“Did you have fun today?” he asked as we took our shoes off. “Yeah. The water was cold, though.” He laughed. “What did you expect? It’s the middle of November. It might be nice outside, but the ocean don’t know that.” He poked me in the side. “You’re lucky I didn’t throw you in the water.” “No, you are.” I would have pulled him in with me. He would never do that. He was too much of a gentleman to act that way. He just tried to be a little like Chad sometimes. It never worked. “The sunset was amazing,” I added. “Yeah, and the movie was better than I expected.” We had gone to see a romantic comedy. Something Chad would never do, but Giovanni went with me to one once. I sighed, thinking about the last few weeks with Noah. We had not had sex yet, but he seemed to enjoy pleasing me and was very good at it.
