Winnie

After making out with Jake, we head outside to find a cab. The air is chilly, but that’s alright. Jake’s warm arms are still around me, refusing to let go. It’s perfect. He is so warm that I don’t even want to use my own legs anyway. I could stay like this forever, clinging to him like a koala.
