Girly Boy

"i need to tell you something"

Colton

We needed to stop. Before this went too far. I tapped his leg and he caught my hand, giving it a smooch before placing it back in my lap.

"Jackson?" I started timidly
"Hmm?"
"I gotta tell you something can we pull over?"
He turned into the nearest lot. A park. Lots of flowers and a pond.
"What's up Lav?"
I rubbed the back of my neck. My heart was pounding out of my chest. I was sure Jack could hear it.
"It's actually about that... I don't  think I want to be called Laverne anymore,"
"Well what do you want to be called love,"
I melted. Jackson has always been so understanding. Even still I was unbelievably nervous
"I... wanna...I..." he leaned in and pecked my lips. Quick and small but as affectionate as ever.
I breathed in all my worries and let them all go with a single word.
"Colton,"
Jackson blinked "Colton," he repeated. 
"Jack, I'm a boy." I let everything hang in dead air.
Jackson and I have been together since junior year. I would imagine this is quite a shock. Beginning of senior year and I tell him hes been dating a man this entire time. It wouldn't surprise me if he dumped me right now.
"I've been meaning to say something." He started "so if you're a boy I guess that means I'm bi,"
"Does it?"
He blushed and hid his face behind his sweatshirt covered hands
"Iwsbforutldme" he muffled
"Ex squeeze me?" I joked
He leaned over the council and threw his arms around my neck
"I was before you told me," he said into my chestnut hair. "The only difference is now I have a beautiful boyfriend instead of a girlfriend,"

Why was I even worried? I leafed my fingers through his platinum hair, put his sunglasses on his forehead and kissed him slow and sweet. Making sure he felt as loved as he made me feel
