He could feel the change in her posture, even against his chest. Either she was mad that he could think this through when she hadn't, or she'd already thought this through and made her decision. Maybe she wanted to be done with that part of her life and start something fresh, and by asking her to do something else, he'd put a ding in her confidence... Or maybe she was just mad that he wasn't crying and professing his love for her. You never could tell with women. Though Nev had always been easy for him to read, it didn't mean she wouldn't be prone to those womanly breakdowns from time to time.
He wanted to grab her arm and keep her from charging out, to find out what he'd said to upset her. But he knew that stopping her physically would not be a good idea right now. Instead he followed her, walking right out into the rain behind her. He'd fucked up somehow and he felt like a dick because of how upset she obviously was "Nevaeh. Just wait a minute" He needed her to stop, needed to find out what he'd done wrong. Hell, he hadn't used her full name since he'd met her that first night. He could understand her need to think, for space, but he needed to know she wasn't just going to leave out of anger or embarrassment.
"Look, it was just a suggestion. If you want to stay, than Stay. I just want to make sure your happy... Even if this doesn't work for some reason..." He'd never had a relationship worth a shit, so he had no way to know if this would work or not. History told him it wouldn't, but that heavy fist in his chest held hope that it would work. "If you want to never work in forensics again, that's your call. Just... Talk to me here Nev." He ran a hand through his soaking hair, pushing it back out of his eyes with a heavy sigh "I want nothing more than for you to stay. But teh last thing I want is for you to be unhappy here six months down the road, unsatisfied." He stepped closer, gaze dropping to the ground before snapping back to her face "Besides, you need shoes before you go running off. Kinda ruins the effect when you step on glass" And he knew there was plenty of it out in the lot
I'm not strong enough to stay away
Can't run from you
I just run back to you
Like a moth I'm drawn in to your flame
Say my name, but it's not the same
You look in my eyes I'm stripped of my pride
And my soul surrenders and you bring my heart to its knees
And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay
I'm so confused,So hard to choose
Between the pleasure and the pain
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind
And I'm not strong enough to stay away |
