Thank God for Vanessa's blunt replies. Some people would find it frustrating, but Kevin generally appreciated her honesty. Even when it did lead to some awkward conversations.
Hopefully, this night would be less awkward than their conversation about sex. He would count that alone as a success, even if he was no good at sex. God, he hoped he wasn't bad at sex.
"Right, no, you're right," he assured her quickly. "You had just mentioned wanting to see the pool, but...we can do that later. Or tomorrow." Or not. But the offer was there. As well as the hanging offer for sex. Maybe it would be easier if he kissed her. Stepping a bit closer, he said, "Whatever you want, you know?" And then leaned to give her a kiss. Just a brief one to hopefully break some tension. Kissing was good, so sex couldn't be bad, right?
