Vision of Love
want her. Even though I want her, I can’t handle another heartbreak.
    “Mmmm yes Nicholas. I think of you touching me, making me moan your name.” Holy shit. I’m about to take her no w until tomorrow morning. I’ll make sure she doesn’t forget my name and every time she moves she’ll think of me and remember our time together.
    She takes my hand and kisses it, sucking my index finger. Her tongue swirls and I swear I’m about to fucking c ome. “You’re such an ass,” she laughs pushing me away. “I’m going to bed! Have fun tonight,” she winks staring down at my hard fucking cock.
    “You’re pure evil.”
    “I know!” She laughs skipping to her room.
    Great what the hell am I supposed to do with this thing now? I groan in frustration thinking about anything else except the damn girl I can’t get out of my head. I check the fridge for something to eat and see a plate with foil over it and a note on top.
    Nicholas,
    Saved you pasta with Italian sausage. Emma said this is your favorite dish. Hope you love it!
    Karly
    “Wow,” I mumble. This girl is amazing, feisty and a tease, but pretty amazing. I heat the food up in the microwave, grab a beer and settle on the couch watching the news.
    My damn hard on finally calmed the fuck down. It’s the first time in my life that I almost came in my pants with just a little teasing.
    I pull out my phone and send her a text. I know she’s not sleeping yet.
    Me: I know you aren’t sleeping yet
    I wait for her response and get anxious. I can’t help but smile when I feel my phone vibrate.
    Karly: Yeah I am ;)
    Me: Liar. Thanks for being a tease…Is that your second job?
    Karly: Well, you were being rude and you’re welcome ;) Relieve yourself yet?
    Me: No, I’m waiting for you to help ;)
    I relax on the couch and wait for her response. This is going to be good. She takes my shit and throws it right back at me. My kind of girl.
    Karly: You can’t handle me
    My eyes nearly pop out of my head.
    Me: Oh yeah? Why don’t you come out here and show me
    I press send again, pleased with my response. I laugh thinking about her facial expression and how flustered she must feel.
    Karly: We’ll wake up Alexis and Emma…Plus you should stay away from me
    Me: It’s the other way around...You should stay away from me...
    She doesn’t text back. I’m not sure if the conversation is still on the same level anymore. I’m right when I tell her she needs to stay away from me, even though I don’t want her to, it’s better this way for the both of us.
    I hear the door open and see Karly coming down the hallway in her shorts and a zip up hoodie. Her hood’s up and she’s yawning. She settles on the cushion next to me eyeing the empty plate of food.
    “Was it good?” I nod. “What do you mean I should stay away from you?”
    I run my hand through my hair. “I have a lot going on right now,” I mutter, not being able to face her.
    “Oh I see.” I hear the hurt in her voice.
    I knew I shouldn’t have kissed her the other night but it was hard not to. She reaches a part of me that I’ve kept away for so long. She does something to me and as badly as I want her, I can’t take away her innocence. I’m not meant to be with anyone. I don’t want to fall in love again. I refuse to trust another woman, but she touches the part of me that I’ve kept hidden for a long time. How can I let her in when I don’t know how?
    “ This shouldn’t have happened; kissing you and taking you out. We need to be friends. That’s all I can handle right now and I hope you can understand that.” It breaks my heart saying these words to her.
    I can see the hurt she’s feeling all over her face. She straightens her back and gets up from the couch. “Okay friends. That’s fine. I’m going to bed. See you tomorrow.” Before I say anything else, she’s gone.

    The rest of the week goes by and I’ve been staying at work late, avoiding Karly. We haven’t talked much, just
