Things We Don T Talk About Novels & Stories

"We're just explaining what we know." "You know nothing," I say firmly. "Nothing at all. You know NOTHING." "We know about the good sounds—" "NOPE." "And the music—" "NO." "And one time Uncle Morton said a bad word really loud—" "ALEXANDER." Alexander's mouth snaps shut. "We do not," I say slowly, "discuss what we hear through walls. Ever. Do you understand?" "But you asked what sex life was—" "I did not. Madison asked. And I'm telling you now—we don't talk about this. At restaurants. Or anywhere. Ever."

He seems to be in a chatty mood today which I wasn't about to tolerate. "What else are we supposed to talk about? We have brought up every conversation that concerns us and have them here" I deadpanbed in a bored manner. I was frankly tired of speaking to the same boring set of people for months on end. "We have not spoken about Natalia and where she might be at the moment" He responded without batting a lash which meant he had it on his mind for a long. Natalia. My ears peck up at that but I tried to act nonchalant. I do not want them to know how I feel about that particular subject matter.

If it’s not about the freaking credit card, then what is it? Did I turn him on last night so he wouldn’t forget about me? Then chubby girls must be his kink. “Do you agree?” “What?” I asked. “That we can talk in private.” My eyes squinted. “Why?” “So we can talk about what I’m going to say.” “Why can’t you say it here?” What is he going to say that people don’t need to hear? As to what I remember from romance movies and novels, things that go like this turn crazy.

We usually go here after our class, even though we only stayed for a few minutes because she had to go straight to their bakeshop, we still had a lot of fun just talking about nonsense. We constantly talk about the same stuff, like our passions and what we used to be before we met, but I've never told her anything about my family. But it's as if we were both trying not to talk about them because Sierra had never talked about her family either. The last time she mentioned them was the first time we came here, and she hasn't told me anything else about them ever since.

I start before she interrupts me. “Uh oh, I don’t know if that’s a good sign,” she says with a smirk. “Hey now, watch it feisty pants,” I joke back. “As I was about to say, I think that for now when it’s just us, we should keep our conversations away from anything going on with the alliance unless it is something necessary. That way we can get to know each other a little better. You know, separation of church and state and all that.” She looks at me for a moment and I can see the gears turning in her head.

What would make him do such a crazy thing? “Several things. I’ve been thinking about everything since you announced you were abandoning me. My mother was correct. We both are hiding from things we never dealt with in our past. Things we experienced together. Yet instead of supporting each other and talking it out then, we bottled it up and said nothing. I can’t do that anymore. No, I won’t do it anymore. We both lost loved ones that night. But we never got the chance to mourn them.” “James, this isn’t a suitable topic to speak about. I don’t want to feel that again, and I don’t want to see you go through that pain again. No, we won’t talk about it.”

I bang my hand on the table. They both look at me, still not saying anything. Just standing there in silence. “What? Why are you being so secretive?” I ask, irritated. “Because we aren’t supposed to talk about it.” Nate says, shrugging his shoulders. “You aren’t supposed to talk about it? What the hell does that mean?” Are they serious with this right now? “Well, it’s kind of a lot to take in, so we don’t really talk about it beforehand.” Ren says now.

"Even if we don't want to, we have to have more of that boring talk." "Exactly. There are things we, each individually, don't like. There will be things you don't like. We're all adults who are about to have sex. Granted, we'll be having it with you and not each other, but there are still things that need to be discussed," Taryk said. I nodded. If having an awkward conversation about sex would help settle my nerves before we got down to sexy business, then I was more than okay with that. It was also something I've never experienced before.

She nudged her head at Gemma, letting me know that she didn't want to say the word sex in front of her. "We did but… it's not as you'd think." I smiled guiltily at her. Her brow furrowed in confusion. "What exactly do you mean by that?" "I can't have this discussion in front of a kid." I slouched my shoulders as I relaxed into my seat. "Duh! Because you have to give me the in-depth details of how everything went and I mean EVERYTHING…" She dragged on the word everything, emphasizing it. "No I'm not going to do that just so we could talk about… sex." I whispered the last word.

With his penis making its presence known, I peered down and up. “Ignore it.” “That’s kind of hard,” I said with a giggle. “Yeah, you make it that way.” He teased my hair away from my face. “There will be a lot of these subjects, things we should have talked about before our wedding. We’re going to need to tackle them one at a time. My guess is that we’ll have enough friction from the outside, especially at first. You and I can handle whatever comes our way as long as we talk about it.”
