I wanted to wake up so bad if it was a dream because I couldn't stand it, but it wasn't.I inhaled deeply, my jaw clenched, and I felt the urge to confront both of them, but I couldn't bring myself to do that.

He looked so hot, and I felt like kissing him. I didn't take a step backwards or forward. I just stood frozen and waited for his reaction. He stood close to me, and I became scared. His eyes were dark, and they bore into mine. I took some steps backwards and continued until my back rested on the door.
