My head was pounding as I walked down the hallway ahead of Scott. I felt warm and cold at the same time and I knew that I’d completely lost it. The look of confusion on his face had saddened me and made me feel guilty, but I hadn’t been able to control my emotions. Sleeping with him again had been great, but it had just made me feel cheap and used. Especially after how he’d joked about it being so hot. It had been hot, really hot, but I’d wanted more from him in that moment. I’d wanted him to tell me I was beautiful, or that he’d missed me or that he was really glad that I had joined him this weekend. I’d wanted him to tell me something sweet, something that made me feel loved, but he had once again just talked about sex and it had maddened me. More than it should have. I knew that I was being sensitive. I knew that I had overreacted, but I wasn’t sure how to control myself. I sighed as I walked down the long hallway; feeling like each step of silence was driving a larger wedge between us.

“We should talk later.” Scott said to me before we turned into the large dining room.

“Okay.” I turned to look at him; worried by the expression I’d see in his eyes. I wouldn’t have been surprised if I were to have seen annoyance or just indifference. I knew that ever since Shane had showed up that I’d been acting funky. I knew that it wasn’t fair to him. I knew that I was going to have to explain to him where I was coming from. I knew all of that and it made me feel tired and sad. I didn’t want to go back to those sad memories. I didn’t want to go back to the past. It still hurt too much when I thought about it. It still made me want to cry. It still made me feel like I was a lost deer who had never found her way home. However, I knew that I owed it to Scott. I knew that I owed it to him to show him a part of me that was vulnerable. The part of me responsible for turning him away. The part responsible for making me the guarded woman that I was today.

“If you want to, of course.” His voice was low and I could see from his eyes that he was unsure of my reaction to him.

“Yeah, I do.” I touched his shoulder lightly. “Look, I’m sorry for my reaction just now. It’s just been a really really long week.”

“I understand.” He nodded and gave me a kiss on the cheek. “Remember though, this isn’t just about the sex. It’s never just been about that. You mean a lot more to me than that.”

“Thanks, Scott.” I gave him an appreciative smile, my heart racing at his words. “I’m going to try and remember that.
