Steve

I took a deep breath before knocking on the door in front of me, the crisp fall air whipping around making me shudder and pull my collar up. I was at the Henderson house mainly here for Dustin to help fix his bike but I knew there was a good chance that I would run into Danica while here.

"Oh Steven come in" Danica and Dustin's mother spoke as she opened the door wider, "little Dusty has been so upset about his bike" she spoke causing me to snort at his nickname, "I'll fix it Mrs. Henderson" I spoke going up the stairs to find Dustin.

"Hey" I heard, I stopped in my tracks. The sound of her beautiful voice ringing through my ears. I turned around coming face to face with Danica, Her short hair was tossed in a bun and she still had her PJs on "Hey" I replied. I was stuck, I swallowed the lump that was stuck in my throat, I watched her In awe as she made her way over to me. Her small figure standing in front of me and all I wanted to do was wrap my arms around her.

"Here to fix Dustin's bike?" She questioned biting her bottom lip. I nodded my head forcing a smile. "Finally he's been making me drive him everywhere" she spoke her forehead wrinkling up with annoyance. There was a silence between us which led me to start up a conversation, "Plans for today?" I asked.

"Nope, Just going to take a shower and stay in" she explained nodding over to the bathroom.

"You should stop by sometime, my mother keeps asking about you" Danica gave me a small smile before wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her body against mine in a hug. I gently placed my hands on her waist, raising her top up a bit as I hugged her back. Her breast pressed against me causing her nipples to harden making me pull away. I didn't feel like putting myself in a position to relieve a hard-on in their bathroom.

"Sorry that was uh"

"It's okay Dani, I'll see you around" I spoke letting her continue on to her shower. I walked into Dustin's room, who was already tying on his sneakers "Hey bro" he spoke giving me a pound.

"Hey, so where's the bike?" I asked, Dustin walking out of his room indicating for me to follow him, "It's pretty dinged up, My brakes gave out and I crashed it into a tree."

"Dammit Dustin" I cursed Dustin lowered his head with sadness knowing his bike was his only form of transportation "It's in the driveway just follow me" he spoke running downstairs. I was about to follow him when I heard the sound of running water, Danica was in the shower and she had the door open a bit.

I couldn't help myself. My mind went blank and my body took over, my legs taking me to the crack and I was able to see, the bathroom was steamy but I could still make her out. I watched as she ran her hands over her wet naked body applying soap. I gulped knowing I shouldn't be doing this, but I couldn't help it I was attracted to this girl in every way.

"Fuck" I mumbled as I manage to pull myself away going downstairs to meet Dustin.

Danica

I pulled on my long sleeve and slipped on my boots. I was going to stay in all day but decided against it when I saw Steve, we haven't seen much of each other and I knew that us being with each other would bring up old feelings but I also missed my best friend. I thought back to the day that he kissed me and I kissed him back and how much I regretted. I regretted it not because I didn't like him, Steve was a great catch. I regretted it because it shifted our friendship in the worse way causing things to become awkward and complicated.

"Boys" I spoke as I entered the garage seeing them hard at work with Dustin's bike. Steve looked up at me, meeting my eyes. We stared at each other for a while until he finally looked away tending to Dustin's bike.

"It's almost done bud" Steve spoke grabbing a wrench and tighten his chain.

"I was thinking about getting some food. Would you guys like to join?" I asked looking at Steve who tried not to look at me.

"I'm about to head to the arcade so no thanks" Dustin spoke as he left Steve and me alone, I looked at him with hopeful eyes hoping that my best friend, well former best from would turn his attention to me

"Steve?" I questioned causing him to look up, he sighed before saying "I can't" He spoke making me look away from him an "Oh" slipping from my lips. I heard him get up and gather his things about to leave.

"Why are you being so cold with me!?" I spat out Steve freezing in his place, "Ever since I came home you've been acting different"

"Things just can't go back to the way they were Dani" Steve spoke through gritted teeth as he faced me. "Well, why not?" I pushed.

"Because I love you Danica!"

And there it was, The words that caused a rift in our friendship four years ago. "But you will never love me the way that I love you" He spoke making my heartache, "Steve" I whispered

"Maybe we should just end everything here, Stop causing pain to each other" he explained turning his back to leave. "Steve wait" I rushed over to him turning him around and before I knew it my lips were on his. It was a sweet kiss, a sweet kiss that held so much passion. Four years of missing each other was felt in this kiss. Steve pulled away from me his forehead on mine, fingers laced with mine.

"I'm sorry Danica" He spoke and he let go of my hands walking away from me leaving me with my thoughts.
