Not Just Friends - T Gephart - Bog

Jared Leighton-Presley, I screwed up, I''m sorry. You were vulnerable and I was supposed to be the good guy. Last thing I ever wanted to do was betray your trust, or worse, hurt you. I should never have even kissed you, let alone . . . yeah, well we both know how that ended. You''re my best friend''s sister for Christ''s sake, what was I even thinking? Clearly, I wasn''t. I''m so mad at myself, I want to break my own legs, save Tibbs the trouble. So yeah, I know this isn''t much of an apology, but I needed to make sure you''re okay. Let me know things are still cool between us or at least, what I can do to make it up to you. And it''s probably for the best if we keep this between just us. I swear on my mother, I''ll never touch you again.


Presley Tibbs-Leighton, not sure who you thought you were with last night, but it wasn''t some vulnerable little girl who needs protecting. I assumed that was pretty clear when I took you to MY bed. Don''t pretend that last night wasn''t exactly what we both wanted. We''ve been flirting with each other for years, and I finally got tired of playing games. As for my brother, he doesn''t and will never have a say in who I invite into my life or body-not his business. But if you''re scared that''s your hang up not mine. So save your apology, and your good intentions, and don''t treat me like I''m a woman who didn''t know what she was doing. Oh, and tell your mother I said hi.
