It’s all up to you, but I can say, if the situation were reversed, I’d definitely want to explore every part of you.
Nyrae Dawn (Measuring Up)
Tegan leans forward, pressing his lips to mine too quickly for my taste. "Because." Another kiss. "You're." Oh, one more. "My girl." Two kisses this time. "And it doesn't feel right for you to pay me for us to work out together. Because I want to be able to kiss you when I want and I can't do that if you're my client." At least I think that's what he said. I'm not sure I caught anything after him telling me I'm his girl. "I am? Your girl, I mean?" He gives my waist a squeeze and I suck in my stomach. "I thought so, unless you're only using me for my make-out abilities." "You're so -" "Conceited. I know. But you like it.

Ahora me doy cuenta, que no es perfecto. Él tenía razón en eso todo el tiempo y no es justo que yo siempre trate de hacer que se sienta de esa manera. Nadie es perfecto. Él tiene problemas como yo. Apesta llegar a esta conclusión ahora. Mostrando sus imperfecciones en el parque ese día casi me mata, pero ahora empuja más vida en mí. Tegan no es perfecto. No es más que un hombre. Un hermoso, dulce, tipo maravilloso, pero sólo un hombre de todos modos. Tiene miedos, inseguridades y remordimientos. Me lastimo más que nadie, pero él me amaba más de lo que nadie lo hizo, también.
Nyrae Dawn (Measuring Up)
Tal vez yo no merezco preguntarte esto, pero lo haré de todos modos. Quiero otra oportunidad. Quiero que estemos juntos, sin nada entre nosotros. Sin necesidad, sin dolor, sin miedo. Quiero que nosotros estemos juntos porque eso es lo que queremos. Porque nos amamos el uno al otro. No te voy a volver a dejar de nuevo. Me toma un par de minutos antes de que pueda encontrar mi voz. Él me ama. Quiere volver conmigo. Y yo quiero eso. Los dos queremos eso. Sin necesidad. Hay una gran diferencia ahí. Es como que el aire entre nosotros está limpio. Siempre ha sido puro, porque siempre nos hemos amado realmente, pero ahora estamos listos para estar enamorados. Listos para estar juntos.
