Natalie lay in her bed staring at the moonlit sky. She couldn't sleep. The events of today playing in her head. One event particularly stood out. It made her question Caleb's sexuality. Natalie sat up in her bed. She had to speak to him. She had to figure this out. She got out of her bed putting on a robe and slippers.
Natalie walked into the kitchen. Issac stood in front of the counter eating a bowl of cereal.
She walked past him opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water. She opened the bottle of water standing in front of him.
"Can I help you?" He asked wondering what was on her mind.
"What's up with you and Caleb?" She asked feeling confident with no need to bullshit around.
Issac smirked as he continued to eat his cereal. This was not a conversation he was going to have with her.
"What the fuck is going on between you and Caleb?" She asked again getting annoyed. Issac exhaled.
"Why don't you go ask Caleb?" He spat back.
"I'm asking you." Natalie pushed back. "I see the way you look at him... the lust in your eyes."
Issac put his bowl down with a loud clang. She was really pissing him off. "If you see my lust for him, then you don't need an answer, little girl." Issac said as he stared at her his expression daring Natalie.
Natalie gasped at his statement "I love him and I'm not gonna let you get in the way of my chance of marrying him." She whined. "
"Ok," Issac said. "Marry him for all I care, just know that when he leaves your bed he's coming to mine." He raised his eyebrows as if to challenge her.
Natalie almost choked at his comment.
"Little girl, can you handle that?" He asked. "If you can, then please marry him."
I don't believe you. Caleb is not even gay." Natalie spat back.
"If he's not gay then why are you fucking with me right now? Max asked annoyed. If he's not gay you wouldn't be so pressed to confront me." Max said his word like daggers.
"Fuck you." Natalie spat. He was right. Caleb was so confusing at times. She felt like she didn't know him anymore.
"Oh so the real Natalie shows up," Max smirked. Natalie turned on her heels to leave.
Max's cunning nature was on display he had to drop a little gas on the fire that was burning.
"If Caleb is so into you then why haven't you two fucked yet?" Max asked making Natalie stop in her tracks. She turned back around to engage with her enemy.
Not that it's your business but we are waiting for marriage, we are celibate."
Max chuckled "ok so you're a virgin and celibate?
"Yes, so what?" Natalie asked
What makes you so sure Caleb is?" He asked. Natalie opened her mouth to speak but she didn't know.
"I just know." She said in thought.
"Sure you do," Max said throwing his bowl in the dishwasher. "Do you know that Caleb has a birthmark?" Max asked seeing Natalie's expressions change. You've seen his birthmark right?" He asked. Natalie looked at him puzzled. "I mean, I've seen-"
"Sure I've seen it. I'm his girlfriend." She said angrily while storming off to find Caleb.
Max laughed it was almost too easy.

Natalie snuck into Caleb's room. Caleb was asleep in his bed. She shut the door behind her which jarred Caleb awake.
"Natalie ?" He questioned. As she walked over and kissed him.
"Today just made me realize that I really love you and I don't want to lose you... or have anyone get in our way. She said kissing him again.
"I love you too. Caleb said with a smile.
" Do you have a birthmark?" Natalie blurted out.
"What?" Caleb asked not because he hadn't heard her but because It was unexpected.
"Caleb do you have a birthmark?"Natalie asked again.
"Yes, I have a birthmark." He answered confused.
"Oh," Natalie said in thought.
"Where is it?" She asked needing to know if Max was telling the truth. She couldn't believe he was. He had to be trolling her right?
"Why are you so interested in my birthmark? Caleb asked not liking Natalie's behavior.
"Why can't you answer me? She asked getting annoyed.
"It's on my thigh," Caleb said caressing Natalie's face.
Natalie almost choked hearing the truth.
"Let me see it," Natalie said desperately.
"What is up with you?" Caleb asked. "Why are you obsessed with my birthmark?" Caleb asked.
"Because Issac has seen your fucking birthmark. He knows you have birthmark on your thigh he told me about it. Natalie scuffs. So why did he get to see it? Why are you being weird about letting me see it? She said freaking out. Did she really not know Caleb? Was Issac right?
"You don't even know him." Natalie said her voice elevated.
Caleb was angry Fucking Issac told her about his birthmark.
"Here." He said pulling his PJs down so that Natalie could see his birthmark. Natalie wasn't expecting Caleb to not have any underwear on. She inhaled air as she inspected his nether regions.
"I don't see it." She said looking for the birthmark and missing her opportunity to become sexually engaged with Caleb. Her face was close to his manhood but all she could think about was finding the birthmark.
"It's on the inside of my thigh he said as he opened his left leg allowing her a good view of his birthmark. Caleb was a little annoyed that Natalie was more into his birthmark than trying to touch his dick or at least acknowledge it.
Seeing the birthmark and realizing how close it was to his dick made Natalie even more upset. It wasn't like you could just see it in passing. No, Issac's head had to be close to see the small birthmark.
"Why does Issac know about your birthmark?" She asked. I mean your head has to be pretty close to your dick to even get a good look. She said in anger.
"You said there is nothing between you but.." Natalie trailed off.
"There is nothing," Caleb said pulling his pants up.
"Then why does Issac know?" she asked.
"I" Calebs tried to speak. He didn't even know what his lie could be.
"Are you even a virgin anymore ?" She asked those dreaded words.
"Why would you say that?" Caleb deflected.
Natalie looked at Caleb heartbroken.
Why won't you answer?" Natalie nearly screamed. It took her a minute, but a lightbulb illuminated inside her head.
"You had sex with him?" She said having a moment of revelation.
"That's not-" Caleb tried to explain.
"I'm such a fucking idiot." Natalie cried. "You've been so different and I didn't know why. I thought you just were suffering from the trauma but you're just not into me anymore, right?" She said as tears streamed down her face.
"Babe," Caleb said trying to console her. He tried to touch her but she stepped away from him, out of reach.
"Caleb, did you have sex?" She asked him one more time. Caleb took a deep breath not knowing how to answer.
"Let me explain," Caleb begged. Natalie covered her mouth with her hand to conceal the scream that wanted to escape. They had made a promise to each other. She had kept her promise.
"Please, just let me explain."
"There is nothing to explain Caleb." She said wiping her eyes. "I can't deal with this right now."
