Mike: Okay, my turn. The questions are the same.
Darn.

Mike: Well?
Me: No, I’m…not a…virgin. Sorry. But I do love you. A lot.

Mike just stared at me, that look that said explain please.

Me: It was one time at a party with Chad. I didn’t want to…but he did.

Silence and stares.

Me: Mike I’m sorry. Okay? You have to understand that I had a life, you did too, before we met. Before all of this.

I waved my hands, but then rested them on his shoulders. He still didn’t move.

Me: I love you, okay? So you don’t need to worry about all that other stuff. Mike please talk to me.
Mike: We’ll just stay off that topic for now.
Me: No. If you want to talk about it, now is the time.
Mike: Fine, I wanted to. When I first saw you on the plane, I started thinking about this bet that my friends made. How many girls…in a week. And I wanted to. But not now. Not after all of this mess. I love you too Demi, but I don’t want you like that right now.
Me: Well, that’s all I really wanted to hear.
