Love or Lust (Christmas romance)
"ahhh!" I screamed before pushing him off the bed. With my heart racing, I clutched my white pillow to my chest even though I was not naked. White pillow? I don't own anything white for obvious reasons.
" Ughh! You're more violent when you're awake." My idiot of a cousin said as he tried massaging his back.
" What are you doing in my bed?" I yelled at him. I know he is family but he is a guy. And I don't like having guys this close to me, alone, in my room.
" In your bed?" he scoffed before adding " check again Kelly."
It was then I noticed I was not in my bed, not in my grandma's, not even in my dad's. It was... Ben's.
No no no! Please don't tell me I....
" Yeah. You sleepwalked to my room" he must have guessed my thoughts when he saw the horrified expression I had on my face.
" I don't sleepwalk." I said stubbornly. I know I did but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of admitting.
The thing was... I started sleepwalking after he relocated to UK. I would always find myself in his room in the morning whenever I stayed at grandma's house. I guessed I missed him that much.
But now he is here, I don't understand how I ever missed him.
He took off his T-shirt. Showing off his drool - worthy body. Instead of finding my way out, what do you think I did? I sat down rooted to the bed, staring at his body. What broke the trance was the cocky smirk on his face.
Trust me. When a guy is cute and he doesn't know, that's very adorable. But when he looks good and he knows, that is the spelling of danger.

Christmas is near! Who is excited? Everyone but Kelechi. After a break up, Christmas excitement is not what she needs. Definitely not her entire dysfunctional family in one place. Especially not her cousin Ben who she is attracted to.
Quick question: When you are attracted to your cousin, is it love or lust?
