I don't know when my feelings for Henri changed.
I've always loved him, but this time it feels less innocent. Different. I can't pinpoint an exact moment I realized my feelings had changed. One night, I woke up to wet sheets and my thoughts reeling with the dream of Henri's kisses and gentle touches. Nothing felt the same since - I wondered if his lips were really that soft, his hair really that silky between my fingers. This was the first time I'd ever had feelings for someone, and I didn't know what it was. Was it misplaced gratitude? Debt? Was it infatuation? Or was my love for Henri changing?
"Four!" Henri calls after me one day as I head out of our motel to go get some food. "We need to talk."
I freeze, wondering if he knows my secret - the only secret I've kept from him. "About what?" I ask warily, going back inside and closing the door behind me.
"I noticed that you changed the sheets last night. And I heard you moaning in your sleep," Henri says. My heart sinks. "Do you have a crush on someone?"
I shake my head.
"Four, you know you don't have to lie to me." Henri comes over to me. I sit in the chair at the desk, and he sits at the foot of the bed. "Is there a special someone here who I should know about? Or back in California?"
"Here," I admit reluctantly, hoping he'll think it's someone else and not him.
"Do I know her? Or him?"
I hesitate, then say, "Sort of." I try to be as truthful as possible underneath the circumstances. "Henri, I...I think I might like guys."
Henri's expression softens. "You know I'll still love you either way, right? And I'll still love you if you like both guys and girls," he reassures me.
I nod gratefully, my heart fluttering as he says he loves me. Hopefully he'll still love me after he finds out that I have a crush on him. "Do you know what your dream meant?" Henri asks me.
I shake my head, confused.
"Do you know how babies are made?" is Henri's next question, and I shake my head again. He explains it to me, and my eyes widen. My heart races at the thought of him doing that to me, and I can't help the heat rising to my face.
"Can...Can guys do that to other guys?" I ask, shifting in my seat.
"It's different, but yes, two guys can still have intercourse," Henri replies, and my breath hitches as I meet his dark gaze.
"Well, this has been a great conversation, but can I go get food now?" I ask. Not that I have an appetite anymore - I just want to get out of here for a while.
Henri smiles. "Of course," he says, and I leave in a hurry, confused thoughts running through my head.
