“You don’t need to thank me. That’s what friends do. Make each other feel better. That’s one of the many rules of friendship Sebastian taught me. One day you’ll know all of them.”
I stay silent, not knowing what to say.
Marie’s eyes soften and she says, “What happened that made me so anxious?”
“Just my thoughts.”
“About what?”
I hesitate and she senses the long pause that I take.
Reaching over, she gives me a hug. “I’m here for you always. Tell me when you feel like it. No pressure at all.”
I wrap my arms around her neck. “Thanks, Marie, for everything. I just need time to think about it myself first.”
“I know. Don’t worry about it.”
“Are you sure?”
“More than a thousand percent.” She pulls back and shoots me a genuine smile. “Let’s head back to our boyfriends.”
Just then my phone starts pinging with messages all from Heath.
Marie laughs as she starts the engine. “Heath is so obsessed with you.”
“That’s not true.”
“The twenty messages say otherwise.”
He calls me and Marie proudly grins.

HEATH
I dropoff Hope at her house with a reluctant heart. She said she has a test she has to study for. I suggested doing it at my place but she said I wouldn’t let her study.
She isn’t wrong.
I can’t keep my hands to myself when she is around.
I let her out of my car after a five-minute make out session and only because her lips were swollen and numb and she pushed me off because she was breathing hard.
That wasn’t the only thing hard.
So was my dick that had no business getting aroused at a moment like this. Lately, it’s been happening a lot and I don’t know what to do about it. I’ve never gotten hard this fast and this bad for a girl before. It is fucking painful. It happens with kissing alone. I can’t imagine what will happen if we go second base or more. I know I’ll embarrass myself because there’s no way I’d be able to control myself.
Hope is beautiful.So fucking beautiful. From her big brown eyes to her lovely face. She is gorgeous.
My heart dances at a rhythm of its own whenever it sees her. I can hardly breathe or think, much less control my dick that is as much attracted to her as the rest of me.
“Fucking hell,” I mutter with a groan.
We’ve just started dating.
Nothing much has happened between us apart from some little kissing.
And here I am getting erection just from breathing the same air as her.
