Chapter 36: Lunch with her parents III
Geoffrey grabbed Emily's arms only to pull away from her and distance himself at arm's length. "Stop that, do not let your emotions cloud your judgement. You might regret this later."
"See? You're already pulling away from me. You do not want me anymore. It has not even been a few minutes since you gave me those words." Emily whined; she could not stop herself. She just wanted him to coax her earlier.
Geoffrey felt guilt creeping at him. "It's not that, but we both need to think this through, specially you. You are a lady. Do you really want this for yourself?"
Emily felt that at the very least, she still got Geoffrey back, so she nodded. "I'm sorry, it's just that, I always have these anxieties in my head. I truly want to be with you, but at the same time, I am afraid of the future. Yet, I am more afraid to lose you. Please do not let go of my hand." She said while trying to keep her tears at bay.
