I fucked up. I don't know why I made a stupid joke like that. I just felt natural with her, I didn't think about what I was saying or how it would come off. But I know I've upset her, and I can probably bet why. But as much as I don't want her to be right, she is. What right do we really have to each other's business or our pasts for that matter?
Unless we can establish some boundaries between us, but otherwise, all we truly are to each other is strangers. But it doesn't feel like that. Not one bit. And with the acceptance of our date this Friday, I'd like to potentially talk about more than whatever this can be considered. I want to learn more and feelobligatedto the girl. Is that crazy? Yeah, maybe. But I've never been so clear about a decision in my life.

Hey, good morning. I hope you slept well.
Good morning.
I can't wait for our date tomorrow.
Me neither.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
I worried I might have upset you with something I said last night.
Okay, you're right. It's not fair of me to hold anything against you.
What is it?
What you said… I have been cheated on.
Shit. I'm sorry, Weslyn. I kind of figured that's what it was.
Don't be. It wasn't even a serious relationship, I guess it just stung a little more than I expected.
How long ago was that relationship?
Two years ago. But it's the only relationship I've ever been in.
I can see why it still might hurt. I'm sorry I said something to trigger that.
I'll be more careful with my words.
No. You shouldn't have to be. I want you to be yourself.
But you'll tell me if I ever cross a line or say something that upsets you again?
Of course. Sorry for acting that way.
No need to apologize. Your feelings are valid.
I guess this is new territory for the both of us.
It is but that doesn't mean we can't feel our normal feelings. And you have the right to feel upset if something makes you upset.
Well, thank you for understanding.
Always. But for the sake of just understanding… you said you've never been on a date before?
