"Are you sure?" She asked, pushing me against the wall. I couldn't think straight but managed to get a "yes" out. We kept kissing for a while, our tongues twirling around. God, what an amazing kisser Joanna is. I remembered our first kiss, the kiss that made me fall for her. This was similar, she still tasted the same, she still had the same soft lips that made me fall for her after our first kiss.Yet this was different. A whole new level of passionate. No one was watching us, it wasn't a dare in a game, it didn't have to stop soon after. 

We didn't end it there. I hope Jake couldn't hear it. She pushed me onto the bed, laying down on top of me, never breaking the kiss. It was an intense feeling but oh what a good one.

Jo knew exactly what she was doing, I was rather new to all of this.

Slowly she pulled my top of, leaving me in just my bra. For a second I was unsure whether I wanted this to go that far, then again I did want it and what a way to end my 21st birthday.

I regret nothing, this night with Jo was one of the most intense things I ever experienced and made me feel a lot of new things.

Jakes POV:

Alicia may think I am, but I am not stupid. I pick up on clues. I realized how much those two enjoyed the kiss at the party. It was obvious. I am not surprised Joanna was into it, she told me before that she kind of thinks my sister is cute. At first it was a little weird hearing my best friend talk about my little sister like that, like she really wants her but I got used to it. I knew that Alicia was into girls as well, yet I never thought she would be interested in Jo. On the contrary even, she always (even if silently) complained whenever she was over. There was some girl drama from years ago that apperantely played into it, I always thought they should get over it by now. It did not even involve Alicia directly, just her friend Nina! And yes I felt bad for Nina, but if a relationship breaks that easily, it just wasn't meant to be. Not necessarily Joannas fault. So yeah, I did not see the whole Jo and Alicia thing coming, but I definietely noticed it happening. Jo wouldn't have kissed Alicia like that at our party, if she wasn't still, at least partly interested. And Alicia enjoyed it. The next morning she was hungover af. But there was something else. Confusion. Alicia may think I am unable to read her, I am absolutely not though. We were always close, grown up together, almost like twins. I KNOW what she is thinking. Plus the way she was eye-fucking Joanna, it was very obvious. She barely stopped eyeing her, checking her out every chance she got. It was so obvious that even Jo caught onto it. Jo, who for years thought she had no chance with Alicia, noticed the attraction. And she acted on it, when they went into my sisters room together. They sure has well weren't talking in there. I just hope this whole thing goes well. I love them both, I don't want either of them to be heartbroken. Or having to pick sides.

Gosh, girls, you could really be a little more quiet. I know that you are having sex, I don't need to hear it. 

Jo left in the middle of the night, not wanting to stay there for my family to see her the next morning. That would be awkward as hell. Not that my parents would freak out or anything, I am 21 after all and they know and like Jo, but still. No. 

In college I did not see her at all. She did not cross my path, we usually don't have classes in the same building. I thought about looking for her, or asking Jake, I was scared though. Wouldn't it be weird? Like where exactly are we now, do we go back to being aquintances, do we become friends, are we going to have...going to do certain good-feelings again? I did not go looking for her, I did not text her or ask Jake about her. Doesn't mean she wasn't on my mind though. 

What will things be like? When will we see each other next, what if our paths don't cross any time soon?

A few days later she came over to our house. I did not see that coming, and I wasn't prepared either wearing only an old, washed out shirt and yoga pants. The entire time Jake was there, so we couldn't kiss or talk about anything that happened. I guess we pretended to be friends.

It wasn't until much later that Jake excused himself to get ready for his basketball training. I bet Jo knew he had that on Fridays.

"There we are again" Jo said when we were standing in my room, facing each other. She did not waste any more time, leaned down and started kissing me. Another heated make-out session began.

"I noticed you seem to be close to Jo now" Jake noted. "She's nice" I vaguely said, hoping he'd let it go. Well obviously he didn't. He is my brother after all. "Okay,okay. I have a crush on her" I admitted. "I knew it!" He exclaimed. "I think she likes you back" He added. "You sure?" I asked. I am getting mixed signals from Jo. On the one hand she keeps purposely making me nervous and then she made out with me, yet it might be that she just enjoys the sex rather than actual feelings for me. Maybe I am just some girl that's avaiable. Maybe she'd rather have someone to make out with rather than a girlfriend. Friends with benefits, maybe that's what she is looking for? Or worse: What if she is just playing around with me? Because she noticed what she makes me feel?

"You won't know until you ask her" Jake told me and he was right. I had to ask.

Looking back it was so obvious Jake knew more than I did here. Thanks, Jake, for giving me the courage I lacked and softly pushing me to ask Joanna out without spilling her secret feelings.

And omg I was so wrong about Joanna! I really had no idea about what kind of person she is. 

This is kind of a little offtopic too but girls (and boys) don't be afraid to make your move! Jo and I have both been, especially her in the past, and it gets in the way of so many beautiful things. It won't always end as glorious as it did for us, but if you never try, you never know. Hopefully this was the little push you needed to ask your crush our or flirt with them. 

That's a little piece of advice from me and Joanna, similar to the one I received from my older brother when I needed it. 

I knew where abouts she has most of her courses, so I managed to find her in the college building. "Do you want to hang out tonight?" I asked. "Hang out?" She asked and laughed. I blushed hardcore. Obviously I did not exactly mean hang out. "Yeah" I stated. "Just the two of us hm?" She asked and smirked. "See you tonight" I said, fully knowing she will come.

We were laying next to each other, both breathing heavily from what we just did.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" God, those words were so hard to get out. "Of course" She replied. She smiled at me, the way she always did, I used to think it was so fake but maybe I was wrong all along. "Really?" I asked, getting overly excited. "Cool" I said in an effort to seem cool and chilled rather than freaking out. "Really" She confirmed, laughing at my excitement and kissing me on the lips.

From that moment on I was dating Joanna Miller. My brothers best friend. The girl I hated for dating my best friends boyfriend. Some brunette from a year above me.

One kiss is all it takes
