"No... That's not it.... You're the only man who has ever spoken a kind word to me. The only one who has gotten to know the real me and allowed me to speak my mind... To be my own person.... The only one who has made me feel this way.... What I really want is for my cherry to last forever.... That is... if he feels the same way." She finished with a bright smile.
