I plug my blow dryer into the wall & turn it on. I brush through my hair & have the blow dryer follow. Even though I have thick hair, it only takes 12 minutes for it to dry completely. My hair is now straight. I continue to brush through my hair as my mind begins to wander.

He said "I think I love you". What does he mean he thinks? Does he or does he not? I guess its a start. I'm not saying that he has to love me. But it is confusing. He thinks he loves me.

"Ready?" I hear Joseph ask

"Give me a few more minutes" I reply

He leaves the bathroom & closes the door slightly. I start to put on a thin layer of mascara but it doesn't take long for me to stab myself in the eye.

"Ouch damnit" I hear it escape from my mouth

"You okay in there babe?" Joseph asks

"Yeah..I'm fine" I sigh letting my shoulders sink down

He walks in & sees me slumping my back. He walks over & stands behind me. He brings his arms around my waist & rests his head on my shoulder. He starts to kiss my jawbone.

"Babe what's wrong" he asks in between kisses

I don't reply because I'm too scared to say it.

"Please tell me. Do you not trust me?" He says with another kiss closer to my neck

"I just..never mind" I say

"What? What's bothering you?"

"You think?" I ask

"Think what?"

"You said you think you love me" I say

He releases me & sits down on the toilet seat. He grabs my hands & looks up at me.

"I don't want to say it yet. I don't want to get your hopes up & end up not feeling how I say I do. Yes, I do like you. A lot actually. I just want this to work out" he sighs

"Joseph.."

"Yes?"

I make him stand up. He's a good 8 inches taller than me.

"I don't want you to ever feel like you have to say something to make me stay. I will always be here. If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. Were only just starting" I reassure him

He smiles at me & hugs me tightly. He starts rocking back & forth.

"Thank you babe. You're the best" he says

"No you are" I reply

We let go of each other & stand hand in hand. He's everything I've ever wanted. I don't wanna mess this up.
