Shit!
SHIT!
My fucking life... oh God, why the hell are you doing this to me!
I screamed internally and kicked my legs. We did it, again! And I was again the one who asked for it!
I must have sounded so desperate! My innocence! What would he be thinking about me right now?
I cursed under my breath.
When I opened my eyes this morning, I was down with a hangover. What was worse was the handsome sleeping face of my best friend before me, his ripped naked chest making my heart beat like crazy. I was dressed in his shirt from last night. He had me pulled tightly towards him, his muscular arms holding my back.
This was wrong. I was pushing him too much. I could always get away with this, saying that I was drunk. Hell, I could even blame it on him, but I knew I would be lying. I wanted it so much last night, exactly what I told him. I just never imagined I would be voicing my thoughts out loud.

I kicked in my fight or flight skills, just flight perhaps as I tried to pull away, hoping to leave and skip the words I dreaded. But he gripped my wrists tightly as he got up on the bed and pulled me towards him. I fell on the bed in his arms.
"You are not going anywhere until we are done talking."
"I know, I understand what you want to talk about. Please, Kai!" I pleaded. "I am sorry this happened! I'll just go back to my home-"
"Damn, do you hate me this much, Alice?" He sighed, running his free hand through his hair.
What is he saying? He should be the one hating me for-
