I nod, feeling self-conscious under his assessing gaze. “Ye-yeah, you probably should.”
He frowns and rubs the back of his head. “I will get going now.” He straightens his shirt and grabs his suit jacket.
He casts me one last look before the door closes behind him.
I let out a breath and buried my head in my hands.
Oh my god! I kissed him. I kissed Chris.
We almost had sex. If my phone alarm hadn't sounded, I would have slept with him.
Am I that desperate?
I turn off the alarm and place the phone on my chest, thankful for the interruption. I would never be able to forgive myself if I had slept with Chris.
We don't even get along, and I almost let him… I can't even bring myself to imagine how weak and pliant I was to his touch. Have I always been that sensitive?
I feel like crying because this is a big deal to me. Even if I'm trying to convince myself that it isn't, it is a big deal to me but not to Chris. To him, I'm now probably on the list of girls who he can easily get into their pants.
I know the feeling I have for him is dangerously unhealthy to both my mind and soul. Yet my heart and body want what they want, regardless of all logical thinking.
And I know I'm screwed.
Chapter 6
Chris
My fingers tap on my lips for what I assume is the hundredth time today.
I'm acting like a kid who just got handed the candy he desperately cried for. Devoid of any alcohol prompting, I kissed Gianna. The kiss we shared in her living room was much more passionate and better than the one we shared at the club.
Just when I thought all I needed was her forgiveness, I got distracted by her lips and lost my senses. She wants me. There's no more doubt about that, judging by her body's response. I must have her in my bed, writhing under me and screaming my name. Blood rushes to my groin at the thought, and I groan.
Get ahold of yourself, Chris.
A part of me warns that she's off limits. That I shouldn't be messing with my sister's best friend. But the other part of me is curious. Curious to know more about her. Curious to find out if those intense feelings I feel whenever I'm around her will continue after I have her. Any other woman would have readily jumped into bed with me but not G. I've got my work cut out for me.
I don't give two shits about what’s wrong and what’s right. All I know is I want more of her. I need more of her. And I won't give up until I have all of her.
Who doesn't love a little challenge?
My bedroom door bangs open, slamming against the wall. I'm about to shout at the intruder only to see that the culprit is Nala grinning like a Cheshire cat.
“Surprise!” She jumps on me, wrapping her hands around me in a tight embrace.
“You are choking me.”
“You deserve that for not telling me you and G are neighbors,” she squeals.
I stiffen at the mention of her name. She releases me from the embrace and sits in front of me on the sofa. She casts me a skeptical look and folds her arms.
I straightened the fabric of my button-up, which she had wrinkled with her hug.
“Do you still hate her?” she asks. When I don't answer, she frowns. “It's been years, Chris. If she wanted to hurt me, she would have done so by now. Stop being mean to her.”
“And who told you I'm being mean to her?” I feel offended by her accusations.
She shrugs. “No one has to tell me. I learned all I needed to from your reaction the moment I mentioned her name. It's been years, get over it.”
