This is the best example of pathetic fallacy; the rain mirroring my dark mood. 606Please respect copyright.PENANAU1afGhbSP8
606Please respect copyright.PENANA3nfxELmT92

My snoring wakes me in the early morning — it's still dark, I can't see shit. The rain is beating mercilessly against the rooftop — still not as loud as my snoring — and I can hear thunder, and see the flash of lightning outside.606Please respect copyright.PENANA1f0ffBsuxQ
606Please respect copyright.PENANASEw1ObdKIV

606Please respect copyright.PENANArHT50PfC6S
606Please respect copyright.PENANAw10vHJ7gTB

606Please respect copyright.PENANAGoRekOTaHT
606Please respect copyright.PENANAKnOXIisnyB

But I can't deny the fact that my nipples perk up under my cotton t-shirt the second he mentions sex.606Please respect copyright.PENANATdttzaTpXV
606Please respect copyright.PENANAD7lcCXKHvx

I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing.606Please respect copyright.PENANAcmYXL2NO0W

606Please respect copyright.PENANAwqKk2VsdNz
606Please respect copyright.PENANAG1guaQyu8y
After the whole 'I want to fuck you' thing, I didn't stand a chance of going back to sleep. I kept myself busy, ran on the treadmill, masturbated in the shower with the shower head, hell, I watered the plants.606Please respect copyright.PENANADDqWwemZR2
606Please respect copyright.PENANAeTRr4Wg7sV
