Summary
“So, about yesterday,” MJ started.
Peter's heart nearly jumped through his chest. Was she thinking the same thing he was? “Yeah?”
“Don't read too far into what happened,” she stated plainly. “I was caught up in the moment.”
It almost sounded like she was saying that kissing him wasn't something she meant to do. He didn't exactly know how to feel. He initially felt hurt, but then when he was expecting to feel something else, he still felt hurt. He hid it well, though. “Oh. Oh, yeah. Of course.”
What started off as a conversation meant to clarify where they stood ended with MJ agreeing to go out with Peter. It goes a lot better than he expected it to.

Summary
"No more. Michelle had had enough of her brainpower just evaporating the moment Peter's lips touched hers. She had to put a stop to all of these surprise kisses. But, how?
The answer came to her so quickly, it was startling. She was going to set a trap for him, and then teach him a lesson he would never forget. It was a little concerning that this was the second time she considered trapping Peter as if he was a wanted criminal. He is a wanted criminal, she thought to herself. He stole my heart. God, I wanna fucking puke."
Michelle is probably falling in love with Peter, but is not in love with his habit of kissing her by surprise. So, she concocts a plan to make him see the error of his problematic ways. That plan nearly leads to a life-altering mistake.
