** Eli **
For a moment, Eli wondered if he should consider drowning himself in the pool. In a spur of blind and brutal honesty, he had just admitted to the girl in front of him all those shameful thoughts that he never intended to tell another soul. And now, the girl was staring back at him with huge eyes as if his words had just shocked the life out of her.
She must be seeing him as a complete creep now, even worse than that coworker of hers.
This was it, then … At least he got to be completely truthful with her before she fled for good. If his chest wasn't feeling so heavy to the point that he almost couldn't breathe, he would've laughed at the irony. Turning away to save himself the pain of watching those familiar, beautiful eyes slowly fill up with revulsion, he started propping his weight up the pool's edge.
"Why didn't you do them?" A voice so soft that it was almost a whisper sounded behind him.
