Red is definitely her color, and yet I prefer her in that stupid wisteria color she loves so much.
“You’re hot, too, you know?”
She can’t say things like that. As much as I’ve been longing to hear her say it, praying she finds me attractive since the day she arrived here, my brain can’t take it. Fuck, myheartcan’t take it.
“Of course I know. I’m the most handsome guy you’ll ever come across.”
Her eyes narrow at me, one hand coming up to my face where she’d grip my chin between her fingers, taking a closer look of me while moving my head from side to side.
“Meh. You’re missing some color. Maybe red would look good on you.”
If you think red will look good on me, Sofia, I will wear red every single day for the rest of my life.
“Shit, really?” She nods. “Kiss me then.”

“Kiss you?”
“Yes. You want to see red on me, kiss me.” His eyes drop to my lips then meet mine again. “Or are you scared you might fall for me if you kiss me?”
Asshole.
I’m a competitive person. I have to be if I want to make it through skating competitions without losing my head. The losers always end up on the receiving end. Being competitive and working your way up to be better than everyone else sure helps never being at the bottom of the rank.
So, tell me I can’t do something and I’m likely to do it just to prove the other person wrong.
Setting the bottle down on the floor for a hot second, I place both of my hands on either side of Aaron’s face. He smirks at me, either anticipating the kiss, or thinking I won’t go through with this.
I inhale deeply.Here goes nothing.
Moving in closer, I barely get the chance to catch another breath before Aaron’s mouth crashes down to mine, lips locking soft and gentle, yet it feels like they’re on fire.
My heart skips a beat or two when his hands grip onto my waist, pulling me from beside him right over in his lap. My legs are on either side of his body, seeking stability from the hay bale we’re sitting on. I try to hold myself up, not sitting down on his legs for my very own sanity. I’m not sure if it’s unfortunate, or fortunate when Aaron pushes my hips down, seating me right on top of him.
My brain sinks into my pants when I feel his dick press against my thigh. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I sure would love to know what he would feel like inside of me.
As soon as his tongue slips into my mouth, my brain shuts down. Thinking about whether or not this is wrong, that we shouldn’t kiss or be anything but friends isn’t important anymore. What’s important is that we both want this. So why the hell not give into the temptation?
People’s ways part all the time for various reasons, but if we never try to explore the unknown, we’ll never find out, right? Who even knows, maybe Aaron and I could be as good together as I prayed we would be. Maybe not.
I know we won’t last forever because I could never move back to New City. Getting a part of him for a little while will have to do. It’s all I can ever get, all he can ever get from me, and it sure is better than not having had the other at all, right?
Though there is one thing I refuse to do, lie to Aaron. He needs to know that this won’t be going anywhere. No future. No strings attached.
He is attracted to me, that much is obvious. The question is whether he is interested in a friends-with-benefits kind of relationship or not. I would be. Maybe it’s not the very best for my heart, but again, it’s all I can offer.
I can feel my nipples harden as I rub against him. Aaron groans into our kiss, pushing his tongue into my mouth to claim me. Like I’m not already his.
“Aaron.” I gasp for air, but before I know, his lips are back on mine. His hands slide from my hips to my ass, giving it a firm squeeze.
“There you are.”
Aaron and I break apart, my head instantly snapping toward the direction my mother’s voice came from. She just stands there, a smile on her lips, her arms crossed over her chest. My sister is standing right next to our mother, her hands balled into fists on either side of her body.
