"Well, what are you waiting for? Take off those clothes so I can see your perfection." Blake said slyly.
"I didn't say I was going to or not. Honestly I don't know. I really don't want to right now." I looked down.
Blake gave me the evil eye.
"What? Just because I won't strip you're gonna get mad at me?" I snapped.
He shook his head. A tear rolled down his face. "I just think you are so perfect. I just want to see your perfect body."
I frowned. "No please don't cry. I just don't want to strip in front of a guy."
He laughed a little under the tears. "Don't think of it as stripping. Think of it as showing how much you love me. Don't you love me?"
I smiled. "I do love you. But, I don't want to take all of my clothes off."
"Then just take your top off."
I thought about it. "I mean, I guess I can."
He smiled. He turned on some music to "get us in the mood." I looked at my shirt.
"Ready when you are sweetie." Blake said.
I grabbed the hem of my shirt and slowly lifted it up. After I got to my bust, he said to stop. I was just showing my stomach right now.
"Let me take it in."
I looked down. "My stomach?"
He nodded.
After a minute, he said I could continue. I lifted the shirt over my head really fast, exposing my chest. The air was cold when it hit my chest.
I looked at the computer screen. Blake looked stunned.
"Are you okay?" I questioned.
"God I wish I could be with you right now."
"Why?" I asked.
"So I can kiss you. All over. Everywhere."
I laughed. "Maybe one day you can?" I meant it as a joke, but he took it seriously.
He nodded. "You know what? Yeah. One day, we're going to run away with each other. We can fall in love and have a life together."
I grabbed my shirt and slipped it back on.
"Why'd you do that?"
"Because I got cold." I lied. "I need to go."
I clicked the end call button and laid
in bed. I felt uncomfortable with a 22 year old saying we would run away together. I mean, I love him, but I just don't know.
After several minutes of thinking, I fell asleep.
