I grinned, pressing my nose to his hair.
“It looks like it's about to rain anyway.”
“If you say so,” he said, glancing up at the clouds suspiciously.
Then, he just squeezed my arms a little tighter against the chill and sighed.
“What a nice way to start the day. I could get used to it.”
I smiled.
“Yeah, me too... It's going to get colder soon though. Would be nicer to just stay in bed together.”
He hummed softly in agreement, looking out at the streaks of pink and yellow as the sun rose closer to the heavy sheet of clouds above.
“I know it should be simple,” he said. “That I should just come out and say it, but it never seems to work out like that.”
I stroked his chest, trying to offer silent comfort. He was in a sticky situation. I knew that. And somehow, standing here with him in my arms, I was even starting to accept it.
“I know it’s a lot,” I said.
He nodded.
“She's so quick to get annoyed with me lately. Either that or she's upset about work—which is where that guys is, right? So maybe it's all connected,” he said softly. “Whenever I start to say it, everything just goes south so quickly.”
He turned enough to look at me, gaze penetrating and honest.
“We don't go near each other anymore,” he said, like a promise. “We're barely even in the same room for more than five minutes. And even if she came on to me, I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't—couldn'twant her, oranyoneother than you.”
My heart melted into a puddle right there.
“Okay,” I said simply. “I believe you.”
He watched me for a moment, to make sure that I did and then nodded, like the matter was settled.
“Today,” he said firmly. “I'll just say it as soon as I see her.Melissa. We're done. I know what you've been doing and I've already moved on.”
I could tell he really meant all this. He cared about what we had. It was so new though that I almost wanted to tell him to slow down, to think about it for his own sake, but the selfish part of me told me to shut up and enjoy it, so I did just that, pressing my lips to his cheek and revelling in the feeling of his stubble on my lips.
For a while, we stood there, enjoying the moment, until the sun did indeed dip behind the clouds and the light show mellowed to a pale glow.
“You heading home to shower before work?” I finally asked.
“I guess so,” he shrugged. “You?”
“No, I have to bus to school. I have a class first period.”
He eyed me dubiously.
“You bussed here?”
“We kind of left my car behind yesterday, remember? We were a bit distracted.”
“I could have picked you up on the way.”
“Well you can drive me back to work to make up for it.”
Still chuckling, he turned around in my arms, pulling my hips against his to feel my still hard cock with a raised brow.
