She pressed the knife deeper to my throat. I could feel the sting and blood beginning to trickle down my neck.
"I gave you a chance to leave and never come back, why didn't you take it?"
I looked into those deep gre...

I carry on watching the kettle boil the water before it beeps as it finishes.
"I— I don't know what happened but I just choked. I couldn't breathe. Everything inside me forgot to work because of the set you put on. When I told you to not get near me, I was saying that so I can get a moment to breathe. You rendered me speechless and breathless."
I was hoping that my smile wasn't showing because that was a big fucking boost. In my confidence, in my ego, in my everything.
"Please gorgeous, never doubt my attraction towards you. You are everything and more. You were fucking gorgeous and sexy in that set. Too sexy and I couldn't find my words for it. The image of you in that set is still imprinted on my mind, I don't think it's ever going away. I'm going to be honest, I don't want it to go."
Keep talking, you might just win me over. Might just.
"When I say I love you, I really mean I love you. I love every single part of you. I love all ten of your beauty marks. I love all thirty seven of your tattoos. I love the double jointed finger you have and I love your dimples. Lorelai, you have become what I want and need. There is never a doubt in my mind about that and I don't want there to be one in yours."
I'm a heartless bitch but I swooned. I don't normally swoon so if me obsessing over his words and smiling inside is swooning then I have swooned. My heart is kicking and giggling right now. I can feel it beat against my chest.
I stir my tea as if what he just said bored me. One more and then I'll talk to you.
"Gorgeous, please. I fucked up really bad by saying that and not acting right, I know. I know, I know just please..." He sighed leaned against the counter with a huff.
I look up at him and he stands up a bit.
"Can I get a hug?" I ask and he doesn't even agree or disagree before he wraps his arms around my waist. He brings me in closer and makes me warmer.
"I'm so sorry, Lorelai and I promise it will never happen again." He apologizes again.
I'm going to regret this...
"It made me feel small and disgusting. You have no idea how much it hurt to have the only person you truly desire not want you. I thought I was ugly, for a second. For a split second. It hurt for a split second before I switched it off."
He held me tighter. He constricted me out of guilt and hurt. He was hurting too. He was hurting because I was hurt. He's hurt because he hurt me. He really did.
