“Oh.”

She doesn’t speak for a while and then she says, “I should go.”

“Go?”

She sits up, holding the sheet over her chest like I wasn’t just sucking on her nipples thirty minutes ago.

“What are you doing?” I ask.

“Looking for my clothes.” She’s moving the pillows around.

“Why?” I ask, not bothering to help her.

“Because I’m leaving.”

She grabs my shirt off the nightstand and pulls it over her head. After its on, she gets out of bed and looks around for her clothes.

“You just got here,” I say. “Don’t you want to walk around or go to dinner?”

“No.”

“Juno, I don’t understand. Why are you doing this?”

She snatches her panties off the floor and steps into them. Then she walks over to the chair and grabs her dress.

“I’m going to change,” she says, walking toward the bathroom.

I point to the floor. “Your bra.”

She scoops it up and goes into the bathroom without another word. While she’s gone, I throw on my underwear and pants.

When she walks out of the bathroom, I say, “Can we talk about this?”

She hands me my shirt and I pull it over my head. “Please, Juno.”

She bites her bottom lip and says, “I need to go.”

As she takes a step toward the door, I grab her wrist. “Why?”

“I don’t want to be a booty call.”

I drop her wrist. “A booty call? You came to me. You asked me to kiss you at Christmas. I’m not taking advantage of you. I’m not even pursuing you.”

She huffs. “I know.”

“That came out weird. I’m just saying you aren’t a booty call to me.”

She drags her hands over her face. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come. Have fun on your date. I hope you meet someone nice.”

My jaw drops open as she rushes for the door. “Juno, please.”

She doesn’t wait to hear me out.
