usual, so she eventually got sick of it and
asked me to choose between her and my job.
Being a freedom
fighter meant too much for me to just throw away. I had run away
from home and left my mum behind for it and the city needed me to
stay protecting them. So I told her there was no way I could give
it up, so we agreed to split. She was devastated and cried a lot,
which I still feel bad about.
I was upset
over it too obviously and fed up with my relationships failing over
the same reason. There’s no way I can let it happen with Starlet.
She’s too special to lose and I’d be heartbroken and devastated if
I ever did.
“ I wish my
first time had been with you instead,” I admit, staring into her
eyes.
She smiles at
me lovingly.
“ At least our
first time doesn’t have to be really awkward since I know what to
do,” I say, thinking of the good side.
I feel kind of
relieved that I have some experience and know a few things she’d
like me to do. The first time I did it, I was nervous as well as
excited, thinking of what to do and hoping I’d put it in the right
place. Yet with Starlet I won’t have to worry and just get to enjoy
it.
“ I suppose so,”
she agrees.
“ I promise I
won’t try and have sex with you until you say you’re ready,” I tell
her. “I don’t wanna make you feel pressured into it.”
“ Thanks,” she
snuggles up to me. “I was scared that you wouldn’t want to
wait…”
“ Star, I’m not
that kinda guy,” I reassure her. “I’m not just with you for that. I
care about you and I’m okay with waiting.”
“ I’m happy you
will,” she kisses me. “We’ve only been together six weeks
anyway…it’s just too soon for me yet. Maybe once we’ve been
together a bit longer I’ll see if I feel it’s the right
time.”
“ Okay,” I
agree. “So I guess we can still have our make out sessions until
then?”
She grins at my
sexy smirk, “yeah we can.”
I lean close
and kiss her again and we spend the rest of the night making out
while watching TV and talking.
“ I’ve never
felt this close to anyone else before,” she tells me, happily
snuggled up in my arms. “It’s cool how we can talk about anything.
When I’m in your arms it just feels so perfect.”
I smile, loving
how she seems to fit in my arms as if she’s always meant to be
there. I stroke her hair while she’s resting her head on my
chest.
“ Yeah, it’s the
same for me too,” I reply. “I didn’t know what love really was
until I met you. I thought just having a girlfriend you felt
attracted to and cared about was love, but what I feel for you is
way more than that.”
“ I’ve never
been in love until now either,” she says. “We’re really lucky to
have something this special, aren’t we?”
“ Yeah, we are.
I never want to lose you, Star. You’re the best thing that’s ever
happened to me.”
She strokes my
face and stares into my eyes, “you’re the best thing that’s
happened to me too. I’m so lucky you chose me to be your
girl.”
We share a long
kiss and then I hold her in my arms for a long time, feeling her
close to me. When I finally look down at her she’s drifted off to
sleep with a cute smile on her face. I smile too and rest back on
my pillow, eventually shutting my eyes and drifting off to
sleep.

“ Rickie?” I
hear Starlet say, shaking me gently.
I open my eyes
a little, waking up from my sleep, “Hey,” I greet her, still tired
and half asleep.
“ I’m sorry I
fell asleep,” she apologises, looking guiltily and
embarrassed.
I suddenly
remember what happened last night and smile, “It’s cool. I didn’t
want to wake you up ‘cause you looked so sweet.”
I feel so
amazing waking up next to her. I can’t help getting more excited at
how hot she looks with messed-up hair and creased
clothes.
“ You don’t mind
that I slept with you?” I ask. “I was gonna sleep on the sofa but I
guess I passed out.”
“ No,
