Cursed by love

*Andy´s POV*
It was getting dark. I stopped the car in front of my house. How will I be able to show in front Laurie´s eyes? I started driving again. I went to the adjacent bar to get some drinks. I know it was cowardly, but I couldn´t think right. I felt confusedly and appallingly.

I came back home. I wasn´t drunk at all.
“Hey! She´s sleeping. Nothing´s happened. She is already alright.” I ran upstairs to check her. I quietly walked into the room and knelt by the bed. I patted her face and smiled. It made her awake. She opened those intense blues and gave me a cute smile.
“Hey! I didn´t want to wake you, I´m sorry.” I put aside my hand, but she grabbed it sitting on the bed. “It´s okay. We need to talk.” I climbed on the bed.
“Okay, but I´ll be the first.” She nodded. “I´m sorry I wasn´t here all day for you. I know that you´re feeling sorry for what happened with Katie, so I was talking to her, and she explained me everything. And it´s not your fault.” Maybe her smile fell she was still holding my hand what made me feel sure. “I figured out that she was jealous because she thinks that she loves me, but it´s temporary obsession. And one-sided after all. So, I´m responsible for all that happened. I´m sorry. I am.”
“You don´t have to. Yeah, I thought that, but I´ve never asked either. People can´t affect with who will fall in love.” I raised my head and looked at her. She seemed to be sick. Her lips were light and dried. Her eyes were weird, and she was very pale, but she was still keeping a smile even her body was in pain.
“So aren´t you mad at me?” She laughed placing her head on the soft pillow. “Of course not, silly. I´m very thankful to you because you take care of me.” I stared into her eyes. I wanted to steal her for myself. “Can you stay with me whole night?” She had asked me before she fell asleep.
“Of course, princess.” I lay down next to her and wrapped my arms around her.

*Laurie´s POV*
I woke up in the morning. I turned around. Andy was staring at me the whole time I was sleeping. He shone.
“Good morning. Rough night, huh?"
"How.. do you know?"
"We´ve shared one bed... what means I felt each of your moves, and I also heard you screaming. What were dreaming about?” Andy asked me stroking my hair.
“I´m sorry; I had a nightmare.” He clouded over. “Are you okay?”
“I´m safe with you, my Batman!” He giggled. Then he suddenly sat up. “I must tell you something that I should say you earlier… I love you, Laurie…” I was confused. “Say something, please…”
“I-i´m … I can´t believe it. I thought that …” My voice was skipping.
“Just tell me how you feel about it…” He was looking at me so hopefully. I couldn´t lie to him. That would hurt both of us.
“I-I feel the same way just like you, but I´m scared Andy. I don´t wanna be hurt again.”
“I will never do that to you… I swear.” We stared into each other´s eyes, and he was coming closer to me. I closed my eyes and…
“We can´t. Not yet…” Andy stopped and climbed down the bed.
“Okay, we can wait for it. I´m gonna make breakfast.” I was keeping my eyes closed. I heard Andy left the room, and I breathed out.

The night has come. I was in my bed preparing for sleep while Andy appeared in my bedroom. He stood by the bed. I looked at him. He placed a small soft kiss on my forehead with words Good Night! I watched him walking away. I don´t believe I´ll do it!
“Stay with me another night!” He stopped and turned. “I was waiting when you´ll say it!”
I blushed and smirked. “So expected, huh?” I threw a pillow onto him. He caught it and threw back. After that, he went to take a shower to the bathroom. I didn´t want to stay alone. Since I´ve remembered car crash, I´m dreaming about it. I was lying in bed staring at the ceiling. Then Andy walked in and jumped on my bed placing his head on my arm. He attracted my attention, and I turned my body to him. We were looking at each other. I wanted to kiss him so badly. Then I was going through his sensuous fulfilled lips with my finger. He picked up himself and tilted to me. I bit my lip so hard that blood was pouring down to my mouth.
“Don´t-“ He cut me off. “Why? Don´t you want it?”
“No, I mean I do, but It isn´t right. Tommy, Katie, Juliet.” He was getting sad, and he made off with my face. “You´re feeling guilty.” I took his head into my hands and looked deep into his perfect blues. “If I have to feel guilty I will feel guilty about this.” My pink lips touched his. I felt his breath, his warm, I opened my mouth a little bit, and our tongues met. He brushed it against my tongue. My heart fluttered, and mind swooned. I would love to stay like that forever. I´ve never been kissed that way. His kiss is like a drug I can´t resist. After the kiss, I lay down next to Andy watching him fall asleep. I couldn´t sleep. I felt guilty! Only one kiss could destroy my friendship with Katie and Juliet as well. But can I let him go? Can I leave one thing that´s keeping me above the water?
