You were in love with her. You knew your parents wouldn’t approve. They were dead. You two stayed one night together, she invited you, and made love none the less while watching a movie, you wake up on the couch with her clinging on to you both of you still nude.

You can’t love her. You shouldn’t. Your parents want you to find a boy. Not die lonely. Not die loving girls. You only were into girls, you didn’t know what to do.

Tara notices you were awake, “ hey baby. “ she smiles softly, “ you enjoy it? Last night? “ she says her voice so endearing making her stomach flutter. Your parents were shit people so it wouldn’t matter if you… no. You shouldn’t. They’d be disappointed if they were still here.
