"Why? Why did you kiss me?"
"You kissed me-"
"The first time, yes. But, you said you weren't gay so I was backing off, I made that clear. You kissed me, Trey. Why?"
"I'm not sure," He shrugs, not looking at me. "I just. Whenever I'm with you, I-I feel this sort of attraction towards you. Makes me want to do things,"
"What kind of things?" When he doesn't answer I move my hand to his thigh, watching his eyes drop to my hand. I hear his breath hitch as I move closer, pressing my lips under his jaw, kissing lightly. I kiss it again, moving down and when I reached the middle of his neck he stood up quickly.
"I have Hayley." He repeats.
"Then, go." I tell him. He stares at me for a moment before nodding, turning around and walking down the stairs. I can't help but smirk when I see him stop halfway down. He doesn't move for a few seconds and I stand up, "Everything alright, Trey?"
He turns around, biting his lip slightly when he mutters, "Fuck it," Before coming back into my room and grabbing my neck, leaning down and kissing me hard.
