"Thanks for walking me home, Fresh." Cinnamon smiled sheepishly, tucking some of her pale blonde hair behind her ear.
"Oh, it was no issue. Walking alone can be dangerous for a girl, and I'd hate if anything happened to you."
She blushed more. "That's so sweet."
"Well, I should be going now. Goodnight." I started to leave.
"Before you go..." Cinnamon gently grabbed my shirt, pulling me in. She leaned in, trying to kiss me.
I heard a rustle in the nearby bushes, although I knew the foxes were just making noises. But every time I heard a rustle in the bushes or trees, I thought of PJ.
Just the thought of kissing her the way I'd kiss PJ made me sick to my stomach. I quickly pulled back from her, gently pushing her chest as well.
"I-I'm sorry, I can't..." I shook my head, unable to bring myself that low. I already felt regret for going on a date, instead of being there to hold and caress and kiss my PJ.
"Come on, no one'll know." She stepped forward again.
"I said no." I kept her a fair bit away, not wanting to taint my lips with hers after already going too far. "Goodnight, Cinnamon."
"Come on, just a kiss!" she insisted, trying to entice me by playing with her dress. But to me, I just couldn't enjoy a woman's body.
Wether I liked it or not, I was gay. She was a pretty woman, but I didn't like her like that. I could never like her like that.
"I need to go." I didn't know how I sounded to her. Probably how any guy who just realized his sexuality and needed to get home before the guy he loved left would sound.
I turned around and ran for it before she could stop me. Despite my attempts, I got there too late. My room had no one, and the window was wide open.
I tried to text PJ, but it seemed none of my texts were going through. I panicked. I didn't want to go over there, since it was so late and it would be suspicious.
Eventually, I gave up. I turned off the lights and laid in bed, hoping PJ would be at school. I would tell him how I felt, even if the whole world was watching. I couldn't even sleep with my nerves.
'What have you done to me?' I thought. 'You had to make me fall in love wth you.' I teared up. 'Now I need to fix things so we both can stop feeling empty.'
