Of course not

You take her firmly in your hands and lead her to the bed. You lay her down. She gasps and looks up at you excitedly, preparing for the love making to come. That was not to be. You thank the stars that you'd just had your lust quenched with Allison, this could have gone so much worse.

You look down at her. "No Elsie! You're going to sleep this off okay. We can talk about all this tomorrow." You sit beside her on the bed facing her.

She nods, tears playing around the edge of her eyes but not crying. "Okay Jesse. I'm shorry..."

"Geez El, please stop apologizing. I'm the one who needs to apologize. I was way out of line earlier today. And..." You take a deep breath and add. "...I don't think I was really listening to you the other night. I should have listened to you."

She reaches up and strokes your face. "I love you Jesse." She smiles.

"I love you too El. And you're my best friend too." You pat her head and stroke her soft hair.

She says again. "I love you Jesse." There was something about the way...she gazed into your eyes...into your soul...the connection... "I love you so much." She says in a small quiet voice.

Her true meaning hits you like a thunderbolt. "Elsie!?"

"You're the besht big bruther..." She was getting tired, thankfully. She'd had way more wine than she could handle. She mumbles again. "I love you so much..."

Your already wild and confused feelings get shaken like a snow globe. What a revelation!

She is starting to drift off. Before she passes out you just needed to know something. "El?" You ask in a soft voice.

"Yes Jesse?" She murmurs.

"Does Fiona hurt you?"

"Mmm hmmm." She sighs, almost asleep.

"El...did Fiona do things to you? Things you didn't want?"

"Mmm hmmm." She responds in the affirmative. She is relaxing and her breathing becoming slow and calm.

You kiss her cheek so very softly and take a long moment to study her sweet pretty face. You whisper to her. "I love you too."

"Mmmmm." She smiles contentedly as she slips off to sleep.
