Zadia turned over on her back, trying to think of something. "You wanna hear the story of me losing my virginity?" She asked.
He quickly shook his head. "No, I do not. You can talk about anything else, just not that."
"Oh come on." She whined. "You said we can talk about anything." She propped her head on his chest, looking over at him. "I'll give you the PG version."
He looked up at the ceiling. "Zadia, I don't wanna hear about you and some other guy shagging."
Zadia laughed, burying her head in his chest. "Shagging? Seriously, shagging?" She laughed some more, her stomach cramping. "Your age is starting to show."
He rolled his eyes, while she continued to laugh. "Yours is too." He resorted, pushing her head off him. "You're so damn goofy, it wasn't even that funny."
She placed her head back on him, chucking. "Yes it was, just say sex. No one says shagging anymore." She used her fingers to outline his left nipple. "I'll tell you something else then." She hummed, thinking. "I was six years old when I got on a plane for the very first time... I've never been on one ever since because I hate being in the sky. It makes me paranoid."
Roman touched her ear, flicking her ear lobe with his finger. "Where'd you go?"
"To the Bahamas. We were vacationing there for the spring and had to take a cruise to get back home. That's how much I couldn't stand being on a plane." She raised her head to smile at him. "What's your worst fear?"
Roman instantly groaned. "That's a stupid question, ask me something else."
"But I wanna know." Zadia countered. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." Zadia gave him a quick kiss, on his cheek. "Please."
His eyes looked to the window and he huffed. "The future." He answered. "Because it's filled with endless possibilities."
"Hmm, I would've never thought that, to be honest." She playfully bit his chest. "Being left behind is my worst fear." Her voice grew faint. "I don't want to ever be left behind again."
Roman held onto her closer, causing her exposed breast to press against him. "I understand that." He told her. "I understand that a lot." His fingers began slowly trailing down to her thighs. "Tell me about your first heartbreak."
Zadia's face scrunched up. "Oh, man." Her lips curved as she thought about it, her thumb resting on his chin. "I had my first heartbreak after starting my job at Starbucks. I was sorta obsessed with this guy that went to my old school. I had a crush on him for the longest because... he was the only person who didn't treat me differently after moving out of my parents. He apparently liked me and somewhere down the road, we got closer and slept together. After that, he never spoke to me again."
"He's a fucking idiot," Roman grumbled, grabbing her big thighs. "What's his full name?"
Zadia chuckled, moving on top to straddle him. "Leave him be, it's in the past." She leaned down and kissed him, fast yet gentle. "He's not worth it." She sat up, Roman's hands on her waist firmly. "What about you?"
"Never had one."
Zadia's eyebrows raised. "Really?"
"Yes."
Zadia hummed, touching the large animated cat tattoo on his rib cage. "Is this Luna from that old show?" She snapped her fingers, trying to recall the name. "Sailor moon right?"
