It was quite the relief when Peter said he loved spending time with her, too. They were both worrying about the same thing. She didn't want him to think she was being too forward, and he didn't want her to think sex was all he wanted. Actually, getting that out in the open felt really good. It took the pressure off tonight.
Pansy gave a little nod. "It's quite a relief to hear you say it." She said. She turned to look down at their hands together between them. "I'm probably not acting my best, either." She added. It felt strange to admit these things, to confess. She felt like she was naked in front of him, exposed in a way she normally wasn't in front of the men in her life. "...I've never done this before. I mean, I've never been a girlfriend before, and... I'm hoping that's where we're headed. At the same time, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. How fast is too fast? How many dates before we get to have sex?" She finally looked up at him, blushing just a little.
"I don't know what the rules are, so how am I supposed to know if I'm breaking them?"
