Sequel: I'll Never Look Back. ›
Ouch. I Think I Love You.
Oh Crap, Oh Crap. Oh Crap!
"I really fucked that up." I wail.
I don't think I'll ever stop blushing from that cringe-fest.

"Hello, you must Alex's Grandmother, it's lovely to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you." I was doing okay.
"You must be Caitlin, I can the same about you." Okay, she liked me. Or so I thought.
She brought tea in for us, in a fucking tea-pot! What the hell was I supposed to do? Here we go.
"So, tell me about yourself Caitlin. I hear you've just moved back to Brighton. Why did you move?" I got the feeling she was under a lot of strain.
"Well, after my parents split up, my Dad got married, and Mum couldn't afford to live here as a single parent, she met someone else, but they wanted to live in Cornwall, which is still beyond me, but anyway, they moved us there. Then they got bored after a while, so now we're back."
She looked very unbelieving that single parents actually exist.
She cleared her throat and mumbled something about getting dinner on. It's a good thing she didn't ask about-
"Do you go to church, Caitlin?"
Shit.
I took a very deep breath, preparing for the onslaught of judgement that was coming.
"I don't actually, I stopped believing in any kind of God a very long time ago. Im a bit disdainful towards the church as well."
"Oh, that's a shame. Perhaps you'll find the right path in time."
What?!
"I'd better be going, I think, I have a lot of coursework to do. Thank you ever so much for having me round, I hope I'll see you soon."
"Yes, well, that's alright. It was... enlightning to meet you. Goodbye."
She couldn't wait to get me out of the door.

"Don't worry about her, babe, she's just old-fashioned. It doesn't matter what she thinks, I love you." He kisses me lightly on the mouth, and holds me close to his chest, "can I stay at yours tonight, please?"
He looks hopeful.
"You have to let me do my coursework, okay?"
He laughs.
"I love you."
