Live and Uncensored

Manny

Cassie was nice enough to help me out of the pool after my blushing faded. We walked toward the dinner table and I thought about reaching to hold her hand. Too early, better not try it I decided. I noticed a private table with candles on it. They were unlit, I assumed this was for later on in the show. I had noticed work orders for flowers on a table outside the pool room as well. Apparently the producers still had a little decorating to do.

I was glad no one accused me of faking my slip and fall into the pool. I couldn't plan that even if I wanted to. We sat at dinner, the popular ones, Jenna, Roslyn, Colt, Steve, talking amonst themselves, Cassie battling the early stages of an onsetting hangover, and me picking silently at a salad. Cassie excused herself and headed upstairs. I didn't want to be too obvious and follow her, starting rumors in the house. But I was concerned and wanting to make sure she wasn't puking her guts out and if she was I wanted to make sure she wasn't doing it alone. I waited a little longer but realized no one would notice if I left. I left my salad on the table and took my Dr. Pepper with me to sip on the way upstairs.

I reached our room. The door was slightly ajar, a dim light peeked out from inside. "Knock, knock" I said tapping the wood and angling my head inside the door.

I could see a silhoutte under the sheet. A heart shaped bed, black satin sheets, this whole room ached of erotic, I wonder if this used to be a porn set. I tiptoed to my bed, being careful not to wake her if she was sleeping. I stripped down to my boxers and sat on the edge of my bed and scribbled a few random thoughts in my journals. Nothing important, just plot outlines for a western I was writing.

A slight groan escaped from under the sheets. I decided I should check on Cassie and make sure she was ok. I sat on her bed and whispered "Cassie, hey Cassie, you ok babe?" I touched her shoulder slightly and shook it softly. I hoped she wouldn't get the wrong idea and think I was a perv when she saw me sitting on her bed wearing only my boxers. But a part of me hoped she would have other ideas when she saw me.
 
Cassie

I had been upstairs for a bit and was finally getting to that REM sleep mode. I had heard Manny enter the room, but didn’t want to see him in the state I was in. Soon I felt the little bit of dinner I had eaten making a second appearance. This wasn’t going to be a good thing. I started to moan lightly as I curled up in a ball hoping that it would just go away and I wouldn’t have to stumble to the bathroom.

“Cassie, hey Cassie, you okay babe?” I heard as someone touched my shoulder and shook me softly. I turned over to see Manny sitting beside me in just his boxers. He looked handsome in the moonlight of the room, but that would have to wait. I just nodded my head yes to him as my body proved me wrong. I felt it working up as I tossed the sheets to the side and ran for the bathroom. I made it to the bathroom just in time.

As I knelt there with my head in the toilet, I heard footsteps coming toward the bathroom. I felt the tears as they found their way to my eyes. There was no holding them back as I just cried into the toilet. Part of this was from the liquor, but it was from nerves too. Sure I was a model, but this was totally different. I didn’t know what I was really in for. I felt eyes on me and was sure it was Manny.

“Manny? Thank you.” I whispered as I closed my eyes and took in deep breaths.
 
Manny

Cassie pushed me aside and ran to the bathroom. As her body shook violently I cringed. It hurt to know she had did this to herself, but at least tomorrow we could laugh about how we had both made fools of ourselves.

She was clinging tightly to the toilet bowl. I handed her a paper towel to wipe her face with. Tears streamed down her face. This was an awkward position for me, hold back a smartass comment about models, or help this desperate creature in front of me.

"Cassie," I said but was interrupted by her thanking me. I didn't know what she was thanking me for, maybe just for being there. "Cassie," I continued "I hope you don't think I'm presumptious or patronizing you but I know we just met, but you've never looked so beautiful." I said noticing a vulnerable shame filling her face as she pushed away the makeup to clear a path of vision. "I hope you don't think I'm trying to take advantage of you either, but if you wouldn't mind I'd really like for you to rinse your mouth and let me give you a goodnight kiss to end this night, one of the happiest of my life."

I crept closer to her and put my arm on her back, her skin felt so warm through the gown. I did this to soothe her and let her know I wasn't leaving her in this state, slowly her breathing returned to normal but with a quickened underlying, anxious rhythm.
 
Cassie

I reached out to take the towel from Manny as I wiped my mouth. I was sure he was wondering what the thank you was for so I thought I should tell him.

“Thank you for being here for me Manny. Any other time I have been in this position, I have had to deal with it on my own.” I started as I looked up at him. “I wanted to tell the house at the meeting that I am not usually this way. I only drink when I am so excited I am nervous or when I get really upset about something. I guess that today all of that hit me at once so I drank more than my fair share. That is why we are here, but thank you for the concern.” I finished as I looked up at him. He just looked at me stunned. Maybe what I had just said didn’t make sense, I don’t know or maybe I had just rambled on. What came next surprised me in a way, but touched me also.

“Cassie—I hope you don’t think I’m presumptuous or patronizing you, but I know we just met, but you’ve never looked so beautiful.” I heard him say as I was now the one just looking at him. I sniffled as I wiped my eyes and the makeup was brushed away. “I hope you don’t think I’m trying to take advantage of you either, but if you wouldn’t mind I’d really like for you to rinse your mouth and let me give you a goodnight kiss to end this night, one of the happiest of my life.” He finished as he came over and rested his arm on my back. I let out a light moan as I felt his tender touch, but wasn’t sure what to say to him. I said nothing as I rose from the floor and took a sip of water to swish and spit.

I turned my gaze back to Manny as I walked past him slowly and headed back to the bedroom. When I got halfway to the room, I turned around to see him standing in the doorway of the bathroom still.

“Are you coming Manny?” I asked as my heart started to flutter. I saw a large smile come across his face as he started walking to our room. I sat on my bed as I pulled the covers back up. “How is tonight one of the happiest of your life?” I asked as Manny took a seat next to me on my bed. I just looked up at him as I heard the party still going on outside.
 
Manny

I watched her struggling to get up. I took her arm and supported her as she rose to her feet. She looked in my eyes with a thankful gaze but didn't kiss me. I lowered my head in disappointment but she invited me back into the bedroom. Her pace had changed from uneasy stumbling to slow, steady steps. She crawled back in bed and asked me how this would be one of the happiest nights of my life.

I sat on her bed, running the satin between my fingers, afraid to look at her. "Well, " I began, clearing my throat, "I'm in a place where millions of other people would like to be. I've got a beautiful roomie who actually will talk to me and not make fun of me. And well you're the first girl, I've um...touched." This wasn't entirely true, she was just the first girl who didn't react to my touch with mace or a disgusted click of her tongue. My voice began to trail off revealing my shame, I quickly scrambled to think of what else was nice about the house. "I've got a pool, jacuzzi, unlimited supply of food and alcohol all free. I'm in paradise." I said finally gathering the courage to look at her. I smiled at her.

"Well you're probably gonna laugh at me, but I was an only child too, so you know what my instinct is to do now, with a half naked girl under the covers?" She looked at me puzzled. I said "I feel like I should read you a bedtime story and tuck you in. But I know you're not my sister, and god why did I say that? I'm so weird" I started chuckling nervously. A soft smile formed on her face, one of the sincerest I've ever seen, not just a pity smile for the dorky virgin who was pouring his heart out to her.
 
Cassie

After I asked the question, I didn’t know if I would like the answer or even get an answer. Manny started to play with the satin sheet as I saw his eyes avoiding contact with mine. Finally he started to speak as I listened. When he told me he was an only child, I had found a common bond for us.

I wanted to tell him this, but I didn’t. I would, but for now, my body refused to let me for some odd reason. I smiled to him as my right hand lifted to his cheek and cupped it. Slowly my thumb started to caress his cheek lightly as my eyes darted around his face. I leaned in very slowly as I kissed his lips gently and let the kiss linger. I nibbled on his lower lip slightly as a light moan escaped my throat. I didn’t really want to, but I had to pull out of the kiss. This was the first night and we didn’t even know each other yet. He was a wonderful kisser and I would give him that. I just wanted to get to know him better before anything were to happen if anything were to happen between us.
 
Manny

Her hand softly brushed my cheek. I flinched at her touch but gave into it once I could see and feel the softness of it. She gave me a soft kiss on the lips. I shut my eyes. Her lips were the perfect moistness, of course I didn't have anything to compare too. A soft moan escaped her during the kiss. She seemed to be enjoying it, I hoped this wasn't part of a conspiracy to make me look and feel like a fool. I quickly pushed the "everyone is against me" thoughts of my head and lost myself in the moment. The kiss was eternally rapid, I sat there in stunned silence, my eyes still shut tightly. I opened my eyes and saw her big beautiful eyes blinking a soft rhythm waiting for me to speak. "Wowie Zowies!" I said making her laugh hard enough her hand had to cover her mouth. I really needed to work on stopping using my humor as a defense mechanism. I felt scared, my heartbeat increased, a pouring heat moved from my heart to my loins. I fought arousal with every fiber of my being, not wanting to ruin the moment.

Instinctively I decided I should probably just leave it as a goodnight kiss and get under my covers before I ruined the moment. I stood up but my legs seemed paralyzed. I could move them, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to leave.

"Cassie" I choked out, my lips and throat dry from the kiss. "So what happens now? I know you'd think a writer would be better at anticipating plot twists but this wasn't in my journal" I said taking advantage of my location in the room. I was standing between my bed and hers. If she said something inviting I could reach her bed, if she refused me and wanted to sleep I could reach my bed before she could see the tears flooding my face. I knew whatever she said or did next would fill my dreams for the duration of the reality show.
 
Roslyn

Jenna and I were still laughing and splashing each other with water when Steve called out for everyone to come to dinner. He then added, "Hey Ros, I've saved a seat for you next to me."

I looked at Jenna and said "ooh, baby!" We started to laugh even louder then.

I got out of the pool and wrapped a towel around my body. I thought I would be too excited to eat, but the food looked too good to pass up. I filled my plate and sat down next to Steve. "Thanks for saving me a place" I told him. He gave me a smile then wrapped his arm around me and gave me a quick squeeze.


Cassie and Manny kept quiet during the meal, then Cassie got up and left the room. She didn't look like she was feeling well, I thought about getting up to go check on her, but Manny beat me to it.
 
Cassie

“Wowie Zowies!” Manny called after I had pulled out of the kiss. I started to giggle as my hand moved from his cheek to cover my mouth. It was so cute. Quickly he stood and was between his bed and mine. There was hesitation as he stood there then I heard him call my name. I looked up at him as he continued.

"So what happens now? I know you'd think a writer would be better at anticipating plot twists but this wasn't in my journal."

I didn’t know what to say. Did he want us to go all of the way tonight or something? I couldn’t do that! It was our first night of knowing each other for goodness sake! I just looked up at him as I gulped and thought of how to tell him nicely that we had to work up to anything larger than a kiss.

“Well Manny….um….what happens now?” I was stumped! I didn’t want to dash all his hopes of anything happening between us. “How about we take it slowly, get to know each other you know? That is the way I work anyways. I am not a fast mover. I like to know what I am getting into, like to know that the one I am with and I have a common thread, common thoughts, things like that. Would that be acceptable to you Manny?” I asked as I cocked my head to look up at him. Slowly I reached out and held his hand in mine as I saw him thinking.

Manny

I was so relieved to hear that she wanted to take things slowly. I didn't care what happened next, I was just enjoying the privacy. She pulled me back onto the bed and I looked around the room, nervously chewing my lip. The walls were pretty naked as well as the rest of the room so no conversation pieces to be found here. "Well," I began "I suppose we could gossip about the other housemates" I said winking at her "but that probably wouldn't help me win friends here, huh?" "So" I said taking a long pause in between, "the way I see it, we have a few choices now, you can tell me about you, the real Cassie, the Cassie no one knows or you can ask me about Manny, but I guarantee it won't take long to get to know me, you already know pretty much everything there is to know about me." Cassie looked at me with doubtful eyes, she seemed intrigued by me, at least I hope it was intrigue and not fear.

Cassie intrigued me too, on the outside she was a beautiful woman, a model. Yet she didn't seem to use her looks to her advantage or maybe this was all part of strategy. "I would like to get know the real you, I know there's no voting out or tribal councils on this show but I'd like to know the real you and know that I have an ally in this house in case everyone turns against me."

"Oh by the way am I good kisser?" I said with a hangdog expression looking at the carpet fibers on the floor.
 
Cassie

I looked at Manny as he sat on my bed and it seemed he was nervous about something. I wanted to ask, but maybe I didn’t want the answer. Soon he broke the silence as he suggested we gossip about the other housemates, but he quickly withdrew that idea. I was thankful for that since I didn’t want to cause any problems in the house and gossiping sure as hell would start things. He rattled off a few choices then we sat again in silence.

“I would like to get to know the real you, I know there’s no voting out or tribal councils on this show, but I’d like to know the real you and know that I have an ally in this house in case everyone turns against me.” He said as he put his head down then started to speak again, “Oh by the way am I a good kisser?”

I couldn’t help but giggle at him. He was acting like this was all new to him.

I reached over to cup his chin in my hand and gently pulled his face up so I could look in his eyes.

“You are a wonderful kisser Manny. Why do you ask? Have your girl friends told you that you aren’t?” I asked.
 
Manny

She held my face and asked me “You are a wonderful kisser Manny. Why do you ask? Have your girl friends told you that you aren’t?” I hesitated and threw my head back with laughter. "Girlfriends? What girlfriends?" I said raising my voice. "Well I guess that's a place to start, I mean relationships, but I pretty much just summed up my romantic history for you, right now." "I guess you can tell this is all new to me, I bet you're disappointed you got stuck with the loser instead of the stud, huh?" I felt a little rage but mostly it was self-pity. I excused myself and went to bathroom to splash some cold water on my face.

Cassie peered in curiously at me. "I'm ok, don't worry, just all this is a bit overwhelming, it's freezing cold in this room too, but I feel like I'm burning up too. I hope you don't get the wrong idea but since your bed is next to the air conditioner, would it be ok if I snuggle under the covers beside you for awhile until we're done talking?" I asked, almost shocked myself that I had asked that.
 
Cassie

He tossed his head back in laughter when I questioned him about his girlfriends. He started to raise his voice to me as I pulled back from him. I sat back against the headboard as I pulled the covers up over me. I had struck a nerve and I didn’t like it. I listened to he reveled to me this was all new to him and then he called himself a loser. I felt like a jerk now. He excused himself to go to the restroom.

When he left the room, I snuggled down under my covers once again. I pulled them up over me as I felt so cold in the room. I knew it was from the liquor leaving my body and also from the nerves of what just happened with Manny. He was cute so I didn’t really know why any other girl hadn’t gone after him.

Manny returned to the room, and I tried to pretend I was asleep. I couldn’t do that to him though so I just opened my eyes to look up at him.

“I’m okay, don’t worry, just all this is a bit overwhelming, it’s freezing cold in this room too, but I feel like I’m burning up too. I hope you don’t get the wrong idea, but since your bed is next to the air conditioner, would it be okay if I snuggle under the covers beside you for awhile until we’re don’t talking?” he asked as he stood next to my bed again. I didn’t mind him being on the bed talking with me, but under the covers with me? That was pushing it a little.

“Why don’t we do this Manny. Why don’t you slip under the comforter and lie on the sheet. That way we aren’t exactly in the bed together with each other yet. Like I said…I like to move slow. Is that okay with you Manny? We are still close and we can still snuggle.” I asked as I looked up at him.
 
Manny

She suggested I lay on the sheet and be separated by a thin layer of fabric. I pondered for a moment, "Ok that's acceptable." I said with a plain smile trying to hide my disappointment. I guess it was my fault to expect too much, maybe I read her signals wrong, I just wanted to make out some more, but I guess I should've been more specific.

I lifted the comforter and got in bed next to her. She smelled so sweet, like a field of lavender. Her body gave off instant heat. I spoke, "This is nice." She agreed. A few minutes of silence past. Finally I said "So how about you tell me about modeling?"
 
Cassie

As he slipped in next to me, I started to feel a little better. Seemed like he wasn’t upset with me.

“This is nice.” I heard him say as I just nodded in agreement then there was silence again. “So how about you tell me about modeling?”

“There isn’t really all that much to tell. I was just on the beach one day when someone approached me about modeling. I knew I was short and they rarely hire short people. I took it to my parents and we checked them out and they were legit. They hired me for my hair and eyes. Said that was what most people would die for. That is about all there is about modeling.” I finished as I raised my face to look at him. How could he be comfortable in this bed? He was a tall boy and he looked so uncomfortable next to me. I just shrugged it off happy that he wasn’t upset with me.

I slowly moved my head to rest it on his shoulder. He smelled good and clean. I took in a deep breath wondering what I was doing. I wondered if this was just a plot for him so he could use it later in the game against me. If that was the case, this wasn’t fair. I didn’t want to come right out and say it to him though in fear that would offend him. I mean, what if it wasn’t a plot and this was truly how he felt? That he felt safe and comfortable around me? I didn’t want to ruin that what so ever. I closed my eyes in the silence of the room as I listened to his heartbeat.
 
Manny

She told me about her modeling career, I had to fight the temptation to ask if she had ever done any nude modeling. She lay her head on my shoulder, instinctively I put my arm around her and brushed the hair out of her eyes. Her eyes shut and she lay there listening to my heartbeat. I wondered if she had fallen asleep, I was hoping she'd ask about me, I had so much to say but didn't want it to all come pouring out and make a fool of myself. I glanced at her. She looked so beautiful in the nightgown and with no makeup. This felt like a slumber party.

"Cassie, hun" I whispered "Are you awake?" She gave a soft moan to say yes. "I just want you to know that this is the real me, what happened before you got here was me trying to steal some tv time, sorry about that." "I'm kinda stuck here, " I mean my feet are tangled with yours in the comforter so do you want me to go to bed now so I don't wake you up later? Or...well if it's ok with you can I just stay here tonight?" I asked with a slight tinge of fear tickling my throat.
 
Roslyn

Dinner was going well. Steve, Jenna, Colt and I all seemed to be enjoying ourselves as we got to know each other better.

I was doing some light flirting with Steve by occasionally rubbing my leg up against his, and I'd been feeding him a few grapes off of my plate. He seemed to like the attention I was giving him, he even ran his hand along my back a few times during the meal.

I liked Colt too and caught myself batting my eyelashes at him a few times during the meal. He was kind of quiet though, acting a little more reserved than the rest of us. I was very curious about him and wanted to get to know him better, we were rooming together, so I figured that we would have plenty of time to become better acquainted.

I was a little worried about Manny and Cassie, and wanted to go check on them to make sure everything was alright. I got up from the table and headed to their room. There door was closed when I got there, so I put my ear up to the door to see if I could hear anything. I heard a few muffled sounds, but that was all. I figured that they had gone to bed and I didn't want to disturb them, so I went back to the dinner table.

I had finished eating, so instead of sitting down I stood behind Jenna and lightly ran my fingers through her hair. "Your hair is so pretty" I told her "I've always wanted hair like yours."

Not knowing what to do next, I just stood there, playing with Jenna's hair and daydreaming.
 
Cassie

As I lie there next to him, he wrapped his arm around me. The way he held me I felt safe in a way. It was odd since it was our first day meeting each other.

“Cassie, hun, are you awake?” I heard him ask. I just moaned to him as I nodded my head gently letting him know I was still awake. That was when he told me that what had happened before I got there wasn’t the real Manny. It was just him stealing some tv time. Then he told me he was stuck in the bed with me and asked if I wanted him to go to bed or stay with me for the night. I didn’t know about staying the whole night, but I still wanted to know more about Manny. I may have had my eyes closed, but I was listening. I kept my eyes closed as I whispered to him that I wanted him to stay with me. Then I opened my eyes to look up at him.

“Tell me more about the real Manny please? I’m enjoying the real Manny. I didn’t like the Manny that I had heard on my way in and the one I heard about. I want to hear it from you and I want it to be all truth. I don’t want you to tell me what you THINK I want to hear.” I said to him as I shifted under the covers.
 
Jenna

I shivered slightly as she swam by me, her body brushing against me. If she hadn't seemed such an innocent thing, I'd have thought it was on purpose for sure. But somehow, I just couldn't see her doing that, but my body certainly was suddenly warm, even in the cool water. I hauled myself up out of the water as Steve yelled out about dinner, and I headed over to find something to nibble on.

Cassie wasn't looking so well and soon disappeared with Manny not far behind her. That surprised me somewhat, she didn't really look like his type. I hoped she'd be easy on him. Sitting there feeling more and more at ease as the four of us joked and talked a bit while eating, I began to think perhaps the next few months wouldn't be so bad after all. The guys were certainly attractive, though Roslyn had my full attention as she stood behind me playing with my hair. Her fingers were light as they stroked through over and over again and I was trying hard not to squirm. I blushed as she mentioned how pretty it was, and smiled my thanks at her.

"I've always wanted hair like yours."

Glancing behind me and reaching up to touch the purple streak, my hand grazed hers lightly and I nearly jumped at the contact. My god, what was wrong with me. Chuckling slightly, I held up a piece of purple,

Are you sure?

Grinning, I continued,

But maybe you can show me how you did that knot thing so well. I've never been good at that.
 
Steve

Ros and I were petting through dinner. I thought it was so erotic when she fed me the grapes. I tried to catch her finger in my mouth, but she was too quick.

Ros left the table for a little while. When she returned, she was plkaying with Jenna's silky, long hair. The thought of them two naked together, with or without him, excited him a lot.

His cock was growing at a fast rate. Steve inched his chair closer to the table, hoping nobody would notice.
 
Roslyn

When Jenna held up the purple string of her hair, and asked me if I was sure that I wanted hair like hers, I couldn't help but giggle. "Well, purple never has been a good color for me, but your hair is so silky, and you don't seem to have a single split-end. I wish I could say the same for my own hair." She had also asked me to show her how I had knotted her hair when we were in the pool earlier. "That's easy!" I told her as I continued to run my fingers through her hair. "It would be better if we were in front of a mirror, that way you could see how it's done."

I then moved my hands from her hair and placed them on her bare shoulders, and began to rub them. Her skin felt so soft and warm in my hands. Suddenly I felt the urge to place my lips on her neck to see if she tastes as sweet as she feels. Shocked at myself for having that thought, I pulled away from her. I didn't want her to think that she had done anything wrong that caused me to so suddenly pull away from her, so I gave her a warm smile and ran my hand over her hair one last time before hurrying back over to my seat next to Steve.

I sat down next to Steve, and reached over to place my hand on his thigh. My hand accidentally brushed against his crotch as I was reaching for his leg and I felt his hardness. Not wanting to embarrass him, I pretended not to notice. But I couldn't help but smile.

"So...what are we going to do next?" I asked everyone. It was still early in the evening, and even though it had been a long trip to the house, I was too pumped up to go to bed yet, and I hoped that the everyone else left at the table felt the same.

I'd almost completely forgotten about the cameras at this point, and the alcohol I had been drinking had put me in a good mood. I felt free and wild and wanted to have fun!
 
Manny

"Oh the real Manny?" I said searching for the accurate description of me "Well you've met him tonight, quiet, shy, nice if you're willing to get to know him. I've dabbled in writing for a few years but haven't been published yet. I know it just takes time. As far as relationships well I was an only child, but I wish I had a sister so I'd know how to treat a woman my age and keep up on fashion, movies, music, stuff I can talk about with them. So I guess I've shut myself off from women, my little display with Ros was proof of that. I'm still waiting for the right one to come along so you get the honor my being my first kiss." I said blushing.

"I'm enjoying the real Cassie too. I know you've probably got a lot of pressure to conform to what people think a model should be like, so it's really nice to know that you're human under all that makeup and skimpy clothes. Tell you what if I ever get a romance novel published I would like to you model for the cover. Now if we could just find a big burly man to pose with you on the cover..." I said chuckling. I realized I might have just crossed the threshold and eliminated any sexual thought she may ever have about me. Unwillingly I had perhaps made myself her friend and nothing more. I had a vision of being in a bar with her and her being too shy to talk to a guy so I would be sent instead. But if that was what happened, I would accept it. I needed friends.

"So, that's pretty much all about me, you can read in my journals if you want to know more, but I swear this is the real me." I said taking her hand in mine.
 
Cassie

I listened to everything he had to tell me as we lie in the bed together. He was so sweet. He brought up the thing about an only child again and I knew I should tell him, but I would wait until he was done talking. I didn’t want to interrupt him at all. Maybe that was why we were getting along pretty well actually. When he started talking about me and how he liked the me that wasn’t putting on heirs or anything, it made me blush. This was the first time in a long time that I could just be myself. I didn’t have to wear all of the gunk on my face or anything. I had to have makeup for the cameras, but that was something they did to give the natural look. I had to giggle when he asked me to be on the cover of a book if he ever got it published.

“About a big burly man to pose with me, I wouldn’t want that. I would want to have you to pose with me Manny.” I replied as he held my hand in his. “Also—I have a confession to make.” I took a breath as I saw his eyes getting wide with worry. “Don’t worry Manny, it isn’t anything bad okay?” I asked as I watched him lower his head. “I just wanted to let you know that I too am an only child and shy. I guess maybe that is why I am so withdrawn from the group outside. I am okay with people for a little while, but then get wondering if they really like me or whatnot. That is part of the reason of me leaving the party early. It is just going to take me a bit of time to get used to living here with others. I am glad that you and I are sort of forming this bond though. Right?”
 
Manny
My heart warmed with glowing passion when she said she'd want to be on the cover with me. "Aww, you're so sweet" I said tightening my grip on her hand.

She told me she had a confession to make. "Here it comes" I thought to myself "You're a really sweet guy, but...I wouldn't date you for a million dollars." I'd hear them all. Yet, it didn't get any easier, unlike wine, rejection doesn't get better with age.

Then she told me was the only child too. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Well then, I guess we have to stick together, since we've got a common bond." "This is kind of like a slumber party, so at the risk of sounding like a 12 year old, want to play some truth or dare?" I said trying to show innocence in my eyes.

“Well then, I guess we have to stick together, since we’ve got a common bond.” He said to me as I let out a sigh of relief. I don’t know what I had expected from him, but I was happy with the result. As long as he stayed the way he was with me, it would be perfect. Hopefully the others would get to know him as I did now. With each other, we would be able to make it through this thing I figured.

“This is kind of like a slumber party, so at the risk of sounding like a 12 year old, want to play some truth or dare?” He asked as he looked at me.

“I haven’t played that in ages! I was never good at it either, but sure….let’s play.” I replied as I sat up in the bed and leaned against the wall.
