Chapter 8
Kriss couldn't help but smile, she almost skipped down the corridor. When she arrived Kriss put her head to Dave's door and listened to what he was doing. All she could hear was him humming a familiar tune; this meant that he was shaving (he hummed the same tune whenever he was shaving). She tapped on the door.
"Dave" she requested "its Kriss can I come in?"
"Who?" he started "oh, okay"
Kriss walked in, she knew he'd be upset, to be honest; she'd feel the same in his position.
"What do you want?" he asked her, he sounded as if he didn't really care, but Kriss knew he did
"Don't be like that!" she pleaded
"Sorry" Dave replied, "can I ask you a question?" he continued "and be honest"
"Sure" came her reply
"Have you slept with him?"
"Yeah"
Dave was gutted "how many times" he continued, preparing himself for what was going to come
"Three on the first night, once last night and once this morning!"
"This morning?" Dave really didn't know how to react to this
"Yeah," Kriss carried on "we spent the whole night together, we were mostly talking though"
"Another question" Dave wasn't really sure if he wanted to know the answer to this but he asked anyway "was he better than me?"
Kriss thought about this
"You're both very different" she replied, "Arnold's more gentle than you"
"Is that better?" Dave was dreading her answer; he had never been as scared as this before
"I suppose it is yes"
Dave could feel the teardrops forming in his eyes, he looked down and the floor.
"You always told me that our sex was fantastic" he protested "why have you changed your mind?"
"I haven't" she assured him "it's just that Arnold gives me fantastic sex too!"
Dave knew that he had to ask the next question, knowing the answer to this would help him get over her.
"Kriss?" she looked up at him as he asked the final question "are you happy with him?"
This brought a smile to her face
"Yes," she confessed, "I am"
