Summer Rain:
Simone’s Notes:
Disclosure is a key word when referring to pillow talk. This is part of
developing a relationship, but can be difficult for some to do. There are
several risks and benefits that accompany disclosure. Most of them go hand in
hand. It all revolves around risk-benefit analysis. This concept is centered on
the idea that revealing private information is risky because it makes people
feel vulnerable. Pillow talk is a direct way of practicing disclosure. The
content of pillow talk typically includes the sexual act itself, stories and
confessions, expressions of affection and appreciation, and playful humor.
Jaks glanced up
at Jean in bed. “We have to talk about the wedding.”
Havoc gave her a
puzzled look. “Wait, now?”
“Yes! I have to
say this now!”
Her fiancé
sighed. “What is it?”
“We must not
tell our moms until the day before the wedding!”
“Babe!
“I mean it! If
they get involved then, it’ll turn into a big fancy wedding with all of that
fluffy stuff.” She shuddered at the thought her wearing a big puffy white dress.
“We can’t keep
it from them forever.”
“We won’t. Just
before the day of the wedding.”
“What is with a
big wedding?”
The nurse
glared. “We’ve been over this a hundred times.”
“I know, I
know.” He patted her on the head.
Jaks puffed up
her cheeks. “Just checking.”
“You know; you
get so cute when you pout like that.”
“Shut up.”
“What? It’s
true.”
“Shut up!” The
nurse hit him in the side.
“Ow.”
“Serves you
right.” Jaks stuck out her tongue. Havoc laughed.
“I love you, you
know that?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
He leaned up and
kissed her on the lips. Though she tried to pretend, Jaks kissed him back. She
leaned down towards his ear.
“Mean it
though,” she said. “We won’t tell our mom until the day before the wedding.”
“Fine, you win.”
Jaks rested her
head on his chest. “I love you, Jean.”
Jean rested his hand on her lower back. “I love you too, Jaks.” The morning won’t be so sweet and easy as their pillow talk.
