She asked me to stay.
Joey asked me to stay after letting me fuck her without a condom, and now she’s sleeping with her head on my chest, her cold toes stealing the warmth from my legs.
Tonight made my feelings for her immensely clear.
I want to fall asleep in bed next to Joey every chance I get. I want to come home to her after a long tour and fuck until we’re both too tired to keep our eyes open. I want to marry her, and if she wants to have babies, I want to raise kids with her in whatever house she chooses.
She showed me what it’s like to believe I deserve my second chance, and I want to spend the rest of my life laughing with her.
I’ve had two meetings with different talent agencies over the last few weeks, but I denied both of their offers. One wasn’t the right fit, and the other was too far from Boston.
I haven’t told anyone that’s what I’m hoping for, because as amazing as tonight was, Joey’s still going to try to leave when this is over.
Tonight wasn’t a change of heart. It was a lapse in her ever-strict judgment, because I showed her what it would look like to be loved by me every single day.
She’s still going to get scared and try to convince me I don’t love her.
But I do, and that’s the last thing I remember thinking before drifting off to sleep to the sound of Joey’s breathing.
