I've been lying awake in bed for an hour just thinking about Charlotte and I's kiss last night.

It's was slow and passionate.

But hungry and wanting, at the same time.

It makes my body shiver by thinking about it.

Gosh.

I shouldn't feel these things.

She doesn't like you, she's your best friend.

If she's my best friend then why did she kiss me as if I was her lover?

I rub my temples since I feel a headache coming on.

I slowly and carefully get off of Charlotte's bed, careful not to wake her.

When I'm successfully off her bed I make my way out of her room and downstairs towards the kitchen.

As I'm eating my bowl of cereal I hear someone walk into the kitchen. I turn my head in the direction that they're coming from only to see Carolina smiling at me.

"What are you so happy about?" I grumble out in my sleepy state

"You had an interesting night last night," she says which causes my cheeks to burn as I think about Charlotte and I's kiss

"How do you feel?" She asks

"How are you supposed to feel when you make out with your best friend of three years?" I ask her with sarcasm evident in my tone

She frowns as she walks towards me and sits down beside me.

"Aspen, you're not the only one freaking out" She says with a meaningful tone

"What do you mean?" I ask

"Charlotte has been freaking out too" she says.

Before I get a chance to respond Charlotte walks into the kitchen looking hotter than ever.

Her long blonde hair is messily thrown over her shoulder.

As she stretches her tank top rises a little which faintly exposes her abs.

Her long tan legs look so-

"Aspen" someone says harshly as they snap their fingers in front of my face which causes me to jerk back into reality

"Huh?" I ask as I look at Carolina who's failing to keep her laughter in

"I asked if you're feeling okay?" Charlotte says with her raspy morning voice

Fuck, the things that voice does to me.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I feel okay?" I ask shakily as I cross my legs, hoping that it'll dull the pulsating in my intimate area

"You recently broke your arm and ribs" she states as she leans her arms on the table which gives me a perfect view of her cleavage

"Oh right" I whisper

I've been so distracted lately that I didn't even notice it.

"I must be a quick healer" I say awkwardly with a shrug

"If you'll excuse me" I say before I stand up and walk out of the kitchen and into the living room.

I'm halfway through a random hallmark movie when Charlotte walks into the room with a blanket and hot cocoa.

"You're watching Christmas movies without me?" She asks teasingly as she sets the mugs of hot cocoa down
