waiting

It was no secret that before you and JJ got together, he was the cuts player. He could have any girl he wanted. I mean, why wouldn’t he? Have you not seen him? But once you both got together, he promised to stay loyal to you. He had done it before, but you hadn’t.

You were nervous about doing it, and you never really expressed that to him. You worried he’d think it was unusual, but in reality, he didn’t care. He wasn’t in the relationship because of physical attraction, but because of the emotional attraction he had for you.

Today, you both were in the old bell tower, looking out towards the open water and the cut. The subject was brought up that subject, and he told you about his first time. He mentioned it was with a touron, and he immediately regretted it once it was over. You didn’t want to mention that you had never done it before, but when he asked, you kind of had to.

“I, uh, I’ve never done it...,” you said softly, looking down at your hands. “Whenever that time came, it wasn’t something I was ready for...,” you added.

JJ nodded, understanding that the first time was a big deal. It should be with someone who loves the other person—the way JJ loves you.

“Then, with us, we’ll wait...,” he said softly, bringing his hand to grab yours. He smiled gently as he pushed a few pieces of hair out of your face.
