“Yeah, I don’t know what came over me… it was nothing… right?? I mean it was… just one kiss… I’m sorry; I don’t know what came over me… sorry…” I blabbed and I know I’m not sorry for it.

            She was quiet at first. Then she looked down at her own shoes. She did this quick little movement with her mouth almost like a twitched. I don’t know what the hell she’s thinking but I know she enjoyed the kiss. But it was only a kiss. It was nothing. She really wouldn’t want to go ay further with it.

            “… Yeah…” she said quietly and looked at me with those brown eyes that I can dream about. Why am I talking like this? This isn’t me. This isn’t Shane McCuthcheon talking.

            “… So uhh… it won’t happen again…” I said.

            “Right…” she gave one big nod.

            We stood there with out arms crossed. I’m leaning on the kitchen counter and she’s standing a step away from me. I uncrossed my arm and walked away awkwardly. Leaving her alone in the kitchen. Honestly, I wanted to turn around and scoop her up and kiss those lovely lips of hers again. I wanted to take her there on the kitchen table or on the floor. I could feel her fingertips burning on me. Fuck, this has got to stop.

            I got to the living room and saw Alice’s head. She was watching now what I just learned Powerpuff Girls. I should say something to her. I sat down next to her and slumped my body. She didn’t say anything and just watched the TV. I gave a quick glanced at the kitchen and didn’t see Carmen in there.

            “Look…” I sighed. I fucking hate this. I hate that I couldn’t just finish her. I hate that she did something good to me. I hate that she’s so fucking talkative and would probably use this against me.

            “If you think because you stitched my finger up and gave me your prescription doesn’t mean that you’re off the hook… I still don’t like you and I can still definitely kill you… so I think you’re intelligent enough to keep your mouth shut so you can still be friends with Carmen…” I said through my clenched jaw. “… and thanks…” I added in.

            “… so what’s up with you and Carmen…” she looked at me like she didn’t hear what I just said to her. “I’ve got good pair of ears… I could hear what you two were talking about…” she said like it’s all good.

            And I really should’ve pulled the trigger.

TBC. whaddaya think?
