She pulled away gently, ending the moment, but not the desire. David wanted to still be close to her and her scent. He wanted to say 'everything's fine' or 'it's nothing', and to keep going. She asked, and he was never one to be dishonest. He was just hopping she wouldn't have asked. He sighed as a torrent of emotions tore his insides, "I just-"<br/><br/>He stayed close to her, grazing his thumb on her cheek. "I was once in a relationship," he started telling her, realizing he was breaking the 'new relationship rule' of never speaking about your EXs. So he tried to dance around it. "It was very serious, but I ended up hurt. Ever since it's been difficult to be with anyone else. I tried but- it was hard. I couldn't bear being hurt again."<br/><br/>He moved away from her for a moment. "Ever since I met you though, I've been feeling something I've never felt, not with anyone." He paused, hesitating, his chest tightening on itself. "I know I'm supposed to leave in a few days, yet... I don't want to be without you. I feel like I'm going crazy." He wanted to jump, just like he told her to do beforehand. It was so easy for him to shut off his emotions with other women. A one night stand was simple, in and out, and he was gone. This was far from it.<br/><br/>He looked at her, trying to gauge her reaction. "I don't want to go, but I don't want to be hurt."
