"Ru Wen, I sleep with women only for the pleasure, that's it. There's no emotion for me when I took them and there never has been!" I yelled as a single tear fell from her eye.
"I seduce them, use them, slept with them. After that leave them. Is that what you want to hear? Is that how you want me to treat you? You're different, and you've scared me. You make me feel the things that I've never felt before. You're all I think about, both day and night. I feel empty inside whenever you're not around."
"Don't you understand? It isn't supposed to be this way, and if I sleep with you, this friendship of us will all be ruined."
Suddenly, the fear was gone from her eyes, and it was replaced by empathy. And I couldn't look at her anymore because of the tears, and it was tearing me apart doing this to her.
"What happened to you that made you this way?" She asked in a soft whisper.
