Thanks, Mrs. I glanced at my alarm clock and said, “An hour and a half. “Need anything while I’m out?”
She smiled back at me, hers much more genuine than mine. Did she actually expect me to stay in the house with her after what I had just heard? Jess relied on me for most of the financial burden of long-distance dating. “Have you been dating someone for the past month while we’ve been in a relationship?”
“We’re not technically dating.”
That was enough of a yes for me. “It was comfortable, though. She was comfortable. I shook my head and said, “Nah dude. She didn’t respond immediately, and then she returned the kiss. Finally, succumbing to the real fact that I would have to bring this session to an end, I crawled up her back and laid several more kisses along the nape of her neck before rolling to the side on my back. “You were going to ask me?”
“To marry me, yeah,” I said, donning my socks and shoes.
