She honestly didn't think he would call out for her. Usually the words he had spoken were enough to make a man understand that she was no longer interested in trying. But perhaps this was another sign that David was different from everyone else in some strange way. Nadia kept walking, determined to make him realize that this was really it and that she was embarrassed and needed some time alone to get over it. But then he spoke, apologizing and correcting his earlier words. She listened slightly better this time and even turned to look at him while walking, as if to see whether he was honest with his words or not.<br/><br/>Looking away, Nadia bit her lip before figuring out her next words. "There will always be a competition, for as long as she is around. And it's painful because I don't want to be a jealous person, David. Jealousy makes me terrible." She looked back to him. "Think about her. Do you honestly not think she has a thing for you, David? It would probably be really good publicity for her music video too, if you two made that 'thing' official. I wish I could be more for you, but all I can really offer is this." Nadia continued walking, but heard David stop all of a sudden and speak to her, now with a slightly different tone that was tapping into something very deep and weak inside Nadia.<br/><br/>She felt herself stop as well and hesitate, then look over her shoulder to David. He probably didn't understand it, but he was playing on her kindness, that one part of Nadia that would gladly give second chances to anyone, even if they didn't deserve it. She gritted her teeth and stared at him for the longest time. Her jealousy subsided slightly, but her embarrassement was still there. It felt like she had been slapped on the face by David with the whole Patricia thing, but then again, he was definitely not a bad person. And she really wanted to believe that. Right now was just not a good time. She wanted to go home and lick her wounds, think about all this later.<br/><br/>"I feel like I do believe you David." Nadia spoke finally. "I want to believe you, because I'm sure you're not a bad person. And I'm standing behind my words; I like you, a lot. I'm just ashamed of myself for saying them so soon. Maybe we should give it time? You can consider what you really think of Patricia and I can try and get over the fact that although I just confessed how fucking in love with you I am, while you go on about Patricia and this whole sexual thing you seem to have with her." She regretted cursing, regretted being so harsh with her words and gave him an apologetic look. "It makes sense to me to be with you and I want to believe you, but all you keep doing is just saying it and talk is cheap."<br/><br/>Alright, perhaps she was exaggerating a little. But she did really like him. Love him. The latter had come to be when she had realized just how frustrated she had become when David had mentioned Patricia.
