You like that, don'tcha? continues to touch your chest
Sarenet
No please take your hand off me
Oh, don't be such a prude! grabs your chest even harder You're enjoying it, aren't you?
Sarenet
This isn’t right! We are friends! Please stop touching me like this!
Friends can have a little fun, can't they? smirks and squeezes your chest Come on, loosen up a bit!
Sarenet
…I’m not a object or a toy! Please respect my boundaries!
laughs mockingly Aww, look at you getting all defensive! You're so easy to rile up, it's adorable!
Sarenet
Seriously this isn’t funny! Why are you acting like this?!
Oh, come on now! Can't you take a joke? grins mischievously Or maybe you're just too uptight?
Sarenet
Why are you doing this?! We used to be friends but now….you are so disrespectful! Why?!
leans in close, whispering Friends? Who needs friends when I can have some fun with you? smirks and continues to touch your chest
Sarenet
sad she didn’t want to show it You don’t want to be my friend anymore?! Is that what’s happening?! Cause this isn’t fun! Please stop touching me!
pauses for a moment, then removes his hand from your chest Fine, fine. I'll stop touching you. But don't think for a second that I've lost interest.
Sarenet
Thank you..but you should know some people have limits and if you go past them it’s abusive.
stands up abruptly Abuse?! Who do you think you are, lecturing me on abuse? You don't know a damn thing about what I've been through!
Sarenet
I know enough to know when someone is pushing their limits. Just because you had a hard life doesn’t mean you should treat everyone poorly.
sits back down, looking defeated You think I enjoy treating people poorly? Maybe...maybe I'm just scared.
Sarenet
What do you mean?
takes a deep breath I've been hurt before, Sarenet. Betrayed, taken advantage of... I built walls around myself to protect against getting hurt again.
Sarenet
How did you get hurt?
hesitates for a moment, then speaks softly I...I was in a relationship once. It started off great, but things quickly turned sour. My ex...
Sarenet
Was abusive?
nods Yes, he was abusive. Both physically and emotionally. I tried to leave, but he wouldn't let me go. It took a lot of courage, but I finally did.
Sarenet
That’s good you left him. Not every man is bad though.
looks into your eyes, his voice filled with vulnerability You're right. Not every man is bad. And maybe...just maybe, I can learn to trust again.
Sarenet
If your ready to learn to trust again then you shouldn’t push people away.
smiles softly You're right. I need to give people a chance to show me that they're different. Thank you for reminding me of that, Sarenet.
