"This is a bit of an odd question, but its been bothering me for awhile."

"...Okay. What?"

"Geavoni, do you like me?"

"Elaborate?"

"I mean like...do you want to kiss me? Be with me?"

"Well, no."

"...."

"I mean, I like spending time with you. I like the conversations that we have. I like being around you."

"...so...what did you mean by no?"

"I don't like being touched, Pierce."

"What does that have to do with being with me?"

"If we were together, I wouldn't want to kiss you, Pierce."

"I can't say my feelings aren't hurt."

"I'm not trying to hurt you; I am trying to tell you to move on. We wouldn't make a good couple."

"Geavoni, I love you. I want to be with you. I don't care what you say; nothing will change my mind."

"Pierce, you're in love with the idea of me. Ha, not me."

"How can you say that?"

"Okay, Pierce, do you love me enough never to have sex again?"

"..."

"Never to be held by me, or hugged, or kissed?"

"Why would you treat me so coldly?"

"I hate being touched. It may feel good to you, but to me, it feels like a thousand red ants exploring my body. It feels like pins and needles being bored into the surface of my skin. It feels like a blazing fire slowly consuming me."

"Even...even sex?"

"I've never had sex, Pierce. The idea, the very thought is disgusting to me. It sounds painful and intrusive. Pushing a part of myself into another human being does not appeal to me. It just sounds disturbing."

"Geavoni, you-"

"We're not a good match, Pierce."

"..."

"We're not a good match."
