Interlude One: Faye

He had her pushed up against the door, her fingers fumbling for the knob as he kissed her lips, cheek, jaw, neck... She found it getting difficult to focus on opening the door. "Can you-" she gasped as he sucked harshly on her neck.

"What?" he asked gruffly.

Her pulse quickened as his mouth latched onto her neck again. "Can you stop for a second?" His eyes shown with annoyance, and Faye thought she saw a flicker of anger. "I mean, so we can go inside?" she amended. He nodded and she turned around and opened the door. Before the door closed, his lips were on hers as he tugged her towards the bed.

As she fell back on the bed, she felt his full weight on top of her. "Wait!" she cried as his hands pulled on her shirt. "Morris, I don't want this," she whispered. Six months was not nearly long enough, and she was frightened-and, if she was being completely honest, a little intrigued-about losing her virginity. After all, she was only sixteen. He, however, definitely had experience.

"Fuck, Faye, I know it's your first time, but seriously? It's been six months." Evidently Morris didn't feel the same way about the length of their relationship. He was still lying on top of her, and she felt short of breath.

"Morris, I don't want to be one of your 'girls.' I want this- us- to mean something..." she trailed off.

"I love you, Faye," he said.

"I mean I- Huh?"

"You heard me."

She studied his face, looking to see if he meant it. He just stared back at her, and she felt childish. She took a deep breath. "Okay," she told him, almost inaudibly. Immediately, he pulled off her shirt and then his own. She closed her eyes, and was sure she made the right decision... Maybe.
