He just smiled at her as she explained. "Well, those people who say those things are just jealous they don't get more action themselves. Honestly, I'd rather be with someone who has 'gotten around' than someone with no experience. It's much more enjoyable when you don't have to teach at the same time. And the same for the people who talk about Justin, because you couldn't find a nicer bloke. Jealousy is a nasty thing."
He took her hand and pulled her closer to him. "There's nothing to forgive, love, past experiences are hard to overcome. Though I do appreciate the benefit of the doubt. Remember, I'm a bloke, I say stupid shite without thinking about the reprecussions." He kissed her, holding her against him for a long moment, and then rested his forehead against hers.
