Josie heart dropped when she saw Alex's expression, but what could she say? Sorry, my horrible experiences in the past have made me wary to say it. Well, that wasn't so bad, but then he'd wonder what experiences and that would just open up a can of worms that she really didn't want him to open. Oh my God what if he found out about Riley and that thing with David...
She would be mortified if he heard about that, she'd seem like a giant slut. He'd be wondering why he was dating a girl who's first time was a one night stand. He can never ever know. She glanced back up at him,
"I'm sorry Alex, but I can't say it back, not yet at least, but I do care about you deeply, you do know that right?"
