Hidden Hearts

Chapter 12. The half-naked girlfriend

The next morning I woke up to the smell of coffee and bacon. Opening my eyes I was at first disoriented, having forgotten where I was sleeping. Then, as the smell of spice wafted in the air I remembered. Kota...

The sound of steps coming up the stairs had me tensing. Was it Kota? His mother? Should I get up now and hide?

"Sweetie? Are you awake?" Asked Kota on his smooth, gentle voice as he came into the room and smiled at me where I was still laying on his bed, my clothes from yesterday on his hands, dried and folded.

Relieved that it was just him and not an angry parent I sat up and stretched, with my eyes closed, a yawn escaping from my lips. Opening my eyes I see Kota looking at me with a strange expression on his face. I wonder what he is thinking about...

It must have been something embarrassing because he flushed beet red.

"Good morning, Kota. Thank you for letting me stay over." I said gratefully. We had been kind of friends in the past, but he had no obligation of lending me his own bed.

Smiling sweetly at me he said. "Good morning. My mother already left for work and Jessica isn't home today. I brought you your clothes, get dressed and let's go down, breakfast is ready."

My insides warmed at his thoughtfulness. Blushing a little I stood up from the bed and took the clothes from his hands putting it on the side table, then, turning back to him I put my hands on his shoulders, leaned in and kissed his cheek.

Leaning back I looked at his flushed face and an old urge came over me. I want to pinch his cheeks! Along with a new one. I wonder if he'd blush even redder if I kissed his lips. Keeping my urges firmly leashed I said "You are so kind, Kota. Thank you for taking care of me."

Smiling down at me while still blushing a little he said, "No worries. I will go down to give you some privacy."

He left the room and I grabbed the clothes and dropped them on the bed. Kota had already said that we were alone in the house and that he'd give me privacy so I didn't bother with going to the bathroom to change and started disrobing in his room.

Undoing the buttons in the shirt I let it on while undoing the ties in the pants, I let them drop to the floor bending down to grab them and put them on the bed when I heard a quiet gasp behind me. Startled I dropped the pants and came face to face with a gaping Luke. We stood frozen there for what felt like hours until the sound of Kota's voice startled us back to attention. "Are you dressed yet, Sang?" he asked from downstairs.

Blushing we both jumped, Luke turned around quickly and practically ran down the stairs, almost tripping on his usually graceful footing. I grabbed my clothes and ran to the bathroom, screaming over my shoulder. "Just a minute!"

......

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! I just checked my brother's girlfriend! Or at least I think she is his girlfriend and not just a one-night stand, because if not then Kota isn't as smart as I thought. That girl is a keeper, all curves and... Stop it Luke!!

I need to go and apologize to them both. Coming down stairs I meet with a horror filled Kota. "Luke? What are you doing here? And what were you doing up there with Sang?"

"Look man, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to... Wait! Did you say Sang?" I asked him startled.

"Yeah, yeah, that's Sang up there, now please tell me you didn't do what I think you did!" He snapped.
