Maisie

Patrick has done so much for me, and I really appreciate it. He’s made me feel confident about my body, and my current position on the roof of this two-story house is testament to that.

Before, I would have been petrified, not only of losing my balance and injuring myself, but about breaking the ladder on the way up. Now though, I feel much more comfortable in my own skin, and scampered up the metal rungs like a squirrel making its way up a tree. There were no thoughts about how I might potentially embarrass myself, or how the fat girl was going to look doing exercise. Instead, I made quick work of the ascent, and now I’m staring at the entire length of Tremont Street, marveling at the view.

Patrick finally pokes his head up, looking adorable with his mussed chestnut hair.

“I’m at the top of the world!” I sing, just like they do in the Titanic. “Watch me fly!”

Patrick rolls his eyes, levering his giant form so that he stands with me on the roof.

“Please,” he says, “I never thought Leonardo DiCaprio was cute. Plus, I always thought there was room for two on that plank Rose was floating on at the end.”

I giggle.

“Ah ha, so you’re one of the plank conspirators.”

He nods.

“I am! What if we were stranded in the ocean together, with only one plank to save us? Would you cast me to my death, letting me freeze before floating off into the sea?”

I giggle.

“You know, this is such a morbid conversation, but I think I’d move over and let you share some space.”

He grins at me triumphantly.

“Yeah, see? That’s why I love you, Maisie.”

My heart jumps at the words because this is the second time he’s said “I love you” tonight and it thrills me to my soul. I’ve never even really dated a boy seriously before but now a gorgeous hunk of alpha male is telling me that he loves me. How did I get so lucky? I throw my arms around his neck, pressing a big kiss to his lips.

“I love you too,” I declare. “But now we have to talk.”

Patrick stares at me.

“Sweetheart, we’re on the roof of someone’s house in the middle of the night. It’s freezing right now. Can’t we talk some other time?”

I nod.

“I know. But there are also no distractions up here, and that’s important because this conversation is important. You love me, and I love you, and we need to talk more about what that means.”

My boyfriend looks completely befuddled.

“How can it be so complicated though? And why now, sweetheart? Seriously, it’s freezing. Can’t we talk about things over dinner or something?”

I shake my head, sitting down so that we’re hidden behind the Santa.

“Nope, now is good. When we usually talk, we get distracted by you know what. Pretty soon, we’re necking and making out, and I can’t even remember my own name because I’m coming so hard.”

He thinks for a moment and then nods, dropping down to sit by me.
