in too deep

"I know I might not have done a good job of showing how I feel about you, Care. But, you have to know that I do feel it. I've felt it since I first met you."

I stand still, the rain pouring down on me, unable to move or speak. He steps even closer to me, so close that his scent invades my senses and makes it even harder for my mind to focus.

"How can you stand here and say this, after everything? After I gave you a chance and you pushed me away?" I ask, my blue eyes searching his green ones.

"I didn't want to believe it, to let you in that way. I didn't think it could be good for either of us." his right hand raises and he slowly pushes my wet hair out of my face and then leaves his palm resting against my cheek. His thumb runs over my cheek and part of my mouth and I feel the breath get caught in my throat.

"But, I'm in too deep babe."
