Snippet #1218812

Jahi was still beating herself up.
He sounds just like Zeinor... The things he says, the way he says it. That's the only reason why I had wanted to kiss him. No. Other. Reason.
-Oh please. You know enough about him to at least have a crush. You've been stalking him for how long?
-No. I can't like him. And I don't. That would be completely irrational. In fact, that is completely irrational.
-Rational thoughts have nothing to do with relationships. You should know that by now.
"Completely irrational..." She mumbled under her breath.
"Jahi. Something still vexes you. Would you mind if I asked?"
"Wait. What?" Jahi snapped out of her mixed emotions.
"Oh. I'm just thinking about things. Just... Ugh." She sighed, and clenched her fists.
"I made a promise to be honest so...." Biting her lip, she built up her courage.
"You sound like someone I had previously been in a relationship with. So I sorta might've wanted to kiss you because of that. Also, I had this weird idea that you had actually wanted to kiss me. But then I heard you say Eva and I realized that of course it wouldn't have been me you wanted to kiss, but the other girl. I don't blame you. It's extremely stupid and irrational, I know." She spoke extremely fast and blended her words together, making it extremely hard to understand her.
"There. I said it."
Jahi didn't know why she was acting this way around him. With any other man she would have been fine. But now she was acting like a love-sick middle schooler. There was something different, or off about this guy, that made her feel different. She couldn't put her finger on it.
