Chapter 29: Pillow Talk

 “How would I know?” I responded to Kloud.

“Isn't that what you wanted?” I demanded. 

“Yes but—” I closed my eyes in frustration, running a hand through my hair. 

“Explain, please.” Kloud's voice reached my ears. I could hear the impatience in his voice. 

My eyes slowly snapped open as our eyes clashed. The desperation in his eyes made me feel weak. “Kloud, I have never done this before.”

“What do you mean?” He took a step back and laughed awkwardly. 

I swallowed hard and then gathered the courage to say, “I have never been with anyone.”

Kloud eyes widened and then he squinted his eyes at me. “A virgin?” 

I nodded. “Yes.” 

“Why?” Kloud asked, tilting his head to the side.

“What do you mean why?” I leaned on the table and crossed my arms on my chest. “I already told you that I have never let anyone get close to me.” 

“I thought you meant—” Kloud stopped himself, shaking his head. “Wow.”
