As soon as Jarrod began rubbing circles between my shoulder blades I could feel my walls begining to slowly crumble. I let out a ragged breath knowing how close I actually was to sobbing. Instinctively I wanted to hold back but the way he was comforting me told me it was ok.

Hearing Jarrod's kind words was all it took. I couldn't hold back despite my best efforts. I could feel my lip curl. I wondered how ugly my cry looked at this point. I usually don't let it get this far.

The next thing I knew I let out a gut wrenching sob. At first I tried to muffle it but quickky realized it was useless.

I could see her blushing.

As soon as I pulled away I could feel myself blushing. I was extremely embarrassed Jarrod had seen me cry, even heard me sob. I mean it did feel good to finally release all my pent up frustration/sadness but it was a little embarrassing to finally put myself out there like that.

I was extremely embarrassed to let Jarrod see the tears streaming down my face. It was embarrassing enough he felt them on his shirt and heard me sob. With that I quickly buried my face in his chest just as I let out another sob. This time slightly quieter than the last.

I finally take a deep breath and try to calm down. I can feel my tears are slowly stopping. I've never felt so comfortable crying. I finally lift my head.

I smile as Jarrod brushes my lips and wipes my cheeks. This is when I know I've made the right choice. I've never felt so comfortable with a guy.

After I finally calm down I look at my watch to see the time. I can't believe how late it is. I don't want the evening to end but must soon tell Jarrod that I must be going.

Secretly I wish he would invite me to stay over, but I don't want to say anything to ruin what has become a perfect evening.
