CARMEN

I wake up in an unfamiliar position — in someone’s arms, spooned from behind. It only takes me a second to realize that they’re Vasya’s arms. And that is definitely his boner poking against my butt.

I tense, trying to roll away but he holds me to him, still passed out. How did we end up like this? My laptop is on the side table, so one of us put it there. It must have been me since I fall asleep with my laptop in the bed all the time and put it away in a haze.

But how did Vasya get here, spooning me? Admittedly, he’s nice and warm, his broad shoulders and chest enclosing my back, but…the boner.

“Um, Vasya?” I say.

“Nng.”

“We’re cuddling.”

He grunts again and yawns into my hair. It must click moments later because he rolls away from me.

“Shit.” His voice is rough from sleep and his eyes are barely open. “I must have passed out during the movie.”

“It’s okay.” I keep my eyes well above his face. Or at least I try to, because he notices where I’m trying not to look.

He slides a pillow across his lap. “Sorry.”

“It’s okay. I know it’s just a morning thing.”

He rubs his eye with the heel of his hand. “Yeah. A morning thing.”

The way he says it makes me feel like it is definitely not just a morning thing for him. He’s slowly becoming more and more awake, and the more aware he is, the more he realizes what he said and how he said it. Judging by the red flush across his cheeks, he knows it too. That emboldens me, just for a second.

“Is it, though?” I ask.

“Fuck, Carmen.” He sighs and runs a hand over his face, tired beyond physical reasons. “You have to know I’m attracted to you. Physically, I mean.”

“You’re literally tutoring me so I can figure that kind of thing out,” I say, somehow not stumbling over my words despite my heart’s pounding rattling every other organ in my body. “But yeah, I kind of guessed.”

We sit there in a deeply uncomfortable silence. But neither of us is moving. Thoughts rapidly click in my head. Cher and Jas were right — he’s attracted to me. And he’s not going to want a relationship. And we’re friends.

“Can we…” I swallow. “Can we expand the scope of my tutoring? So I’m at least prepared in that way?”

He visibly swallows too, leaning his back against the headboard. “We shouldn’t.”

“But do you want to?” Panic squeezes my throat. How could I make this situation even more awkward?

“I definitely do. But there are so many reasons for us not to that it’s not even funny.” He runs his fingers through his hair, trying to tame it.

“Like what?”

“Like you’ve never done this before. And what if things go wrong between us and things get awkward? And you’re Julien’s sister and he’d fucking murder me if he found out.”

“Ew, gross, Julien will never find out. I don’t even tell him about my boy problems,” I say.
