No sex before e

Oh, ha-ha I cru my face inthe papers

I waved hie about going back out tonight for round two As soon as I sent it I blushed fro with Flynn! But surely Kope knew that I flopped over onto the bed, depleted of energy

I should have tried to nap, but there was no way that would happen with le I showered and then watched television, waiting to get the "go" from Dad

Hopefully this break could clear away the weirdness between Kope and me so ouldn’t be distracted e spoke with Flynn

Three hours after o till toh "Hey, Kope," I called to hi for et ready It was a good thing I healed fast, because the two spots onsome makeup, they didn’t show at all

Now I had to face Kope My friend Who I kissed today

He opened the door to his room before I had a chance to knock We looked at each other for a longinto the hall and closing the door behind him We walked in silence down the corridor on the squishy paisley carpets

"I figured we could just get a cab," I told him as we approached the elevator He nodded Earlier in the day I’done of the cool trains, traone

When we got on the elevator he practically crammed himself into the corner farthest away from me There was really nowhere to look except down because the walls and doors were all mirrors We accidentally made brief eye contact once in the panel’s reflection The tension was as palpable as the silence We sped through the hotel until ere outside around other people, breathing fresh air, with plenty of city scenery to keep our eyes busy

This was ridiculous

I lifted a hand to hail a cab, wondering just hoard sharing the backseat of a taxi would be Heaven help us if we touched by mistake Kope turned to me

"Wait," he said on a burst of breath I dropped my hand and looked into his sad eyes "Anna, reed, relieved "Yeah That would be good Let’s just" I motioned toward a bench It wasn’t private, but I doubted anyone in the fast- city would care to listen to our hushed conversation
