Clove wandered around aimlessly through the rows of books while Marvel trailed beside her. She didn't want to be here, just like yesterday when she didn't want to be outside. She only wished to be back home by herself. But Marvel was forcing her to go out and, even though his attentions were good, she hated him for it.

"Just pick out one book, Clove. Or a few if you want." He encouraged.

"I don't know what to read. I like all the books back home."

"Well, what was your favorite? One that you liked reading over and over."

"Um, this one genre I did enjoy."

"What's the name? We can find more stories written about it." He said excitedly.

Clove gulped before she quickly jogged up to the counter and asked the lady a question. Before Marvel could hear what was being said, the librarian had already picked out five books for Clove and rang them up. Clove paid quickly and ran outside with her bag of books.

"What did you get?" Marvel asked, trying to peak in the bag.

"Nothing!" Clove snapped and pulled her items away.

"Alright?"

"Can we go home now?" she asked pleadingly.

"Um, yeah." He nodded confused and walked back to his house with her.

Clove had once again locked herself in his room, reading her books until dawn when he came in to say goodnight. Her eyes were skimming down the lines fast and she read with her mouth agape. He watched in amusement and tried to read the title of the book she held. He only caught the words getting and single. The words made him think about if she was reading to find out how to break it off with him. Just then Clove's book slammed shut and her eyes widened as she hid it under the pillow.

"What are you doing?"

"Just came up to say goodnight."

"Oh, well, night." She said nervously, glancing down at the pillow.

"What's wrong, Clove?" Marvel asked carefully as he approached her, keeping his eyes on her pillow.

"Nothing is wrong, I just want read my book that's it."

"No, Clove, let me see." He said gently, reaching for the pillow.

"Marvel please, just go." She whimpered with tears rimming her eyes.

"I just want to know what you got."

"It's personal!"

"Clove we are supposed to be having a relationship, we need to be honest!"

"It won't affect anything if I just keep it a secret!"

"What are you keeping a secret from me?"

"Nothing important!" Clove cried, her grip on the pillow loosening enough to let Marvel pull it off and read the cover of the book.

"Clove?" Marvel asked in shock.

She turned away from him as she cried, completely embarrassed and ashamed.

"Clove? Why do you have this?"

"I- I…," she gasped, "I don't know!"

"Do you…, do you masturbate or something?"

"Sometimes." she whimpered.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about." He laughed, trying to make her feel better.

"I'm not supposed to!"

"What do you mean? I've done it."

"Yeah, it's okay for guys to, but my mother said girls are never supposed to touch themselves like that!"

"Clove, I don't care. It's natural."

"You don't get it!"

"Then explain it to me!"

"I can't it's weird!"

"Clove please." He begged, pulling her back into him. "Just talk to me for once."

Clove's sobs continued for a few minutes until she had finally calmed herself down. Then it took her a matter of minutes to start falling asleep, but Marvel need to talk to her about this.

"Clove? Don't go to sleep, I need to talk to you. Tell me."

Clove sniffled quick. "I don't even know you, but when I get close to you, I get impure thoughts and it helps."

"Clove, don't cry about it." He whined, pulling her closer to him. "I'm fine with you doing that."

"I know, but I'm not supposed to."

"Clove, it's alright. It's normal and you have no reason to be upset with yourself."

"I just feel bad when I do it."

"Isn't it supposed to make you feel better?" Marvel joked, and for the first time Clove giggled a bit with him.

"Well, I haven't really gotten it down yet. That's why I wanted to new books."

Marvel nodded, reaching over to pick up her manual. "So, what does this book like tell you?"

"Um, positions to try, things that will help get you in the mood, movements to do."

"Sounds informative."

"Yeah, I think I'll get it one day."

"Sure, and if you ever need help, I'm here for you." He winked and grinned pervertedly before getting up off the bed and leaving.

Once again Marvel woke up to Clove making breakfast, a little more cheerily. He took a seat at the little table as she served him his food and sat down to eat with him.

"Well, you seem to be in really high spirits." He commented.

"Yeah, last night helped me. It was nice to talk to you about my feelings."

"Yeah, and I'm sorry…., I didn't realize how my handsomeness affected you." He said cockily.

"Yeah whatever." She laughed, throwing a piece of toast at him.

"So, I have to work a little late today and tomorrow but I also have a longer lunch break. Would you care to join me?"

"What for lunch?"

"Yeah, it'd be nice to get out of the house and have a romantic dinner."

"You know I still haven't decided that I want to stay with you." She said grimly.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't show you a good time." Marvel shrugged smiling. "So what do ya say? 11:30?"

"Well, it would be nice to have a professionally cooked meal. You're on."

"See you then." Marvel nodded, kissing the top of her head as he left.
