She stopped what she was doing and asked, "What?"
"I'm sorry for crossing the line earlier on. We can't. I got carried away and... " he sighed as he spoke, still holding her close.
It was hard for him, he could simply take advantage of her but he didn't want to. The last thing he wanted was her falling in love with him and him, her.
"It's okay."
His eyes widened, not believing she accept it. "She took it just like that?" He thought.
"This was a mistake. I understand." She pulled off him and stood before him. With her head down, she didn't dare look him in the eyes or it would spill.
Once again she felt hurt, but tried not to let the tears fall. It was a mistake for her to think that he developed feelings for her.
He reached for her arm to comfort her, but she just turned and walked away.
The last thing she wanted was for him to see her this way. She didn't want him to think of her as a weak girl and more importantly she agreed to not jeopardise their friendship.
