I sat up in bed. “I, uh, technically yes.”
“Technically?” He was breathing heavily, looking more upset by the second. “That’s a nice word. How about another one starting with T: Truthfully.”
I swallowed hard. “I didn’t lie, technically—” Oh, boy, the anger on his face showed how much he appreciated that word a second time.
“You withheld information, which is the same damn thing as lying. You, of all people who I could’ve bet my life would never do that to me, and yet you did.”
“It wasn’t intentional, but I knew—”
“Yeah, you fucking knew I wouldn’t have taken your virginity. You knew it, so you lied. I can’t believe it. I thought I felt something when I—Shit—As if sleeping with Brian’s baby sister didn’t already make me an asshole, taking your virginity puts me down a whole other level of a piece of shit. There’s a reason why a guy like me is not with someone innocent, ever. Not even in high school. I’m not that guy.” He scrubbed a hand over his face. “Why the hell haven’t you had sex before?”
My eyes stung with unshed tears. “No one ever made it to the fifth date.” I knew it was lame the minute it left my lips.
His laugh was dry and void of humor. “And why was that? Is this some sort of setup? All along, this was the plan? Pretend you had more experience than you did, hoping I wouldn’t notice?”

He was angrily taking clothes out of his dresser drawers and throwing them on. “You didn’t mean to what?”
“I didn’t mean for it to be a big deal.”
Wrong thing to say. He turned now, fully dressed. “It was a big fucking deal to me, and the fact you didn’t tell me means you knew that it would be.” He slipped on his shoes while refusing to meet my eyes. “I need to get out of here. You can use the car service to get you to and from any appointments you might have over the next few days.”
The tears started while I watched him walk out of the bedroom. Then the sound of the garage door opening with the car starting up seconds later initiated a full-on, ugly cry. Putting my head in my hands, I felt the weight of the world that I’d majorly fucked up.
