. Am I not kissable?" He laughs with me.

"No. You are totally kissable. I just thought I could tease you, and maybe kiss you after..."

"Oh, ya. I'm ok with that." He smiles and hands me back the paper.

I ask him the first question and he gets it right. Then he asks me one and I get it right. I ask him a hard one and he gets it wrong. So he takes off his shirt. And his abs are gorgeous. I would so kiss them if his lips weren't available at the moment. He asks me a question, and I get it wrong. So I take off my shirt.

By the end of our quizzing game, we end up with him in his boxers, and me in my bra and a thong. We finish going through the list and he flings it into the air. Then he attacks me onto my bed and starts viciously kissing me. Then it hits me and I push him away from me.

"Should we do this?" I say looking concerned.

"Why shouldn't we do this?" He gives me a very puzzled look.

"Because last time I checked we were best friends, and I don't want to loose you as a friend no matter what happens."

"It's just kissing Kate. Nothing big. It's not like I'm planning on having sex with you. I wouldn't take it there unless you let me."

"True. But I've never kissed a boy either. Am I bad at it?" I bite the corner of my lip looking at him.

"Your one of the best kissers I've ever had." He says with a chuckle.

I look in the corner of my eye, smile, and look back into his eyes. Then to his mouth. He gets the hint, and slowly kisses me, they're sweet gentle kisses. I can feel him holding back, so I give him a little more. I kiss him harder and he takes over from there.

We stop feeling like someone's watching us, so we look in my doorway and see both Jack and Jessica looking at us. Zach stands up and puts a blanket over me quickly. And he puts on his pants, and leaves his shirt off. They walk into the room in shock.

"I thought you weren't together." Jack said in an angry tone.

"I agree." Jessica says trying not to laugh cause she's practically speechless. Zach and I look at each other and I decide to speak.

"We aren't dating. We were studying and fooling around. We ended up kissing. It's not a big deal. It's just kissing."

"It's a big deal Kate!" Jack yells furiously. And I don't know why. "You don't think that's not a big deal!?!?!?! Your acting like a slut. Just because I changed my mind about dinner."

"That is not why Jake!" I start crying. Zach gets mad and is ready to punch him, but he can't if he doesn't want to get put in the special room. The room that doesn't have anything in it so you can't hurt your self or anyone. He walks up to him holding back most of his anger and quietly says, "If you ever call Kate a slut again, you will be the next excuse on my list to get put in the special room. Or even jail. Now leave this room and her alone." He points to the door still staring him, his other hand in a tight fist.

Jack storms out of the room, and Zach comes over here and pulls me on his lap facing Jessica so he can hug me but still let me talk to Jessica. Jessica gets her car keys and says, "I'm gonna go home tonight. I've got some paper work I need to do." She walks out of the room and closes the door.

"So... Are we dating? Cause I would like to." He looks at me with those eyes and the dimples, and that smile. I can't help but smile and run my hands through his hair.

"I don't know. I'm scared that if it doesn't work out I'll loose you as a friend." He cups his hands into my face and says, "I would never let that happen Kate. We would stay friends even if you had to move to the other side of the world. So, what do you say? Will you go out with me Kate?
