Him and Her

"Are you interested at all?" she queried.
He looked away, pretending he was paying attention to something else…anything else.
She was determined though.
He sighed.
His answer wasn’t what she was looking for though.
She narrowed her eyes and anything he said automatically sounded stupid.
He knew it too.
He wanted her.
She wanted him.
But he was a mess and he knew it.
He didn’t want to hurt her.
He wanted her to understand.
She did but it still hurt anyway.
They weren’t happy.
But they were friends.
“What if I found someone else?” she smiled with her lips but not with her eyes.
He looked hurt; almost broken.
She nodded in agreement and walked away, not looking back.
They were still friends.
But things had changed.
