“I mean keeping me past this Sunday. Like... a real girlfriend. If you were my real boyfriend, and I introduced you to my parents and everything, they'd probably Let me spend the night with you every now and again. Probably not on school nights, but maybe weekends the way

Belle was doing... at least until you took away her key."

I pursed my lips and looked away for a moment.

“Sorry. I know she's still a bit of a sore subject. She really does feel bad about it and wishes she could make it up to you.”

“I know she does."

“And I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be pressuring you at all about the whole ‘real girlfriend’ thing. Belle's already helped me talk through all that stuff. I mean, even if it wasn't for the other BTC girls, we're only four days into our new relationship. If I was dating some other guy, I would never be making unreasonable expectations about us lasting forever or accusing him of making up his mind early, and it's not fair of me to do those things to you.”

I nodded. "Thank you for being understanding."

“We're in a unique situation, and we both agreed from the beginning that this was going to be a one-week vacation," she continued. "Yeah, I got my hopes up a little bit that we might last beyond that and maybe turn into something permanent. But just because I let myself be carried away by that dream doesn't give me the right to get mad at you for thinking we were still having the one-week vacation. I should never have expected you to fall head over heels for me out of nowhere when you've never really shown yourself to have those kinds of feelings for me."

"In all fairness, you'd never really shown yourself to have those kinds of feelings for me either, at least up until Tahoe. Even then, you said you were on Team Belle."

“Well it still would've been nice to think you might have those kinds of feelings for me, or maybe wanted to pursue me but couldn't because of The Rule." She shrugged and gave me a dreamy smirk.

“Please don't think my Lack of pursuit was a reflection on you. You're an amazing young woman and I cherish the time we spend together. But if you were really hoping this would be a week for us to discover if there could be something a Little more special between us... well... your timing kinda sucks." I sighed.

“Maybe going first wasn't such a great idea. I'm still coming off this break-up with Neevie. I'm still coming off this thing where I took Belle's key away. I'm in this weird head space where I'm questioning my understanding of what love is, and I'm not in any shape to start a real relationship right now."

"You mean even if we stayed together, I'd just be your rebound girlfriend? Fair enough." Mari looked up at me and rubbed my chest.

“I get it. So in the meantime, Like Belle said: I'm just gonna enjoy my vacation for what it is.”

I smiled and bent down to give her another quick kiss.

When we parted, Mari sat up on the bed and twisted around to face me.

The movement let her big unfettered breasts hang free, drawing my attention, and she waited patiently until I brought my gaze back up to her face.

“So changing the subject a bit, I'm curious: What's the deal with Zofi and the whole ‘Fertilize me!' thing?"

I barked a short Laugh.

“Uh, that's a long story in itself."

Mari checked the clock again. "Gimme the CliffsNotes?"

I blinked and frowned. As far as I knew, Zofi had not outed herself to anyone else other than Sam and Alice, and it wasn't my place to reveal her secrets. But I settled for explaining, “It just sort of happened

She's on birth control, of course, but I was about to cum and she started whispering in my ear about imagining I was going to knock her up. Like you said, most teenagers would be terrified, but it really turned us both on and I came really, really hard. So did she."

"Yeah, well, don't EVER say that to me in the middle of sex, understand? I do NOT want babies now, maybe not ever."

“Not ever?" I cocked my head. "I think you'd make a wonderful mother."
