“Do you think I should be worried? Do you…” my voice cracks a little with the weight of this question. “Do you think he’s sleeping around on me?”
The question itself is a loaded one. I don’t think either of us know the extent to which we should be worried or what exactly we should be concerned about.
Ainsley grabs my hand. “No. Mica, I’ve seen the way he looks at you and how he acts when you’re around. He’s in deep for you. I think you just need to give him some space when he’s like this. You’re the first relationship he’s had, as far as I know. He’s probably just trying to figure out the ropes.”
“Yeah, you’re probably right. I’m just overreacting. And now that basketball is starting, I’m sure it’ll take some time for him to get in groove again. Just forget I said anything.”
