he pushed away from the counter and stepped towards her then stopped. what was he doing?

Her heart had lept just at his movement, her mind immidiately loosing all thoughts of being careful, but he stopped and they rushed back, he had more self restraint than her she knew it.

he steoped closer then his hands rested ever so gently on he rknewws. STOP! is brain screamed....how had he doen it with Briana holding him on shuch a far leash? he didnt' know but this...Cam was in the other room. he had to kepe from runing in there and...he had to do something

Her heart went haywire. She had fallen for him so badly, all he had to do was walk toward her and she would alarm any doctor who strapped her to a heart monitor. She looked into his eyes, barely breathing.

he reched up and gently touched her cheek then his fingers slipped o her neck, to those yellowing bruises.

She stayed still until she realised her lungs were screaming at her to breath, she tried to make in inconspicuous, she barely parted her lips but the release in pressure caused her to gasp.

blane pulled his hand away," did I hurt you?"

"No," she blushed deeply, "I forgot to breath," she mumbled, what a way to kill a moment.

he chuckled, " oh I see," that had never been a response he had heard before. he didnt' trturn his hand to her skin but he didnt back away either

"Sorry," she mumbled again, she felt so stupid.

he smiled, " for what?" he asked

"Ruining the moment," she replied, glancing up.

he shook his head, and tucked som hair behind her ear, "no...you didn't." there was no moment to ruin....he had been forcing himself not to think of Cameron so for him...it was good

"Thanks," she said slightly sarcy.

he shook his head, " don't worry about it."
