I am stupid how could I think pulling this prank wouldn't affect us. I turn on my side and look at Jace.

"Jace listen I'm sorry about this whole joke and you staying over. I didn't realize that maybe we still feel something for each other." I said.

"Willow I have always had a thing for you. It's always been you and when I saw you again it brought those feelings back." He said.

"If I lived here it would be different. But once the new year hits I will be back in California and you will be here and it would never work." I said.

"Your right but why don't we just live it up while your here. We can be friends right?" He asked.

"That's what we have always been so sure." I laughed.

"We have a joke to pull so let's try and focus on that." He said.

"Agreed," I said getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Before I can shut the bathroom door Jace is right behind me. He shuts the bathroom door and picks me up and puts me on the sink.

"If we are agreeing to just be friends I need to really kiss you and know that nothing is there and I can try to move on with my life." He cups my face and leans in for a kiss.

The kiss is no peck. He kisses me hard on the lips and then lightly brushes my bottom lip with his tongue asking for permission.

As soon as I open my mouth his tongue meets mine and he explores my mouth. I pull him closer and wrap my arms around his neck and grip his hair.

When we break the kiss we just look at each other breathing heavily. "Fuck I don't want to stop. My mind tells me I have to but my body says no to strip you and take you in the shower." He said.

I'm at a loss for words and I've never been so turned on in my life. I want him to fuck my brains out. "Jace that was the best kiss I've ever had but we gotta stop even though my body says no. We can't ruin our friendship because after sex we couldn't go back." I said.

"Your right Willow and Ben is going to kill me. I shouldn't have kissed you like that." He sighs running his fingers through his hair

"Don't be sorry." I smiled and pulled him in for a hug. He hugs me back and wraps me so tight in his arms.

We jump out of our skin when someone pounds on my bedroom door. "Jace you better not be in there with my sister!" Ben yells.

"Oh shit! So you think your dad didn't clue him in?" Jace asks.

"Maybe he's playing it up but we need to get dressed and get out there," I said.

Jace raced out into my bedroom and threw his clothes on and hat and opened the door.

Ben walked in and talked loud. "What the hell are you doing here Jace?" He smirks and winks.

I walk out of the bathroom ready to defend both of us when Ben holds his finger up to his mouth. "Mom is freaking out because she's afraid I'm going to hurt you, Jace."

We all three laugh and I throw my hair up into a bun. "Ben please stop acting like a brute! We are grown and can do whatever we want." I said as I swing open the door.

Mom's eyes are so big and her hand is over her mouth. "I'm sorry Willow I'm so sorry I sent him to your room last night."

We all sit at the table and Ben is playing so good at being mad. "What were you thinking of sleeping with my sister?"

"I'm sorry Ben but we like each other and we can't help it," Jace said.

I wink at dad. "Just lay off Ben we are in love and I can't help it that Jace looks fantastic naked."

Mom drops her cup in the sink and coffee went everywhere. It was quiet for a second and then we all burst out laughing.

"What's so funny Willow Noel?" Mom asks?

"It's a joke mom but that's what you get for nosing in our lives," I said.

"I kept my clothes on Mila," Jace smirks.

"You almost gave me a heart attack! No more meddling for me." She laughs.

"Now can we eat some pancakes and not think about this? My best friend and sister is eww." Ben said.

"But it's ok for you to hook up with my friends in school and then I lost the friends when you dumped them?" I ask.

"Why are you getting so mad Willow?" Ben asked.

"Because it's ok for you Ben that's such a double standard. I lost all my friends because of you!" I shoved my chair back from the table and stomped from the kitchen and went to my bedroom.

Yeah maybe I'm acting like a child but I lost my best friend because of Ben. I haven't spoken to her since the eleventh grade.

There was a knock at my door and I ignored it. My door opened and it was Jace. "Can I come in?"

"Sure, Jace. I'm not mad at you and I'm sorry I stormed off. It just made me realize what I have lost." I sniff.

Jace sits beside me on the bed. "I'm sorry I know this is a touchy subject. You tiptoed around Ben all through school and he wouldn't let you look at boys but he always hit on your friends."

"I lost my best friend because of him. Casey never spoke to me again after he broke her heart. And this between us never went anywhere because of him as well." I said.

"Casey asks about you and her husband is friends with Ben believe it or not." He said.

"That's nice to know. I'm happy for her but that doesn't change what he did." I sigh.

"I know and I'm sorry about that." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder kissing the side of my head.
