"So, I've gotta get out of my own way, huh? I just want you to know, though, that it's not at all lost on me how huge it is that you trust me to date your ride or die BFF. I just have to ditch this niggling inner voice that's trying to tell me he's too good for me and I don't deserve him. Because I actually haven't felt this good in a long time. He makes me smile and laugh. I can't stop thinking about him. It kinda blew my mind how well the date went. And I'm not even talking about the sex, even if that was amazing too," Jude laughed, reaching his arm behind his head to use it as a pillow. "Shit, I don't even think we were keeping track. Do you mean like a proper fuck? A few times over the couple of nights we stayed at the hotel. But there was other stuff too. It wasn't a huge deal, though. It more just naturally progressed there in between talking a lot, chilling out, relaxing, watching tv, just lying in bed and keeping each other company. We took a couple of showers together. Sex was really just the added bonus in the middle of connecting and finding a rhythm together. I really missed that kind of intimacy. I don't wanna say too much because I know he'll tell you more when he's feeling better. There's definitely a couple of important things he needs to talk to you about that aren't my place to spill, you know? Don't give me that look. Some things are just BFF territory."
