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 ElkelesThis connection we have isn't going away, it's only getting stronger. Because the more I spend time with her, the closer I want to be.
Simone ElkelesShe looks up at me with those vulnerable eyes. โWhat if it means something?โ She asks. โWhat if it does?โ โPromise me it wonโt mean anything.โ I lean my head back on the couch. โIt wonโt mean anythinโ.โ Arenโt I supposed to be the guy in this scenario, laying down the no-commitment rules? โAnd no tongue,โ she adds. โMi vida, if I kiss you, I guarantee thereโs gonna be tongue.
