Heartbeat

"Zain, don't touch me" She said and pushed at my chest. "I need to explain" I begged walking towards her. "I don't want to talk about it right now" she mumbled. "I do" I said quickly taking another step towards her. "Why?" she asked quickly taking a step back. "Tash, stop moving away from me and don't tell me not to touch you, because I have to!" I blabbed. Zain calm down I thought to myself, but in this moment of time, I wasn't myself. "Why" she asked again. "Because I can't bear you being so close yet so far away from me, I can't stand not being able to talk to you, I can't tolerate you ignoring me, I just can't!" I said looking towards her. "Why" she asked again. "What why, Tasha, what do you mean why, is that all you're going to ask me. Why? You know why? "You want me to tell you why. Because I love you, that's why" I blurted out. I looked at her. She was looking at me, shock on her face evident. Shit did I just tell her that I loved her, Shit, double shit.
