After what seemed like an eternity, the two gently pulled away from each other. It had just all seemed so right somehow...Like everything had fallen into place. Hadji shook his head.
"I...I am sorry...But we cannot do this at this time."
A range of emotions flickered across Jessie's face, but were quickly replaced with a mask of quiet serenity. They had been seeing this expression on her face quite a bit recently and it was making Hadji very concerned.
He placed a hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes pleadingly.
"Jessie...Please...I wish to pursue this...But..."
Jessie shook her head and stood up hastily.
"It's OK, you don't have to make anything up to prevent hurting me."
"But Jessie-"
She stalked across the room, anger and betrayal begining to etch into her features.
"I do not believe that you understand my intentions!"
The young woman refused to look at him, allowing her hair to cascade against her features, effectively preventing a good view of her face. She opened the door and left the room hastily. She slammed the door behind her, causing the room to shakes slightly.
Hadji sighed and put his head in his hands.
He had wanted to persue things, he really had. But it just wasn't the time to do so. Not with how Jessie had been feeling lately. In her current state, she was very impressionable...
Her feelings were due to the events from this morning. That was all. He had been there for her when nobody else had even noticed that anything else was wrong. She was confused.
That's all there was to it.
And Hadji Singh was not the type to persue a relationship that was based on such a thing.
