Seth could almost taste her, she was so close, he had her she was caught up in him and suddenly she was gone. He opened his eyes and saw her walking away. Damn it, too much. But he saw the flush in her cheeks...she wanted to come back over and just do it. She wanted it...badly. He had to fight the wicked smirk from coming to his face.
At her statement of not understanding Seth raised his eyebrows giving the concerned act. Show her that he was totally innocent in this. Just a man fighting feelings he should have, oh what a tortured soul was he. The whole forbidden love angle, girls could never resist that. Seth had to fight a chuckle at her argument of him being him and her being just her. But he locked his eyes with her but didn't move towards her,
"I think you sell yourself too short Fi, you were always a beautiful girl and you've grown into an even more beautiful young woman. And it is more than just the way you look Fi, you have maturity that makes me sometimes forget that you're just nineteen." He released the hold on his chair and took a cautious step towards her, "Most girls who I used to teach when they come back to see old teachers and stuff come back in this skimpy little outfits and prance around me thinking I'm going to suddenly realized that they are the love of my life or something. But you weren't like that. You came in...looking like a grown up." He took another step, "Now I know that you may look at me as just the man whose name you used to scrawl in your journal. That I was what you saw as an unattainable crush and I know you may have moved past it. I know I shouldn't be having these feelings for you Fi, but I don't think you realize how completely you have enchanted me with everything you are." He took the final step to be right next to her again and stroked her cheek with the back of his fingers,
"I don't want to pressure you into anything Fi, just say the word and I'll back off." Sure, he said he would, but he knew she wouldn't say that word...she couldn't. He had just spun such pretty words together, the words every girl had wanted to hear from him at one point or another. He painted the perfect picture of a tortured soul in love with someone he shouldn't. Forbidden love...perfect.
