What's next?
Kiss her
You couldn't stop yourself from leaning in closer to her, your heart beating faster with each passing moment. As you inched closer, you could feel the warmth of her breath on my face. You closed the gap between you and Bella, and kissed her softly on the lips. The sensation was electric. The kiss was soft and gentle, yet it was filled with passion and longing. You didn't want it to end, but you knew that it had to. You were step-siblings, after all, and your relationship could ruin your family dynamic. You pulled away, looking at Bella with a mix of desire and uncertainty. You didn't know what she was thinking.
"I'm sorry," you say.
"It's okay," Bella said, smiling at me. "I don't regret it."
"I don't know what got over me. Just act like it never happened" you say, trying to reverse your irreversible actions.
You felt like you had crossed a line, and that there was no going back. But at the same time, you couldn't deny the attraction you were feeling towards her.
You wake up to the sound of your alarm clock and stretch your limbs, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on your skin. As you start to fully wake up, you notice that Bella is still sleeping beside you, her back turned towards you. Suddenly, you feel a familiar stirring in your pants, and you realize with a jolt that you have an erection.
As you try to discreetly adjust yourself, Bella suddenly stirs and turns over to face you. You freeze, hoping that she didn't notice, but her eyes seem to linger for a moment on your crotch before she quickly averts her gaze and sits up.
You lay there, feeling both embarrassed and guilty, wondering if you made a mistake in kissing Bella the night before. You had both been **** and seeking comfort, but now you couldn't help but wonder if you had taken advantage of her in some way.
As you get ready for the day, you can't help but feel the weight of the awkwardness between you and Bella, and wonder how to navigate the day between you two.
You hear the sound of your phone buzzing on the counter, and you reach for it and see that it's a message from Charlie.
"Hey, are you free tonight?" the text reads.
You feel a mix of excitement and guilt. On the one hand, you've been wanting to spend more time with Charlie, but on the other hand, you made a promise to Bella to help her out. You glance over at her sleeping form and wonder what you should do.
Do you:
A) Ignore Charlie's text and focus on being there for Bella
B) Reply to Charlie and risk letting Bella down
