She smiles back. “Ready to go?”
“I’m ready to go anywhere with you. Just say when.”
We hold hands as we leave the room. Wherever we go now, it will always be together.

“You have never been happier,” my friend told me as we sat down to lunch.
And it was true.
I had never been happier before.
I was a girlfriend. Who had a boyfriend.
All that casual stuff was over.
He was mine. I could rub myself all over him every morning.
I could hold him whenever I wanted.
I could be upset and he would always try and make me happy.
I was his.
And he was mine.
And together, we were one.
“But doesn’t he travel a lot?” she asked me. “Won’t you miss him a lot?”
I stopped for a moment.
I had never thought about that.
Was our love strong enough to last the test of distance?
I know it’s weird, but I remember thinking this one question over and over. How far would he go to keep me as his personal slut, forever?

My phone buzzes, and I look to see it’s him.
God, that’s the third time today.
Can’t a guy take a hint?
Reluctantly, I answer. “Hi, Chris. Uh-huh, yeah. I had a nice time, too. No, I’m busy tonight. Sure, maybe another time. Okay, bye.”
I am so sick of dating.
At least three times a week, I’m going out with a different guy, and yeah, you might think I should be happy about it, the interest and everything, but the truth is it’s getting pretty dull.
