“Well well well,” Kyla’s voice woke me up and I jerked up before realizing that Ashley and I were still wrapped around each other. I felt a blush cover my face as Ashley ignored Kyla and held me tighter. “Ashley didn’t we talk about you mauling my friends?” Kyla teased, jumping onto the bed.

                “Go away Kyla,” Ashley mumbled, making me grin even I was trying not to show them how much I was enjoying Ashley’s warm body pressed up against mine.

                “How did you get here?”

                “My dad let me borrow the car,” She answered, leaning back on her elbows. I was trying not to focus on the fact that Ashley was wrapped around me right in front of my best friend who just happened to be her sister.

                “Good, you can use it to drive yourself home,” Ashley said again, making Kyla roll her eyes but wink at me. I felt a blush creep across my skin, hoping to God that Ashley didn’t see. The two sisters didn’t seem to mind that I was completely embarrassed but every time that I tried to pull away from Ashley she just held on tighter. Eventually I just relaxed and I could practically feel Ashley smile.

                “You know your mom is here?” Kyla asked, making me tense up again. “Shocked the hell out of me,” I couldn’t stop the small smile that crept onto my face. I felt Ashley rub my back a bit, as if she were comforting me. I sighed and let my head rest on top of hers, making Kyla’s grin grow a bit as she waggled her eyebrows suggestively. I shot her a dirty look but she just smirked.

                “Why are you here Kyla?” Ashley groaned, as I pushed one of my hands through her hair, scratching her scalp lightly. “That feels great,” she mumbled, making me smile.

                “Well I didn’t know that I needed a reason to come over and visit my best friend,” She said in a fake offended voice. “What are you doing over here, Ash?” She asked, making her stiffen in my arms.

                “We’re sleeping,” I answered, “because someone wasn’t home.”

                “Yeah yeah, blame it on me!” She sighed. “Hey Ashley, I was actually supposed to tell you that someone called,”

                “Who?” She asked, not moving.

                “Uh…Kristy, Crystal, something like that,” She answered dismissively but I felt Ashley stiffen.

                “Kristin?” Ashley questioned, sitting up and pulling away from me completely.

                “Yeah, that’s it!” Kyla said, smiling even as Ashley jumped up.

                “Shit! Shit! Fuck!” She hissed, looking around for her shoes.

                “Who’s Kristin?” Kyla asked which I was grateful for seeing as I was too much of a coward to ask. Kristin must’ve been the girl that she was interested in. Suddenly I felt like an idiot for being excited about falling asleep with her. I bet she cuddled with all of her friends.

                “Just – just a girl that I know,” Ashley said, throwing me a look that I didn’t quite understand. I looked away, not quite knowing what to think. “Spence, do you think that you can take Kyla home?” Ashley asked, grabbing Kyla’s keys off of the bed.

                “Yeah, of course,” I answered, watching as she practically ran out of the room. “Well that settles that,” I said, turning to Kyla.

                “What do you mean?”

                “She obviously doesn’t like me; she went all crazy for Kristin!”

                “Bull shit! Jesus I wish that you could’ve seen the two of you when I came in! I thought you were having sex or something!”

                “No, she only likes me as a friend.”

                “We’re best friends, right?”

                “Yeah,”

                “Well I can honestly say that I’ve never felt the urge to hold you like you two were holding each other. Friends don’t usually do that.”

                “Yeah well I think that you’re wrong.” I answered, shrugging as I flopped back onto my bed.

                “I’ll prove it to you some way. Ashley is obviously infatuated with you.”
