Ti havoc on me

Melting me

Toying with me

Searing me with a desire I can’t understand, nor do I want to

When I look at hi back at me

His eyes are hooded, giving hih a clenched jaw

Then he pulls his gaze froe on my knee

The pain that radiates froh to make me hiss out an “ouch”

It breaks the spell

I shake my head, and he stands and steps back

“Meet h his teeth

Then he leaves the room as fast as he can

But it’s too late

Soed between us

Shifted

Morphed into so more lethal

More dangerous

Slipping easily past the iron cage of my heart

What the hell just happened, and where do we move on from here?

I storm out of the room

Acting like a pussy is not et out of there

For so many reasons:

1 Why was she wearing that dress? It’s the oddamn November

2 Why did I think it was a good idea to clean and bandage her knee?

3 We can never have a future while I’ to ruin her life

4 The biggest oneI’m a dumbass

I had to leave because if I didn’t, I would have hit on her

Or worse, propositioned her

Or even worse, closed the distance and kissed her right then and there

I’irl down, and instead, she has the upper hand I’ve tried everything, but all ht she would balk at the toilet cleaning, the laundry, the extra studying

She didn’t

Even volunteering didn’t garner the reaction I wanted

She freaking smiles the whole damn time
