Ah, so the usual. Well, I’m glad it’s working for you.

Caleb and I have spent all our free time together. If we aren’t conducting research, we are hanging out like we usually do. It feels natural. Being with him.

But deep down, I know this won’t be enough for me. I’ve started to fall for him. Or maybe I’ve just unlocked something that was always there.

I take a deep breath and try to be real with myself. I’m already in love with him. How could I not? He makes it so hard not to love him.

Convincing him to give us a try will be hard.

Justine

How’s your sexy book going?

JJ

It’s actually going pretty well. So many ideas are just flowing through me.

Justine

I bet they are.

JJ

Yeah…I think you were right.

Justine

You have to be specific since I’m always right.

JJ

You’re also very annoying.

Justine

Respect your elders.

JJ

Not too much now. You are only one year older than me. Relax.

My phone rings and I reluctantly answer the phone knowing she was going to push this.

“Hello?”

“What was I right about?” she pushes.

“That it was a dumb idea,” I admit.

“Ah, you figured out you are in love with him. Finally,” she breathes out.

I hang my head. “I don’t know what to do.”

“You need to step your pussy up and confess. No point in continuing with this charade.” If people think my mouth is bad, they haven’t met my sister.

“What if he doesn’t want me?” I mumble.

She sighs. “You’ll never know if you don’t try. Trust me.”
