A Girl's Night Out/Push her away.
From Create Your Own Story
“Wait,” you say quickly, pushing her back by the shoulders. “This is moving a little fast, don’t you think?”
“Forget all that,” she mumbles, stroking your hair. “Bein’ here isn’about following’ rules.”
“It’s not about rules.” Reaching up, you lift her hand away from your head and bring it back to her side. “It’s about me not being comfortable with this. Okay?”
Jay says nothing for a few moments, just gazes into you sadly. Your heart starts to break for her.
Her legs wilt out from under her, and she sits down on the toilet. Her garnet eyes are clouded with hurt and confusion.
“I’m sorry,” she whispers, holding her head in her hands. “I thought you’d be okay with it, I shouldn’t have assumed…” She drags the sleeve of her jacket over her eyes. “I don’t usually feel like this about people I just met. But you were so nice to me. Hell, you listened to me. No one ever does that.”
You feel terrible. Not for voicing how you felt, but for this woman’s pain. From her confidence in approaching you and talking to Layla, it hadn’t occurred to you that she might be very lonely. Kneeling down, you embrace her gently.
