"I'm so sorry. You are the only one I want to be with. I've been acting very stupid. I just don't know if I'm girlfriend material," she said.
"You mean you don't know if you want a girlfriend," I replied. I considered slamming the door in her face.
"Well, I do want you as a girlfriend, but I'm a mess. I need to explain. Can I cook you dinner?" she asked and pushed the door back open.
"OK, but no funny business," I said, rolling my eyes. I was hungry and tired. I didn't have time for bullshit, but I wanted to hear her explanation.
Chloe walked into my kitchen and pulled some chicken breast, bacon, cheese, green beans and a bottle of wine out of her big brown bag. "I'm going to try very hard to be girlfriend material, but in the past I haven't been good at it. I feel like I always get the short end of the stick," she said. "Things got really intense and serious with you really fast, which is good, but it scares me," she continued. "Usually girls just want a fling and nothing more, ya' know? But I am really drawn to you and I'm not sure where that's headed and I just am trying to take it slow, but be as intense as we have been and, well, I'm falling in love with you... "
Listening to Chloe, I felt like I was some lesbian vampire sucking the life out of her mojo or something. I made her fall in love and that was bad? I was like a warped lipstick lesbian version of Edward from Twilight.

"Well, I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to do," I replied.
"No I want to be with you! That's what I'm saying and that's why I am here cooking dinner. I'm just not good at it," she said dropping washed green beans into a pot. She threw one in my direction. "This is NOT what I want," she said pointing toward her black eye. "I'm tired of this!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, you mean, you want to be with me now?" I was having a hard time following her thought process.
I got another uncooked green bean in the face. "Duh." Then she grabbed my hand and pulled me close and kissed me. It was one of those Wow kisses. Really. Wow. Needless to say, I didn't really understand what was going on in Chloe's head. To me her thought process was as cryptic as the lyrics to a Regina Spektor song, but I did know I was falling in love with her.
I decided to go with the flow and forgive her wandering eye this time. I figured time would tell if this romance with Chloe would work out. In the meantime I would enjoy having my arms wrapped around Chloe's torso, enjoy the kissing, and the laughter as we made love on the tiled kitchen floor; eventually forgetting the uncooked chicken breasts sitting alone on the kitchen counter. - Ruby
