\u201cAh, yes. Sorry. That\u2019s what I meant though.\u201d Tony had to agree with her about emotions being deceptive, and he nodded along with her at that. He watched her face, noting that she was having a hard time meeting his gaze, but the reason behind it didn\u2019t click.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat part of me wants you. I have to stop myself because you\u2019re too good for me.\u201d He looked down, wetting his lips. \u201cI want to prove to you that you\u2019re desirable for just being yourself, because you are\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The flush shot up into her face so fast her ears rang. Summer had to swallow hard and remind herself to close her mouth. \u201cYou could have any girl in the world just for asking.\u201d She could not help herself; she looked down at her hands, limp and shaking slightly in her lap.

Tony wanted to reach over and touch her, and he did make a move to do so, but he restrained himself. Barely. He put his hands on his knees and squeezed them to keep them busy. Because she was too good for him, like he\u2019d said. \u201cYeah\u2026\u201d He answered lamely, not knowing what to say.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I suppose that’s better than ‘you’re not my type,’” she whispered, starting to knot her fingers together. He wanted her. He wanted her, and he wasn’t going to do anything about it, and hide behind this excuse of her goodness. In the end, how was that any different than not being good enough? Their burgeoning friendship would struggle under it, if her past told true.<\/p>\n

She wanted to run away, but first she had to do something about this burn in her chest all of a sudden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
