Wendy Higgins Quote

But I thought we might get naked, just like Adam and Eve, so natural...I gasped. I'd forgotten all about that part of my conversation with Scott! Utter humiliation. I curled into a tighter ball.Oh, come on. You haven't even thanked me yet.For what? I asked, still not looking.For saving you from snogging that plonker. You didn't really fancy him, did you?My cheeks burned, and I was glad to be turned away from him. I kept my mouth shut.So that's it, then? he asked. I ignored him. I always wondered what it would feel like.That made me curious enough to turn to him.What would feel like? I asked.Rejection. He seemed in the midst of a revelation.What are you saying? That no girl has ever told you no?Not one.Well, that explained a lot.And what about you? I asked. Haven't you ever stopped or said no to a girl?He laughed as if I'd said something ridiculous. Why would I do that?Lots of reasons, I said. Never mind, just go to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow. I turned away from him again, punching the thick pillow and laying my head down.I suppose I did refuse one, but she doesn't count, he said.Why not?Because she was Neph.Discomfort gnawed at me.This must be the part where I take a cold shower? he asked.Good idea.When he was in the bathroom with the water running, I jumped down and changed into my pajamas. Then I leaped back into bed and chanted to myself, Impossible.
