I began to cry as he told all of this to me. “I know that I have my problems and people have called me cold hearted but this is how I protect myself and after all of this time I just don’t know when the real thing is coming or if it is just another fool that coming around. I’m sorry Tai but I’m going to need time before I can just jump into this with you. I don’t want to lose the friendship that we have. If you would have asked me last year I would have said yes and part of me wants to say yes now but I have just been hurt too much lately to be able to trust you in that way.” I walked up to him grazed his cheek with my hand, kissed him and left the room. As I waited for elevator, he came out the room after me.
“Lin, I will wait for as long as it takes. You don’t have to make your decision right now. But can you just come back to the room and just chill with me? I’m here for four days and I don’t know anyone here but you. We can just chill as friends and watch a movie or something?”
