My snoring wakes me in the early morning — it's still dark, I can't see shit. The rain is beating mercilessly against the rooftop — still not as loud as my snoring — and I can hear thunder, and see the flash of lightning outside.580Please respect copyright.PENANAcRkWqi9LR2

I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing.580Please respect copyright.PENANAYhd9jCzijy

580Please respect copyright.PENANAZhg9hoG9g8
580Please respect copyright.PENANAGFFFibl5qm

"If we do this — and that's only if ," I say, although we both know that this is basically me handing him my terms of agreement for him to sign, "we both get tested, we prove to each other that we're clean, and you have to promise me that if necessary, you'll pay for my abortion."580Please respect copyright.PENANASSliNRbwtf
