candles and cotton | b.h

twelve.

i gasped into the kiss, my eyes wide, she smiled against my lips and pulled away.

i was bright red, i could feel it, my mouth hung open in shock, "oh.. wow.. you're a good kisser.."

she laughed at me, smiled and kissed my cheek, "goodbye y/n, i'll see you after autumn break."

i nodded vacantly, she smiled again and walked away, i stared on after her.

i unlocked the front door slowly, my keys jangled against the handle, it clicked open and i stepped inside, still a tad dazed from earlier.

the apartment was dark and quiet, i stepped deeper and set my keys on a small table in the hallway, i walked toward joe's room, thinking he was asleep.

yet his light was on and i heard muffled voices, i furrowed my brows and walked closer.

"i don't think y/n will be back tonight,"i heard joe say, "she told me she's on some date, she's probably getting laid as we speak."

i let out a quiet gasp, "joe!"i heard a feminine voice, rosie?

i raised a brow and put my ear against the door.

"she really hurt ben though, he told me, damn it, i think he really likes her, fucking tool."

i frowned, i heard rosie sigh and i turned and walked back toward my room, my feet ached and my head hurt, yet i skipped, a little whimsical, to my room.

"i just hope she doesn't find out ben's sleeping in her room."

i opened my door quietly, not trying to let joe or rosie hear me, and tip toed to my closet, taking out a pajamas.

i took off my clothes and changed into a shorts and tank top and put my other clothes in a corner in my room.

i tip toed back across to my bed and quickly slid inside, somehow it was still warm.

i turned and pulled the blanket up to my chin and..

felt breath on my face?

i opened my eyes and, inches from my face, was ben.

i let out an ungodly scream that shook the house.
