GABI
He takes my hand and proceeds to pull me across the dance floor and over toward one of the buildings that line the lake.
After removing my heels we walk swiftly, hand in hand, to the end of the dock.
At first he is looking toward the lake gazing out at its choppy waters but then he turns to me.
"I'm not an asshole." He says looking at me, a solemn look across his face.
"I didn't say you were one." I questioningly respond.
"I mean, I have been through so much when it has come to women lately and have made so many mistakes. I can't dare make those mistakes with you."
It felt like a sudden shift change, one minute we were dancing and the next he looks almost sad, did I say something wrong?
"Josh now isn't exactly the time we should be talking about this I mean.."
"Then when is a good time. Whenever you step into my apartment I feel like I am going to mess things up. Ususally when you're there you're my employee and even when your not "on the clock" it still feels as if you can't relax."
"Josh I..."
"Gabi, just listen. I want to be with you. I want to care for you, heck I even want to cook for you and I couldn't cook to save my life."
"Yeah I will pass on the burnt tv dinner." I say with a chuckle trying to lighten things up.
"What I am trying to say is I don't think I am good enough for you. You deserve the world. I feel like I'm a fried 95' motherboard and you're a 2015 Top of the line, signature edition Windows PC."
"I don't really know what any of that means but I do know that I want you too."
