Fuck, she needed me.

“Shhh.” he whispers into my head.

I continue watching.

The jester was creepily walking up to her and she lets out another scream before he puts a hand on her mouth.

Was I about to watch my friend get kidnapped or something?

I waited.

Then.

Something unexpected happens.

She moves forward and grabs the mask and shoves it up before kissing the unfamiliar man.

What the fuck?

I watch for a few more seconds as my best friend makes out with a jester.

My own masked man removes his hand from my mouth.

“Oh my.” I whisper out. “Well…..”

I turned back to him.

I wanted to continue where we were before we got interrupted.

I didn’t want to just leave.

Looking back up at him, I hope he can see the need in my eyes.

Then, he just slowly shakes his head.

No?

Was that not good?

Did he not feel the burning spark between us?

“What?”

He just continues to stare down at me.

“Was it not-”

I stopped myself.

I shook my head.

I couldn’t do this to myself.

Embarrassing.

“Oh, I just thought that-”

Embarrassment licks up my entire body.
