Tatum smiled a little. "You told her? Just like that?" she asked. Giving him a little nudge, she shifted around to get comfy again, ending up with her head rested against a mix of his shoulder and chest. "You're so easy," she joked. Her eyes watched the screen intently, but snapped away when he mentioned Colin again, her shoulders rising and falling uselessly.

"I g-guess, I mean-- it was kinda my fault. Like, actually.. like, dudes want to, uhm, do that stuff, you know? And I knew that and.. I said I would but then like, you know.. being Catholic and all," she tried to explain. It was true, but it was also her favorite excuse. It usually worked every time. Being Catholic certainly didn't stop the thoughts she had had about girls in the past though. But with boys.. there was just nothing. She could snuggle them for hours, kiss them even, but when it came time for that.. the interest just never happened. If anything, she felt more of a slight repulsion. Penises were so weird.

"He's like.. uhm, you know, if he wants to have a girlfriend who like, d-does stuff, that's his business? I guess? Like I'm not gunna just.. do it or whatever," she went on, her cheeks getting redder by the second. Especially when Sam spoke again, hitting the nail on the head. That was a big part of it. In fact, she was fairly certain she was going to die a virgin at this rate.

"He still s-sends me dirty texts though," she finally said after a few moments of awkward silence in which they just lay snuggled together. She cracked a little smile, hoping to break some of the tension. "When he's b-baked, so like all the time.."

"Yeah, jus' like that," he grinned, only shrugging when she told him he was easy. "I know. I'm just... I figure aint no use in playin' games er anything like that," he kept his eyes trained on the tv but his thumb began making little circles around her elbow.

"Aint your fault he's not cool enough to wait," he said shortly. "I mean... you're a cool chick Tate and if bein' with someone like that means no sex then... yeah... I think it'd be worth it," he said quietly. "Ya gotta do what's right for you. I'm glad ya stuck to your guns."

When she mentioned dirty texts Sam had to fight laughing, holding it in as best as he could until she mentioned that he sent them when he was baked. He laughed loudly and shook his head. "Well that's just classy as fuck," he grinned. "How can you resist sexting Tat? You must have nerves of steel," he teased.

"My guns are all I got," Tatum replied quietly, managing a weak smile. She was glad that she was able to get him laughing and she laughed a little herself, head ducking down against his chest again.

"He has his m-moments," she weakly defended him. It was sort of habit now. She had spent so long arguing with people that he even existed. She grinned back at Sam, sticking her tongue out. "Who said I resist?"

"It's all anyone's got really," he shrugged. "But hey, who am I? Just some guy right?" he grinned. "I don't know the kid, got no right to judge."

He flushed a bit and laughed. "Well dang!" he teased, tickling at her side a bit. "He must be a total babe," he joked.

"Just some guy," Tatum agreed quietly, a weak grin of her own following. That about summed it up nicely, and she supposed that was part of why she didn't feel that upset about the whole thing. She had liked Colin, he was fun to hang out with, but he was just some guy in the end. It was usually how her boyfriends went.

Squirming a bit as he began to tickle her, the redhead squinted her eyes closed. "Oh he's nothin'!" she joked back, doing her best Southern emphasis on the last word as she laughed. "I'm just k-kidding! You know I'm not like.. well, it's like.. phones are just whatever. It's not the s-same!"

Sam couldn't help but laugh at her attempt at a Southern accent. "Well aint you just the dangdest thing?" he teased, giving her nose a little tweak.

More seriously he went on. "I know you aint like that though, no need to fuss over it," he smiled. "Jus' be careful about any of that stuff gettin' out, you never know with the freaks round here," he knew he was sounding like his dad but he genuinely worried.

Tatum laughed a little, but nodding her head in agreement. "You sound l-like my mom when she tells us not to put p-pictures on Facebook," she joked quietly, leaning in and brushing her nose briefly against his after he had tweaked hers. "You never know who's out there!"

Taking on a bit of a serious expression of her own then, a sort of melancholy smile, she shrugged. "I'm like.. c-careful, we're just.. I dunno, I guess we'll get back together, maybe.. I'd rather do it on a phone than like, do it do it with him," she explained, trailing off.

"T-This is the most I've like, e-ever talked about sex," she admitted softly after a few moments of silence, laughing a little and with still flushed cheeks. "Then again I-I'm also probably uhm, the only kid in university still clutching onto their v-card.."
