"Oh my God. If you point at your crotch and say 'my big fat dick,' I'm going to walk out of here right now."
"No. Why would I say that?" he said, laughing. "Really, Rosalie?"
"What? I don't know. I feel like that's the sort of thing guys would say."
"Well, that's not what I'm going to say." He shook his head. I watched as he walked over to the side of the room and picked up a bag. He brought it back to me. "This is for you."
"What is it?" I stared at him in surprise.
"Open it and see."
I opened the bag gingerly and pulled out a large object that was wrapped in gold tissue paper. I unwrapped the tissue paper and looked at the item. It was a stuffed animal ... a dolphin, to be exact.
"There's something else in the bag," he said, smiling.
I looked in the bag again to see what I'd missed. I opened it. And it was a certificate from the World Wildlife Federation, saying, "Thank you for your generous sponsorship, saving the dolphins."
"What's this?" I said, looking up at him.
"I made a donation to the WWF in your name. I remember when we were kids, you said you always wanted to fight to help save the dolphins."
"Wow. You did that for me?" I said, surprised.
"Yeah. Do you like it?"
"I love it. It's so thoughtful."
"I wanted to get you something, and ... Well, I can't get you jewelry or anything crazy because your brother would want to know where it came from. But I thought a cute little stuffed bear and a donation in your name ..."
"Oh my gosh. Oliver, thank you." I stepped forward and gave him a hug and a big kiss on the lips.
"That was really nice. It's really hard for me to be mad at you when you're really nice."
"Hey, I don't want you to be mad at me."
"I know. And I'm sorry if you thought I was pissed off today or acting like an asshole. But what we did in the club, it was kind of risky, and ... well, could you imagine what would've happened if your brother would've caught us?"
I sighed. "No, I can't imagine what would've happened. But I wasn't thinking about him. I was thinking about us. I was thinking about how I wanted to be with you and touch you and kiss you. And ... well, I want to do all those things right now as well."
He grabbed my hands and pulled me toward the bed. "I want to do those things, too. Do you really want us to stop whatever this is?"
"No," I said. "I was only saying that because I was angry and upset."
"Okay," he said, "because I don't want to stop whatever this is either. I know it's complicated. And obviously, it's not going to work like this forever. But for now, can we just try to make do?"
"Okay," I said. "We can."
We leaned back on his bed. I placed my hand on his chest and ran my fingers up and down his happy trail. "You feel so warm," I said.
"So do you." He ran his fingers down the side of my arm and pulled me toward him. He brought me over so that I was resting on his body. I placed my head on his shoulder so that I could look at his face.
"I love the feel of you next to me," he said. He bent his nose to my hair and sniffed. "I love the smell of you. Does that sound creepy?"
"A little," I said, laughing, "but it's okay. I love the smell of you as well."
"So I was thinking that…"
"Yeah?" I said eagerly.
