“I want you so much it scares me,” I say in a rush before my fear stops me. “The way I feel about you terrifies me.” I train my eyes on his Jordans because I can’t look at him. “I’m afraid you’ll cheat on me, take advantage of me, and that I won’t know how to stop wanting you. I’m afraid I’ll settle for less than I deserve because I’d take whatever you’d give me.”
