Saving My Ass From Going Back to Hell

"Judas, what the hell?" I yelled at my friend who had tackled Jessie.

I realized that I had to be extremely careful about how defensive I was with Jessie. I had to admit that there was something about this girl that made me feel things I've never felt before. I wanted to hold her and kiss her all day. But not because of lust.

"Who is this?" Judas said breaking through my thoughts.

I looked at Jessie who was staring at me, those blue eyes that could cut through ice always made me a bit uneasy. What was she capable of?

"I don't know her name, I met her after we got here," I said, making sure I didn't say her name. I saw Judas look at Jessie and then at me. Suddenly he started laughing and got off of her. I rushed over to her and helped her up.

"Four days in New York and you already got a girl over. So how has it been so far?" He asked looking at Jessie.

I could tell she didn't know what to say.

"She has no words," I said, winking and saving Jessie's ass.

Judas laughed again.

"So do you guys want a drink? I mean YOU must need one by now," he said looking at Jessie again.

"Sure, just give us a second," I said letting Judas out and closing my door behind him.

"Great, now you're fucked. You have to stay and play it off, you and me are having a one night stand and that's it, follow that story and you should be fine. Just nothing about God or whatever," I said looking right at Jessie.

"Ok," she paused, "I'm sorry," she said looking up at me.

"Too late for sorry, right now you better hope you don't get caught, let's go."

We walked out and Judas had already served us all a shot of Devil's vodka. Jessie and I sat down at the island in the kitchen.

"Some Devil's vodka for our good friend," Judas said emphasizing 'friend' in the sentence.

Judas turned back around to put the drinks and some food he had put out away. I suddenly felt Jessie poke me under the counter.

"I can't drink this, it's like poison for me. It will kill me," she said with panic rising in her voice.

I could only really think of one thing, I grabbed her shot and drank it along with mine. Judas turned back around and looked at the two cups surprised. Meanwhile, I was trying my best to pretend like I didn't just chug two shots of Vodka.

"Wow, you two are thirsty. You want some more?" Judas asked.

"No, we're good," I heard Jessie say. "Don't want to be too boozed up before the rest of our night."

I felt her run her fingers through my hair sending chills down my spine.

"So how long has this been going on?" Judas asked me.

"About 2 days after we got here, I was on a walk and I saw her sitting on a bench. One thing led to another and we became friends with benefits," I said.

"So what, did you guys have a one night stand and then she stuck?"

I felt a blush come on, too quickly for me to hold it back.

"No, I'm taking it slow with this one," I said leaning over the table to whisper to Judas. "I want to know how these humans work," I said putting a teasing tone into 'work'. I felt Jessie poke me again under the counter, this time dangerously close to my ass.

I sat back down and looked at her, I almost laughed when I saw her whole face was beet red. Judas looked at me then back at Jessie.

"She looks kind of dumb," Judas said simply.

"Hey! I actually graduated top of my class in He-"

"-igh school," I interrupted before Jessie could finish the thought.

"Well, we need to go back to bed, don't we Angel?" I said teasing Jessie even though I knew she didn't like it when I called her that. For some reason I wanted to test her patience.

Jessie and I started walking toward the room when suddenly Judas grabbed Jessie's shoulder and turned her around.

"I don't believe you guys, I think you are hiding something. How about you just tell me the truth?" Judas asked now, getting closer to Jessie.

I quickly ran between them and tried my best for a straight face.

"What, do you want us to kiss in front of you to prove it?" I asked as a joke.

"Yup," he said simply.

I didn't think he would say yes. My whole body suddenly went stiff, Judas was never known for doing something like this. Even though he loved to bother me when it came to girls, he never asked something as personal as this. I turned back and looked at Jessie who was completely pale. I tried my best to send her a message with a look. If we don't do this he'll kill you. I saw Jessie nod, a sign she understood what I was trying to say.

I turned my body to face hers and did what came naturally to me. I ran my hand down her jaw and grabbed her chin. I pulled her closer and kissed her lips softly, she pulled back for a second before coming back in this time full force. It caught me off guard but I couldn't stop. I felt her open her mouth and let me explore it with my own tongue. I don't know how long it was before I finally heard Judas.

"Ok, ok, case in point, go finish that in the room," he said looking away now.

Jessie and I stared at each other for a second before I grabbed her hand and pulled her into my room. I raced inside and closed the door behind me. I don't know how but Jessie was already sitting on my bed with her head in her hands.

"What was that?" Jessie asked in shock.

I walked over and sat next to her, this time she didn't back off.

"The kiss or the fact that you almost got caught and killed?" I asked jokingly.

"Both," Jessie said quietly.

"I have no idea," I said, a smile slowly creeping across my mouth.

"Why did it feel so good?" I heard her whisper softly.

I looked at her surprised to see she was staring right at me. She broke the stare by falling backward and digging her face in one of my pillows. I could tell she was trying to hide the blush she had all night. I had to admit I was also confused about what had just happened. Jessie did have a point. Why did it feel so good? And so natural? Why was I so confused and aroused by it? Why does this girl make me feel things that I have never felt before? Was this lust or... something else? After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I heard Jessie soft snores.

"Shit," I sighed.
