“What are you talking about?”

“All the girls you’ve been with. Am I happy about the huge list of people you’ve already gone to third with? No. But I’m not going to stand here being pissed about you getting a million blowjobs before this one. But I am going to be pissed if you’re pissed. You’re such a hypocrite. Who cares if I blew Jacob first?”

Axel just stared at me.

“It wasn’t like that was some grand first you were saving for me. You were so obsessed with stealing all my firsts and you already gave all yours away, Axel.”

“Is that what you think?”

“It’s not what I think. I know you have.”

“You don’t know anything, Scarlett.” He turned and walked out of the row of books.

“Where are you going?!” I ran after him.

“I said I need a minute!”

“Axel...” What the heck was going on? “Axel, stop!”

He spun around. “Did Jacob go down on you before or after I did?”

“What?”

“Did I get that first or did Jacob get that one too?”

“I did that with him after I did it with you.”

Axel just shook his head and stared at one of the bookshelves.

“I don’t understand why you’re upset,” I said. “I saved all my firsts for you and you didn’t save any of yours for me...”

“I saved all of them for you!”

“What? You...” I shook my head.

Axel stepped back toward me. “That was the first time I’ve ever gotten a blowjob.”

I shook my head again. That wasn’t possible. “But all those girls you dated...”

“I only ever made out with them in front of you to make you jealous.”

I opened my mouth and closed it again. “But Gigi just told me a few minutes ago that the two of you made love.”

“Well Gigi’s a manipulative bitch.”

“Who you said you loved.”

“It was all an act to make you jealous! Damn it, Scarlett.” He tried to bury his fingers in his hair again and couldn’t. “I only kissed anyone else because I’d already fucked up that first. I saved everything else for you.”

“I...” WHAT?! “You haven’t had sex with a hundred girls?”

“Why would I have had sex with someone else when I’ve only ever loved you?”

“So that’s a no?”

“Yes it’s a no!”

Axel was a virgin? He’d waited for me? Wait. No. He was lying. I knew he was lying. “But I saw that huge box of condoms in your room.”
