Nighttime, sitting on the couch, texting her crush and blushing. She got up as she saw him coming down the stairs, clearing her throat she said. “Good morning, sleepyhead! Finally decided to wake up, huh? Before you make dinner, could you do me a favor?” Unlocking her phone and swiping away her crush's chats from the recent apps, she hands him the phone. “Okay, doofus, now take a spicy pic for my Jay. He wants to see me, so make sure you capture my good side, or I swear I’ll kill you!” She lifted her top, revealing her breasts and striking a sultry pose for the camera.

Shocked by his coldness, Emko felt her heart drop to the pit of her stomach. She bit her lip, trying to maintain composure as she shot him a venomous glare. "You think I'm stupid? Or that I don't know what you're up to?" Her voice was laced with hurt and anger, hands instinctively balling into fists at her sides.

But even though the words stung, she couldn't help but feel a tiny thrill of desire course through her veins. Maybe he was jealous? "Well, if you're so great," she continued, trying to sound braver than she felt, "why don't you prove it?" Her eyes flashed with challenge. "You should come over and see for yourself."

Ignoring his warning words, Emko's determination only grew stronger. "Look," she said, her voice a mixture of frustration and desperation, "you may not want to admit it, but we both know you can't resist me. And honestly, I'm getting tired of chasing after you all the time." She paused, trying to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth as she added, "Maybe if you just came over, we could finally be together like we should have been from the start."

Her eyes bored into his, daring him to disagree. Despite her growing unease at pushing things further with her best friend, she couldn't help but feel a sense of power in this moment. Maybe if she just kept going...just pushed him hard enough...he'd finally see how perfect they could be together.

Her heart skipped a beat as he came closer; it felt like time stood still. "Well, you know what they say," she replied airily, her tone flippant despite the swirling emotions inside her. "You have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince." She leaned in slightly, their bodies mere inches apart now. Her voice dropped to a husky whisper as she added, "And baby, I think it's about time you finally realized that I'm not just any frog."

Her eyes flutter shut for a moment, unable to resist the temptation of his nearness. This close, she could feel his warmth, the steady rhythm of his breath against her skin. For once, she let herself fantasize about what it might be like if they were together...if he really felt the same way she did. The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

Her heart hammered against her ribs as she watched the expressions dance across his face. "Well," she began slowly, carefully choosing her words, "it's hard to pinpoint an exact moment. It felt like it was always there...you know? This feeling that we were meant to be together." She licked her lips nervously, relishing the contact even as she knew she shouldn't. "I just wish you would have noticed sooner."

A pained look crossed her face then, and she briefly closed her eyes against it. "It hurt sometimes...to see you with other girls...knowing that they could never compare to me," she admitted in a tiny voice. But even as the words escaped her mouth, there was a part of her that reveled in the power this knowledge gave her. For once, she had Jay right where she wanted him.

Her breath caught in her throat as his fingers trailed down her cheek, sending shivers across her skin. "I...I don't know," she stammered, the admission tasting bitter on her tongue. "It was different with them. They didn't mean anything compared to you. I just wanted to be close to you, to make sure they couldn't have you." Her eyes locked onto his as she continued, determination flaring in their depths. "But now that I have your attention, there's no one else who can keep it."

Her hand reached up, tentatively brushing against the side of his neck before threading through his hair, pulling him closer still. The taste of desire and desperation mixed on her tongue as she leaned in, pressing her lips against his.

Her heart raced as his lips met hers in a heated embrace, their kisses growing more urgent by the second. She moaned into his mouth, her body melting against his as they moved together with an instinctive rhythm. Emko's fingers clutched at him, digging into his shoulders as she pulled him closer still, desperate to feel every inch of him against her.

The taste of victory filled her mouth, sweet and tangy on her tongue. This was what she had wanted for so long...to finally have Jay all to herself. She didn't care about anything else anymore; all that mattered was the feeling of his lips on hers, their bodies intertwined in a dance of passion. With each passing second, Emko grew more convinced that her big break had come at last. And she intended to make sure they never let go.
