This is the best example of pathetic fallacy; the rain mirroring my dark mood. 623Please respect copyright.PENANAG1xuQuHURI
623Please respect copyright.PENANAvRlXv5Z57t

My snoring wakes me in the early morning — it's still dark, I can't see shit. The rain is beating mercilessly against the rooftop — still not as loud as my snoring — and I can hear thunder, and see the flash of lightning outside.623Please respect copyright.PENANAha6nVI6tLG
623Please respect copyright.PENANAP9NuizFzjx

623Please respect copyright.PENANAkEFRxhRu7b
623Please respect copyright.PENANAEEA0rnrwtq

623Please respect copyright.PENANAYjzvR2Brt4

623Please respect copyright.PENANAqVBkpH8HOL
623Please respect copyright.PENANA5BtK0IUvGi

623Please respect copyright.PENANAr9yOekGpJr

623Please respect copyright.PENANAQYiD0oURxQ

I nearly choke on my water. I don't know what's worse; his confession, or how nonchalantly he says it, as if he's reading the weather.623Please respect copyright.PENANAqcIePyydQJ

623Please respect copyright.PENANA0d21WA6rFH
623Please respect copyright.PENANA9bSV2md6nh

623Please respect copyright.PENANALqckLIXmOe
623Please respect copyright.PENANAI42TqmsGdx

I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing.623Please respect copyright.PENANA27yP9Y6azL

We're eating breakfast — French toast that he made — together at the island in the kitchen, and he's acting as if nothing happened this morning. 623Please respect copyright.PENANAW0THXTCisK
623Please respect copyright.PENANAtS4rVlP7q8
623Please respect copyright.PENANAGM4hgu2jr5
After the whole 'I want to fuck you' thing, I didn't stand a chance of going back to sleep. I kept myself busy, ran on the treadmill, masturbated in the shower with the shower head, hell, I watered the plants.623Please respect copyright.PENANA0YBM31f0HU
623Please respect copyright.PENANAsypdtWlOhO

623Please respect copyright.PENANAE4Sn1CSZBH
"If we do this — and that's only if ," I say, although we both know that this is basically me handing him my terms of agreement for him to sign, "we both get tested, we prove to each other that we're clean, and you have to promise me that if necessary, you'll pay for my abortion."623Please respect copyright.PENANAiHY7md3STo
