I let it all out--my mom's date,my dad's conversation,my confusion about it all.Caleb doesn't laugh,he doesn't pull away,he doesn't talk .. He just lets me be me. When I settle down,I lean back and witness the mess I've made on his shirt."I made ur shirt all gross," I say between sniffles. "Forget the shirt.What's going on? I could.nt understand a word you mumbled into my chest." Now I'm half laughing and half crying.
Simone ElkelesWhatโs goinโ on?โ I ask as I take a seat. โObviously not this.โ He tosses me my shirt from last night. โI found it on the floor of the den. Itโs obvious there was some hanky-panky going on.โ Okay, so he knows we fooled around. But at least he didnโt find Kiaraโs bra on top of my shirt. โYeah . . . things kinda got a little heated after you and Mrs. W. left the den last night,โ I tell him.
Simone ElkelesI love you because youโre the only person I want to make love to without any conditions andโand I love that you need me.
