Just Because I Met You

Chapter 23

You know the saying, "My mind was telling me no, but my body's telling me yes?" Well that's exactly how I felt right now.
My mind was screaming NO. I have a boyfriend and Jared is damn near dating my best friend. What kind of friend is this?! Not a good one at all! But my body was screaming YES. It felt so natural and right when we kissed. Its almost like our lips were made for another but that's not the case. Was it lust that had us attracted to each other in the slightest way? Or was it genuine?
If it was lust, it had to stop now.
If it was genuine, then... I have no clue.

I put my hands on his chest, and pushed him off gently. "Jared.. We can't be doing this.."

"Why?"

His response just about had my head explode, "Wh-What do you mean why?! " I shouted.

I'm surprised Mom or Trina hasn't came out of their room to ask what the commotion was all about.

Jared stayed silent.

"Do you even like Jaycee?" I ask him.

He quickly got offended, "Yes I like her!"

"Then why are you kissing me?" I question.

He shrugged, "I don't know! I-I just had to figure something else out."

I crossed my arms, "Figure what out?"

"Must you interrogate me, Arianna?"

I held my hands up in surrender, "Fine, fine. Whatever. Sorry.."

We stood in an awkward silence and I wanted to beat myself up. I felt so guilty. How was keeping this from Jaycee going to be easy? I mean it was a mistake, yeah. I felt like a terrible friend, yeah. What more was to it?
I find out Jared likes me..

..

..

..

..
...
Yeah right.

I chuckle to myself at the thought. Jared liking me doesn't even sound right. It sounds like nonsense, and a huge turn for a disaster.

Jared looks at me strangely.
