Too Close Too Fast

Being alone and needy makes any girl vulnerable. And that was exactly what Kate was. Single and missing her social circle back home was making her insane. She craved for friends whom she could confide in, someone she could talk to, someone who would be available at the call of a button. But she knew better. Friends in this cosmopolitan were hard to come by. Luckily for her Terence always made himself available for he. No matter the occasion, no matter the time, he would always be there. They stayed in two opposite ends of the city still he would be there for her like a dutiful friend. She liked him, liked the fact that he would never leave. He surprised her with cake and flowers on her birthday and that really made her happy. She had thought nobody remembered and he was the one who had, going out of the way and making it special for her. But Kate knew she had to keep distance. She had an ex who had come back to her life. Though she never loved him again after the breakup for he had torn her heart to pieces and now expected her to behave as if nothing had ever happened.

Terence took Kate to all the beautiful places the city had to offer. The beaches, the gardens, the malls, everything. He took off time specially for her. He made her feel special. He made her forget about the ex back home, made her forget about all the complications he life put in front of her. She liked being with him. But they were dangerously close, so close he could hurt with a little finger.
