“So….” She stared, I know where she’s getting at.

“So….” I played with her.

“So…. did you….” She started and stopped. She want to know but don’t want to at the same time.

“Did I sleep around a lot?” I finished for her. She looked and nodded at me. I let out a sigh and cupped her face with both of my hands. I kissed her lips ever so softly, the tip of our nose touching and I can feel the heat from her body. I sensed her eyes on me.

“Did you?” She continued.

“Yeah… I did… I slept around…. a lot…” I continued and raised an eyebrow at her. “But… it was just that, sex… nothing more…” I added, I wasn’t sure if I was making it better for her for she still had the same expression. “I mean… like they know, the girls that I slept with…” I tried. “Uhh… they know its just sex…” I added as I was trying to read her face.

Then she started to laugh at me now. And I didn’t mind it.

“God Shane… relax, I’m just playing with you… I don’t care about your past… as long that you’re with me now…. that’s all that matters.” She’s right, that is all that matters. But I pondered on her words… ‘I don’t care about your past’… does she really?

I let out a sigh and tilt my head back; it was all a big relief. I didn’t want her to be mad at me, not ever.

Suddenly I heard the cracking of the floors downstairs and my instinct was telling me to go to my room and grabbed one of my guns or two. My face changed, my eyes are no longer on my lover anymore, and it was to the door. My arms still out on to the wall… my body stiffened up; suddenly every muscle in my body is working up and tensing.

“Shane was is it?” She asked me, noticing everything in me changed. She didn’t hear the noise that I’m hearing.  I got up and off of her. I placed a finger on my lips, gesturing to her to be quiet. I looked briefly at her and her eyes were scared.
