when heaven and hell meet

"Hmm," she began. "Impurities like, drugs, alcoholism, adultery, coveting, dishonesty, etcetera."

I nodded my head and made a mental checklist of the things I had done on that list. I scratched the back of my head and avoided eye contact with her.

"Oh and the most important one I can't forget," she said. "Fornication."

"What's that?" I asked.

Her face rose to a blush and a beautiful red color stained her cheeks. Her blue eyes widened at my question and she cleared her throat.

"Having... relations with another person you are not married to."

Relations? Oh she means sex...

I'd had some "relations" with girls that I didn't even bother keeping count. The way she danced around the word led me to know that it was an uncomfortable topic for her.

"So what? Am I supposed to abstain from stuff like that?"

She nodded her head quickly and I clicked my tongue to the roof of my mouth. What Kate didn't know was that I was having "relations" with Luci about two hours prior.

My heart swelled reminiscing on what I had done to her. I subconsciously chewed the inside of my cheek when I remembered how flustered she had gotten. Her thighs had been pressed together tightly and her skin was so smooth.

Her whimpers replayed in my ear like a scratched CD. They were addictive and I couldn't help but want to hear them again.

I'm definitely doing that again with her, regardless of the whole "impurities" thing.

"Saint?"

Kate's soft voice snapped me from my thoughts. "Your face is really red. Are you okay?"

"Yeah- yes I'm fine. Perfect even," I lied.

Her eyes glanced over my face in suspicion but she shrugged to herself instead. Unlocking the car, we both got out and headed inside my house.

When I opened the door, Charlotte was at the dining table with my brother. They were both sitting quietly doing homework. She turned her head and her eyes widened when she saw Kate behind me.

"Who's this?" Charlotte asked. "No wait where's Luci?"

"She's at work," I replied. "Is mom home yet?"

Charlotte shook her head and glared at Kate. Meanwhile my brother Jayden was ogling her.

"Guys this is Kate," I explained. "She might be staying with us for awhile."

Charlotte crossed her arms and her and Jayden exchanged looks.

"Why?" she asked.

I grabbed Kate's arm and dragged her up the stairs with me. "I'll explain later," I called out.

We reached my room door and I opened it slowly. The books Luci had used were stacked neatly on my desk. My gold rings were spread around my bedside table and my black tie laid on my bed. The bed sheets were ruffled and my book was on one of my pillows.

I pulled out my desk chair and offered Kate a seat. She sat down in the chair and swiveled in it.

"This is your room?" she asked.

I nodded and watched as she looked around.
"It's nice."

I stood at the edge of my bed in silence and she averted her gaze from me. I wasn't sure what to say so I stuffed my hand in my pockets and clicked my tongue.
