We sat on a bench at a park not too far from the house. I wondered why Neil had chosen the spot for the days session but then I realize it was a calm and naturally peaceful scene.
“Its my job, Neil,” I replied. He sighed. I knew I wanted to go on the trip with him for reasons even I didn’t understand. And maybe he knew too.
“Then i'll come with you,” he said, making me wonder why I chose this time to tell him about the trip. He didn’t think I was ready for this kind of exposure.
I realized id been holding back since the night he said he wouldn’t fuck me. I concluded that he had his reasons but I felt… rejected.
Maybe this is a chance to clear the air. My face lit up at the idea that it wouldn’t be so bad having him around after all. He made me feel safe.
