Where was this supposed to be going? Was it revenge or... Well it wasn't Ben's revenge anyway. If he was going to be kissing, he may as well just do a good job of it. And, as he'd sort of expected, he was sort of enjoying it (understatement). The only bad thing he could see coming out of this was that this would be the only kiss he'd ever have with Katie. If that was the case, it had better be good. Memorable.
Except he wasn't sure how to pull that off really. Especially not with his best friend. He let his hand curl into her hair. Had he ever actually touched her hair before? He couldn't remember ever doing that, but it felt like the right thing to do. It also felt nice. So nice, in fact, that when she opened her mouth to his, he had only to hesitate momentarily before letting his tongue slip questioningly past her lips.
