The next time it happened, I was sitting in the lounge, working on some things for school. It'd been difficult trying to maintain a healthy balance with my school life, personal life, and work life. It didn't help matters that after the dream, I'd been on edge around Jess. She'd noticed a few times and asked if I was ok, but I skirted around the conversation, blaming it on school or work. Today was an especially difficult day. I'd had school and then work immediately after, and had only just gotten home and had to try to squeeze out two assignments before the next morning.
I was going through another moment of pure annoyance when Jess had walked in. Her mere presence changed the atmosphere completely, and I couldn't maintain my focus as she walked over, sitting down next to me, grabbing the remote, and turning on some random channel. I wasn't paying attention to that. My laptop was still on my lap, the page that contained my math assignments still open and waiting, but my focus was now on my best friend.
She'd only gotten more beautiful since the last dream I'd had of her, her hair an almost golden brown cascading past her shoulders in curly waves, and a small but very prominent crooked smile on her face as she watched the television with focus I only wished I could have.
She must have felt my eyes on her, because she turned towards me, a look of curiosity showing in her eyes. "What?" Shaking my head, I turned back to my computer, trying to focus again on my homework, knowing it was a moot point. My thoughts were already tainted by her: her face, her body, her very existence.
After a few moments of just staring at my screen, listening to Jess laughing at something on the television across the room, I decided I couldn't take it anymore. Setting my laptop on the table, I turned towards Jess, my hand going to the side of her face, quickly turning her face in my direction and kissing her, softly at first.
The feeling of her soft lips against mine brought a quiet hum from deep inside of me, and I couldn't help shifting, pulling Jess closer to me, a contented hum slipping out as she straddled my lap, her legs going around my waist as I shifted back further on the couch, my arms going around her waist, fingers slipping under her shirt and resting on her soft skin.
Within minutes, the kiss had grown heated, one of my hands having tangled itself in her hair, the other pushing her shirt up, letting out a frustrated moan as I had to separate myself from Jess long enough to pull the shirt up and over her head, tossing it to the side and quickly trailing soft kisses down the side of her neck, relishing in the quiet moans and sighs slipping past her lips. I knew better than to leave any marks. I knew Jess had a boyfriend, and he was a good friend of mine. I couldn't help it though, knowing how hot it would be to look back at her, seeing my mark on her skin, and it brought on a whole new wave of pleasure to course through my body as I started sucking a small bruise into her skin.
