Mari waved a hand in front of Avery's face. What a space cadet! Mari often felt like Avery frequently was undressing her with his eyes; strange thought, right? He just got this weird, distant look on his face, his eyes holding something Mari didn't really know. She couldn't analyze it.

"Heloooo? Earth to Avery…! Come in, Avery!" Mari said, poking his cheek. The raven-haired boy shook his head.

"Um… I guess it's an okay thing as long as you both love each other…" He said. At least he answered her question.

Mari looked at Avery and kissed his cheek. Taken by surprise, Avery turned his head, Mari's lips slipping onto Avery's. Shock hit the two, noting right away that their lips were locked. Avery's mind switched into fantasy-vision in a hurry.

Avery's Mind.

Lusty moans escaped both Avery's and Mari's lips. Mari's body clad a skimpy PVC lingerie outfit, sweat covering her body. Avery's lips crashed onto Mari's, his tongue slipping into her desperate mouth, his bare chest leaning into hers and pinning her beautiful body against his on the bed. Mari's hands raked against Avery's sweaty back, her nails clawing at his skin in want and need. He so desperately wanted to give in to her…

Back to reality!

Avery and Mari pulled apart quickly, looking at each other in bewilderment. They knew what was going on in each other's minds…

Flashback!

"Avery!!" Mari called, grinning and running down the grassy, lush hill. Daises and lilac covered the hillside in dots of white, yellow, and purple. The wind whipped the limp flowers around, the grass seeing to lunge forward and hug around the beautiful plants. Avery looked up from his place on the base of the hill, looking at Mari. Her hair flew wildly around her face and her black dress threatened to reveal. She giggled and looked down at Avery until she sat down. The wind howled threats as it rocked Mari back and forth. A strong gust mustered up and blew at Mari's back, making her topple over her best friend, Avery grabbing at the small of her back and holding her tight to his chest. The two looked into each other's eyes as both sets of lips locked. A sweet and innocent kiss, none the less…

End of Flashback!

Mari looked at Avery, shaking her head.

"Sorry…" She muttered, trying to sound secure in her own voice and thoughts.

"It's okay. Accidents happen, Mari." Avery said with a weak, fake smile.

"It's just I know you li-" Mari was cut off with a "No problem. Gotta go." from Avery, and that was it.

Mari watched sadly at Avery bounded down the wooden stairs. So much for a calm night.
