I had decided. I had to move on.

Not just emotionally but physically also.

What if my being not physically attracted to Tristian was because I never tried?

'He' was different. With him there was an underlying desire to always touch him, but he started it first. In guise of bad jokes and pats, he touched me and I let him because I loved it even before knowing what love was.

Then somewhere along the way we forgot to take back our hands from the other. I wanted that feeling again. I wanted that with Tristian.

I could do this.

If I could do that with 'him' who was not mine, I could surely do that with my boyfriend.

There was something really troubling Tristian. His work was getting more boring day by day and he was vocal about it.

Poor guy!

I had been hinting I was 'ready'. But Tristian being the gentleman, was waiting for me to make a move, which I had no idea how to.

I thought kissing on lips was a tell-tale sign. Or cuddling to a slightly erotic movie was a sign.

How would I know? The only guy who I was ever with, was kind of in a perpetual need, all the time. I could not look into his eyes for three seconds before he pounced on me and...

This was not about him.

This was about Tristian and I.

My boyfriend and I.

So, I had to make a move.

Mom knew that I had someone in my life and his name was Tristian. Jason had met him once though they could not talk because Jason was here for business, and he could not stay for long without 'him' being so suspicious.

At least the guy at the bar was not Robbie, because if it was him, he would have made some kind of move on me, right?

Right?

Right.

It was not him.

But...

No, not him.

I was not thinking about that anymore.

About Tristian.

I had to do this on my own terms. I sighed.

Tristian was calling and a smile was plastered on my face. He was so charming and knew how to put me on good mood. The only difference between him and Jason was, I kissed Tristian on lips.

"Hey."

"Hi. I am sorry David. Can we skip on the dinner date today?"

"Okay." I was disappointed. This was the first time I was taking him on a date. I ordered a bouquet for him when I went to pick him up. "May I know why?"

"The meeting is going nowhere and we cannot leave until some decision is made, I am getting frustrated." He sighed. "I am sorry, are you sad?"

"Only a bit because I cannot take you out. Some other time then. How about I cook something fancy and we can have a home-date? I will pick you at 8.30? That okay?"

"Precious, I will come to your dorm right away. No need to run back and forth. I have to go now. Like I have told you already, you have done so much for me. See you."
