“I would never think that.You can be honest with me.”
“I’m not saying anything else about his poetry.”
“Has he messaged you?”
“Let me check.”She stepped away, and I was sad at the loss of her touch against my skin.“He hasn’t.”She didn’t sound upset, and I smiled.
“I suppose he’ll message you tomorrow.”
“Maybe.He said he’s gone to meditate, and sometimes I don’t hear from him for like a week when he meditates.”
“A week?And you’re okay with that?”
She shrugged.“It’s fine.”
“And you’re thinking of going to India with this guy?”
“I’ve always wanted to go to India.”She shrugged.“I think it would be fun, and I really respect and admire the fact that he’s waited for me.”
“For what?For sex?”
“Yeah.Most guys, they just want you right away.”
“Are you talking about me?”I try to smile, and she put her finger against my lips.
“I mean, I have a feeling that if it was up to you, we would’ve had sex already.”
“And would you have been upset at that?”I stared into her hazel-green eyes, and she gave me a seductive little look.
“I don’t know,” she said.“That’s something we’ll never really know the answer to.”
“Oh yeah?”I grabbed her hand and pulled her down onto the bed next to me.“If you kissed me right now, I wouldn’t say no, Valentina.”
“I’m not going to kiss you.You’re all battered and bruised, and I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Hey, I can take a little pain when there’s pleasure as well.”
“Oh yeah?”She stared into my eyes and touched the side of my face.“Why did you join the fight when …” She paused and chewed down on her lower lip.
“What were you going to say?”
“I don’t want to offend you,” she said quickly.
“You won’t offend me.What were you going to—?”
“I was going to say that you obviously weren’t prepared for that fight at all.”
I started laughing and then touched my forehead.“Please, Valentina, don’t make me laugh.You’re making my head hurt.”
“What?It’s true.”She pressed her lips against my forehead.“I’m not trying to upset you.”
“You’re not upsetting me.I just feel slightly bruised.”
“Oh no.From getting beat up?”
“No, from you crushing my ego.”My lips twitched, and I stared at her.“And let’s just say that I don’t normally fight.My brother Stefano’s the fighter.I just did it to—”
“To what?”she said.
