I promised myself I wouldn't do this but apparently can't help it

Sacha came in dropping his bag by the door.
"Hang it up you slob" Jac called from the living room
Sacha picked it up wondering how she had the super power that could see through walls. He smiled to himself walking through to her
"Christ Jac, Bad day?" He said eying the empty wine bottle and the half empty one she was currently pouring from
"Wine. Sit"
"Ok so really bad day then"
"Worst ever"
"What happened?"
"Fletch"
"I'm sorry?"
"Urgh that fucking man"
"Okaaay" Sacha said giving her time to continue
"Fletch's dad came in again. His lungs are fucked. When he was in before we thought he had Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency . His own dad died of it apparently"
"Shit poor Fletch"
Jac rolled her eyes at him and took another slug of wine
"He hasn't got it" she paused "before we knew that I may have said to him that if he was going to mess Fletch around then he should go sooner rather than later. I told him that if he broke Fletch's heart, I would rip his out"
"Subtle as a sledge hammer Naylor"
Another eye roll
"So when he came in today that all came out and Fletch was furious with me for not telling him"
"Ah"
"No no that's not why it's been the worst day"
"Right"
"All day after that Fletch was telling me that I cared about him and his family and that we were close, that he thought we should be more than friends. He wanted to talk. I said no. I said I didn't want to him to ask me out when it looked like he was going to"
"Carry on"
"Well then he took up residence on the sofa in my office until I agreed to talk. He said he could see beyond my coldness and liked what he saw. Liked it a lot"
"Oh Jac That's lovely"
"I said 'don't do this Fletch' and then I pulled him in for a kiss"
"Jac.."
"Twice" Jac interrupted
"That's great"
"And then" she cringed "I pushed him away, telling him I didn't want that, didn't want him. That he wasn't good enough for me"
"Oh Jac you didn't"
"Yep. Classic Naylor"
"What are you going to do"
Jac put her head in her hands
"I don't know. You should have seen his face Sacha"
"Well I'm not surprised"
"The thing is Sacha, it's me that's not good enough not him. I'm poison"
"Do you like him?"
"Course I bloody like him. A lot. I wouldn't be in this state otherwise"
"I don't know what to do"
