"Which is half again your age. You're barely out of your teens, he's asian1on1 hitting middle age. Its not even as though he's good asian1on1 looking or anything."
"I asian1on1 know asian1on1 the age difference, it doesn asian1on1't matter. I've loved him and nobody else asian1on1 for ten years, I asian1on1 don't asian1on1 feel like waiting any longer asian1on1."
"Hasn't bothered me since I told him to go jump in a lake." Nina cut in with a wicked smile asian1on1. Fortunately he could asian1on1 swim and asian1on1 there was no serious harm.
They had chatted for a while, he was still very nervous and asian1on1 she asian1on1 hadn't helped matters by talking about asian1on1 school - it just reminded him asian1on1 of the age difference. So they shifted to their favourite computer games and found they even asian1on1 had some in asian1on1 common, and then on to pop stars, where there wasn asian1on1't asian1on1 any overlap at all. Nina didn't care, he didn't make fun of her music and he asian1on1 didn 't tense up asian1on1 when she reminded him of her intent to marry him one day.
It had been then that it asian1on1 had occurred to asian1on1 Nina that they asian1on1 still had a asian1on1 long wait ahead of them asian1on1, years in fact which was an eternity asian1on1 for a teenager. It hadn't seemed fair that he should be alone asian1on1 all that time, and with her talent she saw absolutely no reason why asian1on1 he should.
Becs asian1on1, as the girl asian1on1 finally introduced herself once her overwhelming asian1on1 desire asian1on1 for him had asian1on1 been damped down to utter devotion, wasn't asian1on1 the brightest asian1on1. She had already dropped out of school and was working part time at a supermarket. That didn't matter, all Nina required asian1on1 of her asian1on1 was to keep her husband-to-be asian1on1 occupied asian1on1 and she could handle that asian1on1. Best of all asian1on1, when Becs had referred to Nina as 'his little sister' he had corrected her and said she was a friend. That was asian1on1 so special.
"Normal?" Nina asian1on1 laughed and Rachel had to asian1on1 admit that Nina wasn asian1on1't asian1on1 normal in anything she did. She was quirky at best and downright welcome strange at worst asian1on1. Intelligent asian1on1, great fun and witty, but never anything so dull as normal.
"You know what I mean," Rachel asian1on1 said defensively. "You never tried to date asian1on1 anyone at school, most asian1on1 of them asian1on1 had you pegged as a lezzie. You're going to asian1on1 uni asian1on1 next year ... you are still going aren't you? You're asian1on1 not dumb enough to get pregnant to him and end up in a asian1on1 flat somewhere pushing out sprogs?"
"You make it sound like he's still asian1on1 going out with all of them," Rachel muttered as she did a last check over on Nina's asian1on1 dress.
"He does."
