This is the best example of pathetic fallacy; the rain mirroring my dark mood. 579Please respect copyright.PENANAdq7PHlzntw
579Please respect copyright.PENANAKHyOu4ZqPx

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.579Please respect copyright.PENANAyMAk8b4AeS

Of course.579Please respect copyright.PENANADYNJZVKZSu

I can feel the irritation seeping into my veins, making me more and more awake by the minute. 579Please respect copyright.PENANApMQkLiiG67
579Please respect copyright.PENANALVtdZ4Juwd
579Please respect copyright.PENANA7aYvReIwCP

And when I get irritated, I feel out his face, and cover his mouth and close his nose at the same time.579Please respect copyright.PENANAOjWD2L1Q0A
579Please respect copyright.PENANAyBZaS11ekL
579Please respect copyright.PENANAkXEenOBLAa

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.579Please respect copyright.PENANAMf7gEleTSu
579Please respect copyright.PENANA44VLq4erx4

579Please respect copyright.PENANAVkTArG4K9w

579Please respect copyright.PENANAwTYX6Y4cEH
579Please respect copyright.PENANAsdgsqXIUMv
Finally, he breaks the silence.579Please respect copyright.PENANA4DpYgIBWb3

579Please respect copyright.PENANAQ54CBliaDI

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.579Please respect copyright.PENANAiJXp11DmiS
579Please respect copyright.PENANAxPaCBMl7I0

579Please respect copyright.PENANA2XHfUTY0BZ
579Please respect copyright.PENANASYTaXtj2r1
But I can't deny the fact that my nipples perk up under my cotton t-shirt the second he mentions sex.579Please respect copyright.PENANAPn8HY7uw5l
579Please respect copyright.PENANAjDek5FGRO4
579Please respect copyright.PENANAhnhWp1yNJQ

579Please respect copyright.PENANAodeHVFsJrY
579Please respect copyright.PENANA1QxCYuC4oF
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.579Please respect copyright.PENANAsMm8Jvo8B7

579Please respect copyright.PENANAFTSz2emv9Q

"Don't worry, honey," he says, his hot breath brushing against my face, shocking me. When did he get this close? 579Please respect copyright.PENANAGQfArxchp9

579Please respect copyright.PENANAvYbpUPgz9b
579Please respect copyright.PENANATVOr66xWan
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.579Please respect copyright.PENANA5jySfTRg4y
579Please respect copyright.PENANAmMzkzj1SSJ

579Please respect copyright.PENANA6hy9nXRRdq
"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."579Please respect copyright.PENANAriu3INIgcl
