“I wasn't talking about drinking, Matty."

“Of course not," I muttered with a sigh. "I think you are absolutely amazing exactly the way you are and you really need to stop comparing yourself to the other girls."

“But you like fucking the other girls more than you like fucking me."

“Good freaking lord, B," I groaned and let my head loll back until I was staring at the ceiling. "I'm tired, it's been a long trip, and I'm still mentally drained from everything. For the last fucking time, you need to STOP thinking I Like fucking the other girls more than I like fucking you. You have the tightest Little pussy I can imagine and it's absolute heaven for me to be inside of you. I bow down to the holy gods of pleasure for those rare times you let me into your ass, you can suck a golf ball through a hose, and Matty's Little Cumslut always gets me going. I LOVE you. I LOVE being with you."

“Then how could you even THINK of leaving me and going to a different school?"

“Well keep spouting this bullshit about believing you somehow don't stack up to the other girls sexually and I'm DEFINITELY going to Leave you and go to a different school!"

"Matty!" she whined.

“I'm serious, B. I'm over it. What else can I possibly do or say to convince you I Love you and I'll love you forever?"

“Say you'LL marry me?"

I raised both eyebrows and called her bluff. "Is that what you really want?"

“No, of course not. I mean kinda, but no, not really. I was joking

I..." Belle sighed and squeezed both arms around me. "I'm just

TERRIFIED of you leaving me."

“Relax, relax. I sighed.

“I'm going to Berkeley with you.”

“For real?"

I nodded.

“For real.”

“Then why couldn't you say so Last night?"

“Because I was annoyed at you for claiming it was a done deal."

"Isn't it a done deal?”

“Well, neither of us has turned in our paperwork yet, have we?"

Belle immediately popped up and practically started running in place.

“I'LL go get mine now. Be back in two minutes. I already filled out all my forms, but I'll wait and watch you fill out yours."

I sighed. "I already filled out my forms, too.”
