Of all the places in all the towns...he walked into mine...
On the cab ride home after leaving Lindsey’s office I was fuming. I can’t remember the last time I was so angry. Wait, yes I can. When I confronted Willow about that memory spell she used. That night didn't turn out so great either

I stopped mid-sentence when I saw her, standing there looking so beautiful and pissed off.
"Tara ..."
My mind went back to the kiss, that I ruined. I'd wanted to kiss her, but I shouldn't have, not then, not like that. I kissed her like that because I wanted to kiss her. She got underneath all of my defenses and I hated her for it, but it was like I craved her.
"Mac, This lady has got to be the sweetest woman I've ever met in this town, and I thought you'd never refer anyone to me, said you didn't know any quality people. At least you know one."
I coughed and looked at her quickly. "I'll go get that book for you."
I entered my apartment and retrieved 'The DiVinci Code' for him.

"So you called him. Did you find a place?" I asked honestly. No pretenses. It didn't even occur to me that she could have chosen a place in this building.
"I told you he was a nice guy" I looked at her through hooded eyes. I didn't want to look at her in the eyes, didn't want her to see how sorry I was about the other night.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and sigh, it was that or cry. I held off both. "Yeah, I found a place. It was wonderful..." He looked at me curiously. "Then I found out who lives two doors down...You."
"I told you he was a nice guy"
"Yeah he is. It's nice to meet someone nice in this town finally, it's so filled with rattlesnakes it's a wonder anything nice is left..."
Yes, I was overly rude. I was irritated and upset. I thought I found the perfect apartment. I did, only to find out that Lindsey is a few doors down.
I sigh and look over at him, he wouldn't look me in the eye, he kept glancing at me and then away like some scared rabbit. For a moment I wanted to shake him and tell him to just look at me and spit it out, but I don't. "What?" I sighed and rested my head against the wall. This day wasn't happening.

I saw something flicker in his eyes and my curiosity was getting the best of me. "Lindsey, wa-" I bit my lip and kept quiet. No, I couldn't this just was all wrong. I'm not ready for something intense, whatever this something could lead to be. I'm not in the place where I can take something intense and hard.
"Maybe..." I said finally said in a soft tone, looking down at my ice covered finger. I felt something pulling me inside, not wanting him to leave. But no, this is for the best, we both want it. We both want to be out of each other's lives. That's how it's supposed to be. Right...

I stopped and looked at her. So fragile and beautiful. There was so much I wanted to do. Go over there and kiss her the right way this time. The way I'd really wanted to before.
To tell her everything in my heart, my regrets the dreams I'd never get to fufill because of my own mistakes and stupidity. But that was so much to unload on a woman just starting out in the world.
"Maybe what?" I had two choices here. I could be the man I wanted to be or "maybe I stay for a little rumble in the sack?" I could feel the dagger from her eyes into my heart and I wanted to take it back.
"Tara ..." I stopped. Turned around and walked out the door. I'm a fucking fool.

He said that after staring me for a few moments. Made me uncomfortable again, the way he looked at me at times. It was just unsettling. But there were small moments that I could swear he changed how he looked at me and how he handled himself.
But this was just how he wanted to act. So he did.
I glared at him as I crossed my arms over my chest when he made his remark. He turned and I saw his expression change. He looked like a kicked puppy. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself and decide what exactly I was going to do.
Better question...what did I want to do ( ... )
