---Tingles and Two Buff Dudes-02

When we finished eating our food she drove me home and followed me upstairs.

As soon as we reached my room I picked out a grey tee shirt that stops above my belly button and paired it with black and white plaid short shorts before I walked into my bathroom so that I could change.

When I walked out I threw my previously worn clothing in my laundry basket before I turned on my television so that I could find a movie to watch.

I scrolled through Netflix for a couple of minutes before I found a comedic movie.

I look at my phone only to see that it's seven at night which causes me to scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

Where's Charlotte?

She usually would've been up here by now.

I get up off of the bed and make my way downstairs. As I reach the last step I'm able to hear a part of her conversation before she hangs up.

/"Just get it done, okay?/" She asks in an annoyed tone before I hear footsteps making their way towards me.

I barely have time to move when she suddenly stops in front of me with wide eyes.

Her green eyes showed fear and shock.

/"How long have you been standing there?/" She asks cautiously while searching my face which causes me to stay frozen in my spot

/"Not long/" I reply quickly before I walk past her and into the kitchen so that I can grab some snacks for us to eat.

As I try, but fail, to reach a cabinet above the oven I feel Charlotte's lips ghost over the side of my neck which causes my breath to hitch as my body starts to feel tingly

What is this feeling?

I've never felt this before.

/"Need some help?/" She whispers which causes me to nervously bite my lip as I blush

I don't respond since I feel like I might make a weird noise so I just settle for a nod which causes her to smile before before she swiftly reaches up and places two packs of cookies in front of me.

I gulp as her finger tips lightly brush over my arm which causes goosebumps to arise in its wake. She smiles before she turns around and walks out of the kitchen which causes me to release a breath of air I didn't even know I was holding.

What just happened?

And why did my body react that way to her touch?

It's never done that before.

This sickness must be worse than I thought.

I quickly grab the bags of chips along with the cookies before I make my way upstairs.

As I reach my bedroom I see Charlotte laying underneath the blanket as she looks through her phone.

/"I have the snacks/" I say shakily as I put them in between us before climbing into the bed

As soon as I'm settled in a comfortable spot she starts the movie.

During the movie I ended up laying on Charlotte's chest since she said it would be more comfortable than laying on my pillow.

Which proved to be correct.

Halfway through the movie I started to fall asleep as Charlotte traced shapes on my bare hip which caused my breath to hitch as her finger tips sent sparks up my spine

I ignored it as I quickly fell into a deep sleep.

-

I hear a violent knocking on the door downstairs which causes me to jump up out of bed.

Who could that be?

I carefully slip out of Charlotte's arms before I throw on an oversized flannel and make my way downstairs.

/"I'm coming, chill out/" I say as they continue to bang on the door

When I reach the door I quickly unlock it before I open it only to be met with two huge guys dress in all black clothing

What the heck.

/"Who are you?/" I ask in confusion with an emotionless face as I lean against the door frame

I'm too tired to deal with this at three in the morning.

/"We're looking for thunder, is she here?/" One of the dudes asks which causes me to give him a blank stare

/"No, I don't know anyone named thunder/" I state in an obvious tone, hoping that they get the hint and go away

/"We were told that she has been staying here/" the other dude says which causes me to roll my eyes

I'm missing my beauty sleep for this crap?!

/"Look, no one named thunder lives here. So, why don't you get back into your bmw and drive back to where you came from/" I say with an annoyed smile before I slammed the door in their face and turn around only to see Charlotte walk down the stairs while fixing her hair which causes me to blush

Wow, she looks beautiful.

Wait a minute...

I did not just think that about my best friend.

Ugh, I need to see a doctor soon.

/"Aspen?/" Charlotte asks with a smile which causes me look down at the floor so that she can't see my blush intensify

/"Y-Yeah?/" I ask

/"I called your name five times. Are you okay?/" She asks with a laugh

/"Yes, of course I am/" I say as I look up only to see that she's now standing in front of me

/"Do you mind telling me who was at the door?/" She says with a smile as she notices my pink cheeks

/"There were two buff guys dressed in black,/" I say which causes her smile to quickly fall

/"They were looking for someone named thunder/" I say which causes her to stare at me with an emotionless expression

She looks like she wants to punch someone.

/"I have to go, I'll see you at school/" she says before she slips on her shoes which causes me to look at her in confusion

/"Where are you going?/" I ask which causes her to tense before she stands up and walks out the door without responding to me.

What just happened?
