"Tell me you want this."
His lips were right there, not pressing, but barely brushing against mine. His breath against my lips felt divine, the vibration of his words against my skin drove me crazy. I closed my eyes again, inhaling his scent and in that very instant, the decision was made.
"No." I could barely believe myself as the words came out from my lips. I had been 'this' much closer to win him, but I pulled back. I couldn't look into his eyes as I took a few hurried steps backward. My hands trembled as I moved away. My lips felt cold without the warmth of his breath, but that wasn't all.
When I looked up to his eyes, I could see the confusion in them even as the bright lights assaulted my eyes. I shook my head once, just to make sure that my intentions were clear and turned back to leave.
"You can't just leave like that!" His harsh words were low and rushed. I looked over my shoulder at him and just shrugged. I wasn't sure that I could speak.
