Jayla Santiago's POV

I make myself comfortable and I sit on the bed.

I look up at the ceiling and then lay back, taking in the smell of the bed, inhaling deeply.

It even smells like him.

"Jayla?" A voice asks.

I sit up quickly.

Luis.

He stands at the entrance to his room, looking at me quizzically.
I scan my eyes over him slowly, drinking in his appearance.

He looks so good.

His clothes cling to his upper body muscle, defining his outline and the fact that he took his jacket off makes it so much harder not to stare.

"H- How did you get up here?" He asks.

I take out our copy of the house his house keys and dangle it between my thumb and index finger.

His family has a copy of ours and our family has a copy of theirs.

"Why are you here?" He asks me, not budging from where he is standing.

"We gotta talk" I respond simply, standing up from the bed.

He shakes his head.

"There ain't nothing to talk about J." He says shaking his head and walking into the room properly.

"You know there is" I tell him.

"No! There really isn't' he sighs exasperatedly.

"You like me, I like you, but we can't be together because not only am a year older than you, your brother is my best friend!" He tells me.

"You're completely off limits and I can't do this to him!"

I walk up to him and he steps back.

"Jayla, don't" He tells me.

I don't listen.

I wrap my arms around him and lay my face on his chest.

"So you admit that you like me?" I ask with a giggle.

He hums a yes, hugging me back gently.

I look up at him.

"I didn't hear you" I tease.

"I ain't saying it again" he grumbles.

I chuckle.

Oh really?

I kiss his neck.

"You gotta say it again" I say pecking his neck gently.

"Nope" he responds.

"Yes" I say repeating my actions.

"Nah" he responds, but I know he's finding it hard to resist.

I push him up against the door, closing it.

"Admit it" I say, kissing his neck and then biting a little.

He responds with a small groan.

"Okay, yes Jayla!" He growls. "You know I do."

I smirk and look up at him.

He looks at me and then smiles.

But then his smile fades and he pulls away.
