"Are we bad people?"

I raise a brow as I slip my shirt back on then look back at Billie. She's still naked on the bed, her disheveled hair sticking to her sweaty forehead, and her chest still moving up and down slightly erratically.

"Because of this? No. I don't know what else you got going on though so I can't really answer that," I reply and she chuckles.

"Pass me my shirt?"

I shake my head and grin cheekily. "Nah, I'm enjoying the view."

She gives me an unamused look, "You're so annoying."

"Yet you keep ending up in bed with me," I tease and she rolls her eyes before sitting up to grab her shirt herself.

We're in Maia's guest room, which probably wasn't the smartest idea on our part. After all, Maia is only a few doors down and she's the one who invited me over to spend the night with her, not her best friend. I think we got away with it though, I mean, I managed to keep Billie pretty quiet and Maia was knocked out cold when we left her room anyway.

"Maybe we should stop this," Billie says quietly and I instantly frown while scooting closer to her on the bed.

Fuck, no. I'd go out of my damn mind if I didn't get to kiss Billie. After getting a taste of what it's like to be with her, I'm completely hooked. There's no denying it, this girl drives me crazy in the best way possible.

"Why?"

She gives me another look, "Why the fuck do you think? My best friend is mad into you and I feel like an asshole every time we hook up."

Under any other circumstance, I would have already ended things with Maia. I don't usually stick around with people for this long. As awful as this sounds, the only reason I haven't already ditched Maia is because she puts a barrier between me and Billie. I feel something around Billie that I haven't felt for many people, and I don't like it. I can't let myself fall for her, and messing around with Maia ensures that Billie and I can't do much more than just hook up in secret. Anything more than casually fucking around is a recipe for disaster.

"You're not an asshole, Bil. It's not like Maia's my girlfriend or some shit."

"I know you're not, but she's still into you and I'm fucking you behind her back. She'd hate me if she found out. Now matter how many times we try to convince ourselves otherwise that's still a fact."

"I don't think she's as into me as you think. She knows I'm fucking around with other people, she's chill with it."

Billie raises an eyebrow. "People? Like multiple?"

Honestly, no. Recently I've only really been interested in Billie. I'll flirt back for fun sometimes when someone initiates, but I'm genuinely not at all interested in anything beyond that. Billie is more than enough, and Maia is a way of keeping myself from getting completely attached to her.

Instead of telling her that I just smirk and reply, "I don't kiss and tell."

She rolls her eyes at that and shakes her head, looking genuinely pissed off.

"Aw, are you jealous again?" I ask teasingly and she gives me her famous glare, her blue eyes piercing into me.

"Fuck off, I'm not in the mood for your shit right now."

"I'll take that as a yes."

She scoffs. "As if you didn't admit to being jealous earlier. You were practically foaming at the mouth when you saw me all up on Darius," she replies and I shrug nonchalantly.
