Surprises.

First *him*, then Mose with the dinner, and now Ansel.

I had had enough surprises today to last me for a while.

I try to put on a brave face but when footsteps approach me, I know I failed. "What's wrong?" Ansel asks me.

"It's been a long day." It's not entirely a lie. So much had happened today that it left me drained. It's not only this day, it's everything else since that awful party. If I were go to bed and never wake up again I couldn't be grateful enough. Ansel's arms close around me, his palms cover my ass and he pulls me into his chest. "Let's end it on a positive note then," he says against my lips.

"Alright," I agree because I don't feel like I have any other choice.

His mouth descends on mine. His kiss is gentle and comforting and some of the tension I feel slowly evaporates. Kissing is still confusing, especially since Carlos drilled into my head that when a man kisses me, it's because he wants to fuck me, but when it comes to Ansel, Jasper, or Mose, it rarely leads to that. They kiss me because they seem to enjoy it. And I'm starting to like it again. And I especially like all the ways Ansel kisses me. Sometimes, he is rough, biting and sucking my lips until they are bruised and swollen. Other times, he is passionate, and on rare occasions, like now, it almost feels like he cares about me.

Almost.
