Dangerously yours

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Walking out with my grocery bags I drop them in the trunk of the car and enter the car to drive off.  

As I drive home I ponder on what I’m going to do about this raging s****l attraction between myself and my best friend’s little sister. I can obviously do nothing about it, not only that I’m older than her and would only end up breaking her heart cause she’s so pure and untainted by my darkness but I can’t do that to my best friend. 

He’s been there for always from childhood till now. Surely we had our issues, fought and stuffs but we always made up. I don’t think if I fooled around with his sister he would ever forgive me and I can’t bear to lose my best buddy. 

Moreover, I know Sky deserves someone better than me. She deserves a clean, good, decent young man. Who would provide for her, cater to her every needs and kiss the ground she walks on. She deserves a man that is not broken or has death behind his eyes. 

I call Luke and put it on speaker phone.

"Hey buddy, sorry to bother you by this time I know you’re working on lawyer stuffs." I growl into the phone and clear my throat to speak properly. 

"I want to ask it that offer is still up, the double date? Is that still possible??." I also ask hopefully. 

"Yeah it is, I told you I was going to give you time to think about it and I have also not told Jasmine that you declined the invitation initially."  He says, I can hear shuffling at the back as he speak . 

" Yeah Man. I think it’s better for me to get out more and meet women who might be only in for having a good time. It’s been a while for me."   We always got around to having willing women whenever we went into towns in the army that changed after a while. 

"Tell Jasmine that I would love to come." I say finally. 

"Alright Man. I’ll inform her. See you soon." He says and hangs up. 

I take several deep breaths, this is exactly what I need. I need to release some tension and focus on the project I’m working on.  I need to forget all about the blonde haired temptress. I need to go and meet new people and make friends perhaps that’s what will make me forget all about my buddy’s sister. It is crazy because when I was coming back that nearly didn’t come on my mind. I remember that night many years ago but I have done all my best to put it behind me and I know she has put it behind her too. She didn’t even ask any questions. I don’t know why the fact that she has not brought it up again annoys the s**t out of me. 

Well from now forward, I focus on making myself happy. Something tells me that that’s going to be hard when the only person that’s going to make me happy is forbidden to me.
