Escape

Chapter 8

“How early in a relationship have you started sleeping with your girlfriends out of curiosity?” I asked him while going off to get pillows and blankets for Peter.

“Usually the 3rd day into the relationship” he said while following where I was going

“Wow, that’s just ummm, wow” I answered

“Not really, all my girlfriends want to get into the bed the first day of the relationship, but I make them wait, then usually I dump them” he also said

“So you have sex with them then soon after you dump them?” I confirm

“Pretty much yeah” he answered

“Why?” I asked him while walking back to the lounge

“Well I’m not sure really” he said

“Yes you do, tell me, I want to know” I said to Peter

“Because like when you do ‘it’ if it’s amazing the love is real and if it’s alright it’s not real, always been alright with me, never has it been amazing, so I dump them to find the amazing” he answered

“You know having sex to find that it’s the real thing doesn’t mean it’s real, they could have just had a lot of practice” I say to him while turning my lounge into a bed for Peter

“Well it’s the way that I work, but you refuse to go into a bed with me, has it been like that with all people?” he asked me

“I’ve never had a boyfriend” I answer him

“Really? Why?” he asks me

“because no one liked me, I have never had friends before I came here and I was bullied and shit happens but they all thought I was the strange girl, no one liked me” I said to him

“But why wouldn't they, you're beautiful, so you’re a virgin?” he asked me

“I’m not beautiful, the rest saw me for who I really am, and yeah I’m a virgin, you got a problem with that?” I answered

“they knew you were beautiful they just wanted to put you down, and it doesn’t bother me you haven’t had sex yet, maybe I could change that” he said to me while finally being able to wrap his arms around my waist from behind, I jumped a little, “omg you creep!” I yell at him while trying to get free of his grip, he started to laugh and let me go.

“Ok so there’s your ‘bed’ for the night if you need me I’ll be in my bed, but you can’t join me you understand?” I warn him

“I like it when you tell me what to do” he said to me, he started biting his lip, it was hard not to start blushing but I eventually got past the urge to kiss him. “Ok baby you go sleep now” he ordered me to do, he then kissed my forehead, I tried to dodge it but I wasn’t quick enough, he laughed as I went back to my room to sleep.

As I wake up from my slumber I am greeted by a pair of blue orbs staring at me and a smile to go with them. “Ugh, get out” I said to the owner of the blue eyes as I grab a pillow and threw it in the direction of the man, hitting his face. He laughed, I kept trying to sleep eventually becoming pissed at the boy still being there and got out of bed

“I made us breakfast” the boy said, now becoming recognisable to me as Peter

“I’m not hungry” I told him

“Tough you’re going to eat it” he answered back with. I walk to the table sit down and start eating; we didn’t say a word to each other while we were having breakfast. I don’t think he likes not talking, but I like silence, it lets me scream. It wasn’t awkward for us; to me it was more comforting than talking.
