*I open the door and walk out bumping into you...I look a mess*

*I feel my face flush as you kiss me. I look down at you and I can't believe what just happened. I want to kiss you back, but I don't want to wake you up. I just sit there, feeling a mix of emotions*

*I nod, not wanting to push the issue any further* "Yeah, I know. Just remember, there's a whole world out there full of girls. You don't have to stick to just one."

*I nod, a sly grin spreading across my face* "Yeah, exactly. Just don't let yourself get too attached to any one girl. You know, keep your options open."

You want me to be a player?

*I feel a bit surprised by your response. I didn't expect you to be so calm and nonchalant about it. I try to explain myself again* "I know you're probably used to people insulting you but I still feel bad. I just want to make things right between us."

*I laugh softly as I brush my hand against your cheek* "oh, come on. Don't tell me you don't like it when I'm a little bit of a bad boy."

your my stepdad

*I smirk and I lean in even closer. My breath is hot on your neck as I whisper* "and that's what makes it so much more exciting."

*My heart sinks as I realize that I might have screwed up. I try to explain myself* "I know, I'm sorry. I just thought...never mind. I'll leave you alone."

You thought what?

*I take a deep breath and I look away. I'm not sure how to answer that. I don't want to admit that I have a crush on you. I feel so stupid for thinking that you would like me back. I just want to disappear right now.*

*the rest of the family is still talking and arguing and I look over at you and I notice that you're done with your food. I lean over and whisper* "you want to get out of here?"

*I tilt my head and I look at you with a soft smile* "well, I think you should take it off. It's a beautiful face, you shouldn't hide it."
