Kyle felt at peace as he watched the gently falling rain from his window. It had been raining for the past week and while most people were rather unhappy with the prospect of getting wet, cold and living under the darkness of storm clouds he found it rather soothing. It was almost like the rain slowed life a little and he really needed a pause. One of the main problems in his life had been resolved. Latnok was gone but now he almost wished that it was still here because lately the pressure to choose between Amanda and Jessi had been rising steadily.

Most guys would be quite happy with being chased by two girls but that was probably due to ignorance. In reality it was not hot or exciting. It was very uncomfortable. No matter how much he thought about it he just didn't know what to do. He felt for both girls and he didn't want to hurt either one of them. And if that wasn't bad enough the fact that both girls were practically on top of him really made things even more complicated. Sometimes he had trouble sleeping because he couldn't tune out their heartbeats

The only thing he knew was that he had to decide soon. Amanda was getting more as Josh would say hormonal alternating between not talking to him and giving him cold looks to really really warm displays of affection. As for Jessi well he wasn't sure what she would do soon but it was probably best if he never found out

But his ponderings were soon interrupted when he saw Jessi entering his room. For a few seconds he wondered if this was a dream. He even considered pinching himself because the sight before him was quite astounding. Jessi was wearing nothing but a very tight and damp white t-shirt that left little to the imagination and a pair of boxers and Kyle almost stopped breathing at this sight. It became even harder to function once she smiled at him

" I need you to come with me Kyle" she said extending her hand to help him out of the bathtub

"Where?" he finally managed to say when he got out of the tub. He didn't let go of her hand and she didn't try to take it away. The physical contact felt very nice

"To my room" she said smiling again and for a few moments Kyle wondered how his heart found himself in his throat" I have a surprise for you"

Kyle was in a stupor as she led him to her room. Wild ideas kept popping in his head, most of them inspired by conversations with Josh or Declan. He knew that in theory the surprise could mean thousands of things but the damp t-shirt and the perfect toned legs in front of him somehow always directed his mind to only one place. But sure not even Jessi would just…..ok she might but at least not with Nicole and Stephen just a few room away…..

"We have to hurry before Nicole and Stephen are back. They might not approve" she whispered in his ear

And now Kyle almost panicked. What was he going to do? He never imagined that it would happen this way. Wait when did he decide that he would do it? This was not right. He had to clear things with Amanda and ….Jessi's butt was also rather amazing and …..

Kyle shook his head. He tried to focus. Tried to list all the reasons why he couldn't do this. There was Amanda, there were Nicole and Stephen and he couldn't betray their trust and…..Jessi smelled really nice….and no. He couldn't, he shouldn't he……

"Take off your pants" said Jessi when Kyle finally noticed that they had reached Jessi's door.

Kyle was a genius who could express himself with skill that few people posses but all he could manage to respond to this was:

"W….haaa?"

"Come on hurry up" she said flashing him another smile" I think it's about time for us to experience something more normal and wonderful don't you think?" and with that she disappeared inside the room leaving the door invitingly ajar

Now he had to think. This was probably one of key moments of his life and he had to take…oh. He didn't even notice that he had taken his pants off and his hand was already gripping the door handle. He tried to stop himself for a few more moments but the battle of mind versus body was already determined by the image of Jessi's barely clothed body and her captivating smile. Abandoning all attempts at analyzing the situation he entered her room

The sight that greeted him was one that he would cherish till the end of his life. Jessi was seated on the bed and he could clearly see the excitement and eagerness in her eyes. The room was dark so he enhanced his vision until he could make out every detail of her perfect body.. He took a few steps towards her and then…..he felt some wet and cold bump against his leg

Completely bewildered he looked down to see a small wet dog nuzzling his ankles. Kyle turned his utterly confused look to Jessi who was almost bouncing at the spot with excitement. She jumped from the bed scooped up the dog from the floor and handed it to Kyle

"Isn't he cute? He really likes to chew the legs of your pants but I think that this is because he is just so friendly! I found him on the way back home" she said proudly

Kyle looked at the dog in front of him. It was small with ruffled fur and didn't look so much friendly as extremely bored and slightly evil. Now mind you Kyle was a wonderful human being and he loved animals but he was also a teenage boy who had come to this room with certain expectations. And they didn't include a damp dog. So he couldn't really share Jessi' excitement at the moment

"You got a dog? This is a dog ….a damp biting dog that's….a…… surprise" he said trying hard to keep the disappointment from his voice. And he probably got away with it considering Jessi still seemed very excited.

"I got US a puppy" she said smiling widely "It's an integral part of a kid's life. Remember? You said how wonderful it would be to experience the normal things we missed"

And so Kyle spent the rest of the night playing with a damp dog who seemed obsessed with trying to bite his ankles. To say this was the biggest disappointment in his life would be an understatement

I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. I am finally back to writing so hopefully my muse will be strong from now on :)
