"You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter. Like a hard candy with a surprise center. How do I get better once I've had the best. You said, there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test."

Chapter Theme Song: 'Thinking of You' by Katy Perry.

Shit.

For some odd reason I keep recalling the kiss with me and Chelsy.

Here I was, in my room, laying down just looking up at the ceiling.

And then it came back, the way her lips felt on mine and the way her bare skin felt when I groped it.

Was I lusting about her right now?

Oh shit. How on earth could I be here fantasizing about my best friend's little sister?

Normally something as simple as a kiss wouldn't be on my mind like this but with her, I can't seem to forget it.

I acted like it meant nothing to me and teased her about it whenever I got the chance but actually the person who deserves to be laughed at was me. I was the one who just could not stop thinking about it.

I guess maybe because we grew up together and it's awkward that we would lock lips like that.

Well it was just practice, right?

Now that we were growing up, things were gradually changing. I felt it.

I couldn't let that happen, right?

She was my best friend's sister after all.

Maybe Elizabeth could make me forget about her for a while. It's uncomfortable and unhealthy to harbor those thoughts around in my headspace.

I pulled my cell out and dialed Elizabeth's number, hoping she could help get my mind off it.

"Hey, Babe."

I smiled. "Wanna come over?"

My normal code for 'wanna come over' is actually 'let's have sex.'

She knew that so I needed not to say no more.

❤********❤

Elizabeth laid up on her elbows in my bed while I stood fixing the belt of my jeans.

The sex was okay but it didn't take my mind off that kiss.

"Did you enjoy it?" She asked with a smile, whipping her hair from her eyes.

I shrugged. "It was okay."

I reached for my T-shirt and pulled it over my head.

I didn't see how offended her face looked as I walked over to my dresser to pick my phone up since my back was turned, but her silence for a few seconds told me she was.

She sat up and pushed her brown hair back. "Did I not please you this time?"

I turned to her. "No it's not like that, I just got something on my mind that's all."

She sighed as she got off my bed, wearing just my large T-shirt as she approached me.

She wrapped her arms around my neck. "Should I try to take your mind off it?"

I let out a harsh breath and unwrapped her slender arms from my neck. "Not today bae, I am going by Max to play games, maybe that will help."

She swallowed, a look of disappointment in her eyes.

She grabbed her bag as she forced a smile. "Okay but call me if anything."

I nodded.

She began moving to the door slowly as if she didn't want to leave yet and I called out to her. "Wait, Liz."

She turned to face me, a hopeful look in her brown eyes.

I scratched my forehead. "Uh, my T-shirt."

She made a face as if to ask 'seriously?'

I shrugged. "It's my favorite shirt."

She rolled her eyes and pulled it over her head, throwing it across to me, I caught it with one hand then she reached for her dress and began putting it on.

"Safe travel home," I said as she turned away and walked out, closing the door behind her.

What's wrong with me you may ask? I got no idea. All I know is that I am distracted and it is Chelsy's fault.

❤*******❤

"Yessss! I won again!" Max giggled as he had won the Need For Speed game for the fifth time in a row. I was normally the champion of this PS4 game but apparently I was so freaking distracted in everything that Max was about to take my f*cking crown.

I growled as I reached for a bottle of beer, taking a sip.

Max chuckled. "What's up with you today? I am beating you so bad."

"Could you guys keep it down?! I am trying to study up here!"

And there she was. The reason I blew my girlfriend off today and the reason I was flunking my favorite game.

Chesly stomped downstairs in anger. "Max, please have some respect for people who are being academically productive."

Her eyes landed on me for a while then she quickly looked away. "Keep it down a notch, will you?"

Max smiled. "Okay okay. I got you."

She glanced at me again before moving off.

Max was still chuckling at his victory but I was worried. Worried that I couldn't seem to stop thinking about that kiss.

This was definitely not healthy.
