"Why are you scared?"

"Scared? What do you mean scared?" He asked.

"You're scared." I said. "No I'm not. What's there to be scared off?"

"Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm sure I'm right." I started.

"You're in love with me, Darrel Curtis. But, it seems to me that a relationship with a woman you're insanely in love with until you invite them to watch the sunset on the hills, isn't something you should have right now because you're already struggling with your own business and you're afraid to get your heart broken." I said.

He let out an airy chuckle. "Wha- what is this? I'm not in love with you. I just wanted to show you my favorite view of the sunset." He said.

"I'm no stupid broad, Darrel. I know more than you think."

He sighed and finally admitted.

"I guess you could say that." He breathed.

"You seem like a great person but a break up or a heartbreak is the last thing I want at the moment." He said.

I patted his back. "Well, I'm not gonna lie I find you great as well." I said.

"You do?" He questioned.

"Yes I do. You're a good man. Doing the best you can for your family and I must say that's one thing I look for in a man." I said, making him smile.

"It's alright to be scared sometimes. I'm scared most of the time too."

"Of what? I've never seen you so scared of things. You don't have some reaction too."

"Oh it's just how I get scared. I am scared but I don't exactly jump I just speak my reaction although it did scare me."

"Wow that's very unusual." He said.

"Yeah I know."

"Well, now it's just your decision. I mean, I've got mine and I feel like we could date but I don't mind if you want time. Or even if you found a better person." I said.

"No you're am amazing person already. I haven't met anyone better than you, honestly." He said. "Why thank you."

He sighed, "I think I need some time."

"No worries. But I'm not waiting for you. You can't get jealous when I'm with other boys." I teased.

He nudges me making me giggle.

"You know, I probably will be jealous." He said, making me laugh harder.
