642Please respect copyright.PENANAYEORKVRzxH
642Please respect copyright.PENANA6XgscP3OgD
This is the best example of pathetic fallacy; the rain mirroring my dark mood. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAJAzndWoqJl
642Please respect copyright.PENANAOZduvY7adb
642Please respect copyright.PENANA4vufs35tgZ

My snoring wakes me in the early morning — it's still dark, I can't see shit. The rain is beating mercilessly against the rooftop — still not as loud as my snoring — and I can hear thunder, and see the flash of lightning outside.642Please respect copyright.PENANAnGWiqiXBvh
642Please respect copyright.PENANAv8P382Xk6l

Wait, why the hell is it dark? I never turned off the light.642Please respect copyright.PENANA4hztRUjRDC

Of course.642Please respect copyright.PENANAKglw0vcrTU

I can feel the irritation seeping into my veins, making me more and more awake by the minute. 642Please respect copyright.PENANA5H6QWlqFFa
642Please respect copyright.PENANA2GWddmAKjr
642Please respect copyright.PENANA9Eers3Aza8
But honestly, I should have seen this coming. This guy has had weird vibes from the start.642Please respect copyright.PENANAqGjkQnNisp
642Please respect copyright.PENANACa19VSaaLB

A little harder.642Please respect copyright.PENANADaWQvNHiS6
642Please respect copyright.PENANA0aCtlMDbx4
642Please respect copyright.PENANApqAGFnZTpz
And when I get irritated, I feel out his face, and cover his mouth and close his nose at the same time.642Please respect copyright.PENANAjPCCVk6fc8
642Please respect copyright.PENANA6sFQFazMwj
642Please respect copyright.PENANA0SB9Lc6Wpv
He wakes up instantly.642Please respect copyright.PENANABvzuapTqIC
642Please respect copyright.PENANAB0z3j0qbov
642Please respect copyright.PENANAaEkrvOEWBn
"What the fuck," he hisses into the darkness.642Please respect copyright.PENANA0MXqe0gkxK

642Please respect copyright.PENANAXTNIDqhRHq
642Please respect copyright.PENANAXP8rs1j6MU

He stares at me, as if waiting for me to go batshit on him, but all I do is sigh, and in turn he lets out a sigh of relief.642Please respect copyright.PENANAt6tGRDujGm
642Please respect copyright.PENANAz1sbgtSR46

642Please respect copyright.PENANAqoPU4VjKll

642Please respect copyright.PENANAVG3UZLLY79
642Please respect copyright.PENANATxr376Fmkt
I ignore the way that my body tingles at that compliment, and turn to see him pointing his chin to a cupboard that is a part of the base of the kitchen island.642Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cgl6UvXGh
642Please respect copyright.PENANAa0deeINqAu
642Please respect copyright.PENANAdIZZ01q75L

642Please respect copyright.PENANAu7NlHPR4ct
642Please respect copyright.PENANASjV95Eu562

"Thank you."642Please respect copyright.PENANApicH7XtUvq
642Please respect copyright.PENANAPonXzOWDMR
642Please respect copyright.PENANAu5oalEMPt6
We stand in silence, as I sip my water, and he watches me do it.642Please respect copyright.PENANALTjQ3y7ze7
642Please respect copyright.PENANAhFjuVTNXCn
642Please respect copyright.PENANA1nbHjTJdBj
Finally, he breaks the silence.642Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZtbLaI8Dh

642Please respect copyright.PENANA3yAXbFZE2I
642Please respect copyright.PENANAkpnU1ZSJRY
I nearly choke on my water. I don't know what's worse; his confession, or how nonchalantly he says it, as if he's reading the weather.642Please respect copyright.PENANACtRcPdrrxk
642Please respect copyright.PENANABbxEU68OOa

642Please respect copyright.PENANA2l3M0jRcZK
642Please respect copyright.PENANAgx4sGP0l4L
But I can't deny the fact that my nipples perk up under my cotton t-shirt the second he mentions sex.642Please respect copyright.PENANAxsaPwo6jRp
642Please respect copyright.PENANAKETkgVWIxR
642Please respect copyright.PENANAdmLVGJ7p2o

642Please respect copyright.PENANA6nIwwc0iej
642Please respect copyright.PENANAijNO5iBuah
He closes my mouth, grinning at me, wicked intentions in his eyes. Not so nonchalant anymore, I see.642Please respect copyright.PENANAQcPKukr2jP

642Please respect copyright.PENANAr1DIq0Yrih
642Please respect copyright.PENANAOQcaqbwkZn
I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing.642Please respect copyright.PENANAEPDXwtTVXp

642Please respect copyright.PENANAWLwu777xUr
642Please respect copyright.PENANArQPbDzkT1c
"Don't worry, honey," he says, his hot breath brushing against my face, shocking me. When did he get this close? 642Please respect copyright.PENANAkZGL9iAN3L
642Please respect copyright.PENANA8AtXZtXWi2
642Please respect copyright.PENANApnbBHQW5CT

We're eating breakfast — French toast that he made — together at the island in the kitchen, and he's acting as if nothing happened this morning. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAV1yNhre8cc
642Please respect copyright.PENANAVf6GNT06r3
642Please respect copyright.PENANAZsHFDF6aum
After the whole 'I want to fuck you' thing, I didn't stand a chance of going back to sleep. I kept myself busy, ran on the treadmill, masturbated in the shower with the shower head, hell, I watered the plants.642Please respect copyright.PENANAj1vXwjP42R
642Please respect copyright.PENANAll5KYeLBuN
642Please respect copyright.PENANAapUqmDTJup

642Please respect copyright.PENANACJ7O0ZaSbK
642Please respect copyright.PENANAG6Eg4AA9GI
"If we do this — and that's only if ," I say, although we both know that this is basically me handing him my terms of agreement for him to sign, "we both get tested, we prove to each other that we're clean, and you have to promise me that if necessary, you'll pay for my abortion."642Please respect copyright.PENANAFeYTRTtLlZ
