Worried with how silent he had become, Minerva began to think that she had made a terrible mistake. That she had offended Gideon, and after all that he had been kind and understanding and accepting of her...
Oh buggering fuck.
Minerva's eyes went wide with Gideon's question and she bit her lip. "Oh..."
She looked around nervously. Minerva hadn't anticipated him asking her that.
"Of course I find you very attractive, Gideon. Sexually, physically. I just...oh shite. I didn't think that you wanted more than...oh, Gideon I'm so sorry. I'm such a selfish, stupid woman."
Minerva stood up, putting her arms around her middle. "I didn't think you were interested in me that way. I'm so sorry, I should have thought about that and I didn't."
She walked back and forth between the door and the bed, pushing her hands up into her hair. "See, this is why I don't get involved. I just fuck things up and hurt people."
