Dangerous Games

Chapter 7

*Kristina's POV*

I awoke again to something wet on my face, I groaned. I quickly got up heading for the bathroom and almost fell over my own feet.

Ray came in and rushed over to me nearly dropping the pain killers. I smiled, how thoughtful. My smile turned into deep embarrassment and I looked away taking the pain killers as I remembered what we did.

I snuck a look at him to find the awkwardness in this situation. It was never awkward between us no matter what happened.

So I straightened my back and didn’t want to change it.

   “So, wanna watch a movie until at least my brother gets back?” I asked casually. Keep it cool.

   “Uh… Sure,” maybe I’d imagined it, but how could I imagine something like that?

   “Look, I don’t want things to be weird between us,” I blurted honestly.

   “It could never be that way, are you going to uh…” he trailed off.

Is he thinking what I think he is? Why would he think that?

   “I would never play you or use you in the game. I love you unconditionally,” I said giving him a bear hug. He let out a sigh of relief.

   “Well, pretending wouldn’t be that bad, just don’t hurt me ok?” I rolled my eyes.

   “You’re not in it so chill!” I yelped when pushed me into the bed.

My mind wondered off as his eyes flickered to my lips. My heart raced until I calmed down when he put the washcloth back over my face.

He wouldn’t do it again right? I mean like, we’re just friends.

I don’t want to ruin our friendship or have like friends with benefits. But that wouldn’t be so bad either. Unless he fell for me and I would end up feeling bad. Or the other way around and the Game wouldn’t come out as planned. I realized my eyes were closed and I no longer had the cloth on my face. I opened my eyes sitting up.

I nearly crashed into Ray’s face, we were inches apart.

   “Done having a debate?” he asked with clear humor.

   “How would you know?” I answered with a question.

   “Because you looked thoughtful when you had an idea or got a better one and then scrunched up your nose when you decided otherwise,” he really does know me.

   “Whatever,” I said breathless still unable to believe being this close didn’t effect him. Or was he hiding it? I got a devious plan.

I got closer leaving only an inch between us. His breath hitched. Ah, he was playing cool. I let go completely, pulling him closer to me and our chest’s touched and my forehead rested on his. Kiss me damn it! My breathing quickened as our noses touched and his lips got closer to mine.

I couldn’t wait anymore I launched myself forward and our lips crashed. This is so not happening. My eyes fluttered closed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Man, he’s a good kisser.

He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer than humanly possible. I was lying on his chest when we finally pulled away.

I did things to him I’ve never done before. It was kind of good in one part because he could be my practice doll but in the other part I didn’t want to use him. I bit my lip unsure if I should tell or not because of the embarrassment or the thought of him being used and putting our friendship on the line. But right now I didn’t know if what we have was more or less than friendship.
