I sat crossed legged on the rooftop as I stared at Kai's bewildered expression. He looked like I had just confessed to being a serial killer, a psychopathic one at that.
"So let me get this straight" he almost whispered. "You want me to-" I placed a hand over his mouth silencing the next string of words about to come out. "I'm mortified enough already Kai, you don't have to repeat what I said." I groaned lying flat on my back. The cold night air seeped into my bones, causing goosebumps. It was my 18th birthday in a month and I had just asked my best friend to have sex with me as my birthday wish. His facial expression would make me cackle on a different occasion but right now, it made me want to jump of this roof and into a different timeline. "In my defence, I have a solid good reason" I blurted out, trying miserably to salvage what was left of my pride "Humour me little birdie, cos I'm sure as hell ready to listen to the brain behind this crazy wish" Kai teased, pulling me into a sitting position facing him. "Okay, just listen okay, don't go cutting me abruptly" I poked his chest. "First off, you know how picky I am, I honestly don't think anyone's worthy of seeing me naked" Kai snorted. Right in my face. "But I am?" He smirked, cocking his egoistic head to the side. "What did I say about cutting me off Kai?" He did the motion of zipping his lips shut. "You were lucky enough to see my 10 year old invisible breasts, so I count you lightly worthy" I said laughing. Kai's hand shut up like a student signalling to his teacher that he had the answer to a question. " You're insufferable you know?" I chuckled "You may speak" He dramatically unzipped his lips before looking straight at my breasts without shame. My nipples perked up in response to the sudden attention. He smirked. "Kai, my eyes are up here" I squeaked. "I know, I'm just trying to see what exactly is different from the breasts I saw back then" "meh, not much difference" He smirked still looking at my breasts. My hands went over them defensively. "You liar!!" I screamed in embarrassment. He threw his head back in a victory chuckle. "There's definitely a difference you asshole, You just can't see them because I'm wearing a sweater". "Really? My bad. Never noticed." Kai teased. Winking at me. That was the thing with Kai. He'd been an asshole since we were kids, and now he had graduated into being a Playboy and an asshole. A deadly combination for someone as hot as he was. I cleared my throat. "Back to my good reason, or reasons for my wish" "try your best not to interrupt me jerk face" "Fine, list your very good reasons for why you want to fuck me" Kai whispered in my ear, his breath fanning my ear. My face turned crimson red. "Oh my god K! Why'd you say it like that?" I mumbled, looking anywhere but his satisfied face. "It's funny how you want to have sex and can't even stand a little dirty talk birdie" he laughed pointing at my blushed cheeks. "Wren" he called my name with such subtlety. "You want me to sleep with you but you can't even look at me right now" "You know how I feel about all that attention recently, my body's been short circuiting" I laughed awkwardly picking at the hem of my sweater. "That's why I need to get whatever this is out of my system so that I can focus on my finals" I whispered, ashamed. "Hey, look at me". He lifted my face up with my chin, urging me to look at him. He smiled gently, like a mother comforting her child. "You're not short circuiting birdie, you're growing, and your body's changing, needing more attention than you're giving her. That's normal" He cooed staring straight into my soul as usual. That was Kai for you, flirting in one second and mothering his 17 year old in the next. " no one interests me enough to get naked for Kai, but at the same time I just want to be touched, badly, and not by a random dude." I whispered. "You're the only one I can trust to save me from this misery Kai" I chuckled Weakley, poking his chest. "Ovulation sucks, am I right?" He teased caressing my hair. I leaned into his touch, my eyes fluttering close in ecstasy. "You don't know the worst of it" I cooed squeezing out every bit of attention I could get. We stayed like this for a while, curled into each other, breathing in his scent, as he Caressed my hair. "Would you at least think about my ridiculous request?" I whispered into his neck. I could feel him gradually tense up. "Birdie" he groaned. Frustrated that I was asking him for such an impossible thing. Why did I think that he'd jump at the opportunity to sleep with me. He probably classifies it as incest. "I'm sorry I asked, forget about it." I said, frustration hiding my shame. I pulled away from him and on my feet. "Good night Kai" I turned. Going down the outdoor stairs and in through my room window. I flopped on the bed, face down into my pillow and willed the world to go back in time, to save me from my own stupidity. I heard the ladders groan from the weight and then my window slide open. I felt him on my bed, but didn't dare look at him. "Sex is a big deal Wren" I heard him say. "Says the one who's banged half the school" I flung back. He chuckled lightly. "That doesn't make it less of a big deal birdie" "I don't think you thought this through, it was probably your horny ass talking" I sat up abruptly, insulted that he'd think I didn't crack my brain for weeks before having the assurance to tell him. "First of all, I did think this through, I'm not crazy enough to tell my best friend to have sex with me without enough thought. You're the only one I know I care enough to do this with." "Let me spell it out for you Wren" Kai said exasperated and tired of my stubbornness. "You're telling me to kiss you, all tongue and spit, finger you, and by that I mean my finger's gonna be in there, I'll probably have to eat you-" "Kai stop, please stop" I whispered. He may have been making a salient point as to why this was a ridiculous idea but my body thought it was a marvelous one. It yearned to hear more of all he would do to me. "You see, it's sounds crazy to you right?" He said gently "You shouldn't tell a horny girl about all you can to please her and expect her to think it's crazy Kai" I said chuckling awkwardly. He seemed to realise this. "You're disgusting lil birdie" he chortled. "I'm going to leave now, before you jump me" "You're very wise K, my self control and dignity is wearing thin" "How about you think about it this night and get back to me tomorrow when you're less animalistic?" He said ruffling my hair. "Kai Anderson, are you telling me to dream of having sex with you?" I said sarcastically. "You're crazy Wren, you'd regret this when you're sober" he said, leaving through the window. I'm sure I would.Wren’s POVIf feelings had a volume knob, mine got twisted all the way up and then snapped off somewhere around my ribs.I tried to act normal. I really did. I nodded when people talked, laughed when something vaguely sounded like a joke, even unwrapped one of Lucas’s chocolates like I hadn’t just walked back into the group holding Kai’s hand like it had always belonged there.Like it didn’t change everything.But my brain? My brain was a crowded room with too many voices.Kai’s voice, low and steady: Yeah.The way he said it. No hesitation. No shame. Just… truth.And Lucas—quiet now. Not defeated. Not gone. Just watching in that way that made me feel like I was standing under a spotlight I didn’t ask for.I glanced at him once.Big mistake.Because he was already looking at me.Not angry. Not even upset, really. Just… aware. Sharp in a way that made my chest tighten. Like he was recalculating, reshuffling, deciding his next move.And somehow, that made everything worse.Because this
Kai’s POVI knew exactly what Lucas was doing.That was the problem.If it had been random, careless, just him being his usual loud, attention-hungry self, I would’ve ignored it. Would’ve brushed it off like background noise. But it wasn’t random. It wasn’t careless. It was deliberate. Every move he made today had intention stitched into it, clean and precise, like he’d planned it down to the second.The ball.The touch.The note.The roses.The chocolates.Each one landed exactly where it was supposed to.And Wren noticed.That was the part that sat wrong in my chest.Not because she did anything wrong. She didn’t. She wasn’t encouraging him, not really. But she noticed. She reacted. She smiled. And Lucas… he fed off that. I could see it in the way his shoulders straightened just slightly every time her attention shifted toward him, like he was collecting wins in a game I hadn’t agreed to play.But now we were here anyway.Standing in the park just outside school, the air still damp
Lucas’ POVI’d been trying to blend in, laughing with the guys, tossing the ball around like I wasn’t thinking about anything serious. Like school wasn’t a chessboard and I wasn’t three moves behind what was happening between them. But of course, I noticed. I always notice.The subtle way Kai’s eyes followed her hand when she adjusted her sleeve. The small tilt of her head whenever he leaned in slightly. I caught the almost imperceptible shift in her posture—the little pauses, the little sighs, the way she let him occupy space around her. And it was driving me insane.Not that I wanted her. Not like that. At least… not that way. Wren was Wren. Dangerous, brilliant, chaotic, and completely not mine. But right now? I had to stake a claim. Had to remind everyone in the room that I was still part of the picture. That I still had a place in her orbit.And so I waited. Patiently. Or tried to.The ball flew toward me, careless, reckless. I caught it with one hand, spun it slowly, letting it
Kai’s POVI knew that name before I even saw the screen.Lucas.It didn’t matter that she hadn’t said it yet. I felt it. The shift. The way her body went just slightly tense under my hands. The way her breathing changed like something delicate had just been dropped into the middle of the room.And I hated how fast I noticed.Hated how fast I reacted.My hands stayed on her waist.I didn’t even think about moving them.Didn’t want to.She hesitated.Of course she did.Because now there was a choice sitting right there in her palm, glowing back at her.Me.Or him.Not fully. Not yet. But close enough to make my chest tighten.“I should… answer,” she said softly.Careful.Too careful.Like she was trying not to set something off.My jaw tightened before I could stop it.I didn’t like how that sounded.Didn’t like that she felt like she had to tread lightly with me.Still…“Yeah,” I said.Calm.Too calm.“Answer him.”Because I wasn’t going to be that guy.I wasn’t going to cage her.Even
Wren’s POVMy brain was short circuiting every five minutes.I was sitting cross-legged on my bed, textbook open in front of me, staring at the same paragraph for what had to be the fifteenth time.I hadn’t read a single word.Not one.Because all I could think about was—His hand in mine.His mouth on mine.The way he said you’re mine like it was the most obvious thing in the world.“God,” I groaned, dropping my head into my hands. “Get it together, Sinclair.”My phone buzzed beside me.I didn’t even hesitate this time.Kai.My stomach flipped before I even opened it.Kai:You alive?I rolled my eyes, but I was already smiling.Me:Barely. I’ve been trying to read the same page for 20 minutes.Three dots.Fast.Kai:Yeah? What’s it about?I glanced at the book like it might suddenly cooperate.Me:No idea.His response came immediately.Kai: Come over.My heart stuttered again.It was getting ridiculous at this point, I should definitely get checked.Me:Kai…The three dots danced on
Wren’s POVYou'd think that this morning would be celestially different, but it wasn't, no brighter skies, no heavenly orchestra singing or slapping me fir my crazy decisions, considering I had practically lost my mind in Kai’s room last night. Considering his hands had been on me, his mouth on me, his voice in my ear saying things that still made my stomach flip just thinking about them.And his mom.Oh my God.His mom.I dragged a pillow over my face and groaned into it, legs kicking against my bed like I could physically shake the memory out of my body.“Why am I like this?” I muttered into the fabric.Because I went to his house sex crazed, climbed onto his lap, and...I stopped the thought right there.Nope.We were not replaying that. Not at 8:12 in the morning when I still had to function like a normal human being.I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling.My phone buzzed beside me startling my little heart.Stupid. So stupid.I reached for it anyway.Kai.Of course it was
I woke up to the faint smell of something warm. something like vanilla and… was that syrup?I blinked against the sunlight streaming through oddly familiar curtains, my head pounding softly behind my eyes. For a moment, nothing made sense. Then I registered the soft cotton brushing against my thigh
After I had successfully disgraced my country and Beyonce I flopped onto his living room couch and moaned dramatically."My insides are dying.""They’re not." He grabbed the remote and tossed it at me. "But your singing voice might."I lifted my head just in time to see him scroll to a karaoke app
What would you do when you dry humped your best friend into your first climax a couple days ago and he hasn’t stopped looking at you like he’d bang you right there while the teacher’s discussing algebraic equations?You unwillingly go to a party with your childhood hot friend who gives you weird si
I was already out the door when Kai honked the horn of his car. He came out the side of the car and jogged up to me."How's my little birdie today?" He grabbed my bag and opened the car door for me.That was weirdly weird."Who are you and what did you do with my Kai?" I asked, suspiciously staring
