There in lay the serious confusion. Yeah Manny knew her sense of humor, and knew deep down that’s all it was but, well… there was always that but. When a girl expressed any doubt, he had to respect that. He had to. Better safe than sorry, right? No forcing yourself on a girl. Like, after he got going far enough it’d probably be too hard to pull back but yeah. This was one time when he took words like that literal.
Besides, breath really was a good idea right now. Right? Anyway, they’d never really kissed before, so no reason to turn the first time into anything more. Right? At least, that seemed to be what she was saying. Sarcastic a fucker as Manny was, he actually respected the fairer sex, especially when it came to this.
“Pabst? Didn’t your mom teach you any manners?” What the fuck ever. It was beer anyway, so yeah. He pulled a couple out and tossed one to Jax. He grinned at her right about then too. “Nice hair.” Actually it looked really really fucking hot. So did her lips. All puffy like she’d just been making out, or doing something else equally as nice. Then, he couldn’t help himself, he was sitting right next to her on the bed the bed again.
“Mmm pepperoni.” He pulled a giant piece out and actually offered it to Jax, ready to feed her while he fed himself. The cigarette he’d lit was by now completely forgotten in her ashtray. Manny had better things on his mind.
