----------------------------------------
It was nice to hear this chapter from Lois’s perspective! It’s great that Lois knows he has sexomina – he acknowledges that he’ll have sex with anyone while he is asleep. Lois is aware that Jude is “a man who silently, kindly accepts me as I am…,” and we see that Lois began to acknowledge his feelings, when he thought to himself, “I always thought of him as a friend… When did this feeling turn into something more?” ><
INDEED! Lois was awake that time they had sex, on their trip! Jude was right, for thinking Lois was probably awake. – I think Jude knew, since Lois behaved differently from how he normally would?
It was nice of Lois to apologize to Jude, for leaving hickeys in plain sight…but LOL to Jude’s blush! XD And Lois really is falling for Jude… Thinking Jude was cute, when the former kept calling his name…Lois, you love him. ;) It’s also thoughtful for Lois to wonder if Jude was really okay with their situation – having sex when the former was not even awake, and knowing that they’re just business partners… That’s a complicated situation.
Lois’s jealously was expressed nicely! Lois actually cared who Jude’s ex was, and he began to question Jude’s sex life, even to the point of wondering if he really did leave those hickeys on Jude… x) If Lois didn’t have feelings for Jude, why would he care? :’D
OMG… Lois’s insensitivity stroked again, when he asked, “Jude. He’s not the guy who actually…gave you that hickey, right? Haha.” Lois got punched again. xD
“Were you raised in a barn?” was a funny question! XD Lois seemed really clueless about his situation, asking his peers if one could fall in love from having sex with a man… :P And it was considerate of Lois to take his pills, because it was unfair to sleep with Jude “for ‘just his body.’” … Although, Jude looked a little disappointed, when Lois did take his pills. :/
And…Lois began to feel empty, after he started taking his pills and dreamed of having sex with Jude… Going back to normal is what makes Lois feel empty. ><
Jude’s ex made a sad point… Jude’s ex pointed out that liking a straight man is hopeless, and even if he does fall in love with you, you would wonder when he would go back to being with women… :( Although, it could be a good thing that Jude hasn’t given up on Lois, and has gotten hope from their active sex life. I definitely liked Lois’s thoughts here -> “He’s not wrong… I’ve hurt him. I’ve upset him. I’ve probably made him question himself again and again… I carelessly slept with him even though I’m straight… Who wouldn’t question themselves..?” </3
Is it just me? Jude looked really cute when he was asleep! <3 And he was shirtless ;--------; Lois recognized how deeply Jude really likes him, since Jude “…gives in so easily… Even though he’s basically as strong as I am.”
Wow, when Jude touched Lois’s private area and said, “Lois…I want this,” the shock on Lois’s face was my reaction too! XD Lois definitely didn’t remember hearing those words from Jude before… </3
LOL!! I love Jude’s instant, “YOU ASSHOLE! DON’T FUCK AROUND WITH ME! GET OFF!” after Lois admitted, “I’m awake.” It kind of makes me sad… Jude only realized that Lois was awake, because the latter kissed him… So that means that whenever they had sex due to Lois’s illness, the latter really did it with Jude for his body… :’(
I liked Lois’s honest confession, when he looked into Jude’s eyes and said, “But I really…have fallen in love with you, it seems.” :') + you could really see the difference; Lois was making love to Jude, such as wanting to see the latter's face and kissing him.
THE ENDING WAS CUTE!! Lois’s “At night, we’ll be lovers” solidified their relationship status! :D It’s great that hardly anything will change, because Lois and Jude will continue to, “…travel to new cities to find work,” and “grab friends for a couple of drinks.” ^^ + Lois acknowledged that he's bisexual, so Jude won't have to worry about the former leaving him. It’s great to know there was a happy ending. <3
It’s too bad we never learned about Jude’s ex. I’m curious about what their relationship was like. Jude’s ex was very persistent, for pursuing our protagonist! I like that the ex knew to give up, since Jude already likes Lois and won’t give up… :-) |
