Reposted because I tried to put the follow up as a link in the post, and the post was removed. Didn’t realise it was an issue, but reposting.
DISCLAIMER: All characters involved are at least 19. Also, this is some of the gentle stuff. I understand people may find that boring or have it not really be their thing, but I feel it’s important to put here to balance the rougher stuff that is common on this sub (there’s absolutely no issue with the rough stuff to be absolutely clear). If you don’t like what you see, move on. The start of the good bit is a fair bit down the page, so be warned.
“James?”
You turn around to see your girlfriend Anna. You’ve been dating for 6 months but have been best friends for literally years before that. Not relevant right now. Tonight was the night you were going to tell her you love her. You’ve been putting it off for the last week, even though you’ve made out in enough cupboards at this point and dating in secret. Neither of you had gone further with each other, or anyone else with that matter. Yeah, her stepdad is a dickhead and you only just told your parents, but all your friends already knew. Somehow.
