"Oh come on you can't honestly say you didn't enjoy what happened last night." He says. His arms are hugging the pillow as if it were a person. His eyes are closed and he's half asleep, but he's smiling. As if he didn't just sleep with his sisters ex best friend. "I didn't. Go back to sleep Aaron." He groans and turns to lay on his back. The blanket he has is barely covering anything. God that blanket is see through. I quickly go back to putting my dress on. I slip the straps of my dress over my shoulders. I grab my hoodie and slip it over my head. It gets stuck somehow. I cant see my surroundings, all I can see is black. "Let me help-," I hear Aaron say behind me, but due to me thinking he was asleep he scares the living shit out of me, causing me to push him away. What I didn't know was that he was grabbing onto me, making me fall onto him. Unfortunately, he landed on the floor as I landed on top of him. "Oh..my..god," I say. My hands form to fists and they're banging against his chest. I'm yelling at him for how much of an idiot he is for pulling me with him. I see a smile form on his lips, getting me irritated. I lift my hand slightly enough to strike his face, but he grabs my hand. Within those slight moments, I began to realize my surroundings. He. Is. Naked. No clothes. And I am straddling his hips. His left hand is gripping my waist. While his right hand is still making sure I don't attemp to slap him again. I began to realize while I was putting on my clothes, I somehow forgot to put on my panties and i'm wet. Oh god this is embarrassing. There is so much going on right now I don't hear what Aaron is saying to me. There's has been so much tension between us ever since we first saw each other after two years. "Cass," he says. He's breathing like the world is on fire. "Cass," he says, yet again. "Cass, if you don't manage to get off my lap, there is no guarantee I won't take you back to my bed."

"Ace I wanna dance" I said pulling his arm so he can get up. "Amor we're on the beach... and there's no music" he laughed. "Here I'll play some,just please dance with meee" I whined with the pout he can't say no too. I grabbed my phone and played Dandelions by Ruth B. "Fine whatever you what" he said softly smiling at me and placing one hand on my waist and me holding the other. I put my head on his chest as we slowly started swaying to the music. I softly sang the song while dancing "I see forever in your eyes,I feel okay when I see you smile" I sang. I took my head off Ace's chest and looked into his eyes. They were glistening from the beautiful moon light hitting them. I stood up on my tippy-toes and placed a soft kiss on his lips. As I was about to pull away he grabbed my face and deepened the kiss.
