"I was just wondering how you feel about me.. Because..." At this point Demetri broke off his sentence, not sure if he should say how he felt. They had only just met, after all, and he couldn't be sure she might feel the same way.

She smiled, hoping he was going to say what she expected him to. "Well I obviously don't hate you." Jesse moved to the side of him and fell to the ground again. She knew she shouldn't like this tiger, but she almost couldn't help herself... could she? Her mind hurt from thinking.

Demetri just nodded and said softly, "I... like you a lot. I know we just met and you probably don't feel the same way..." Then he found himself staring up at the sky, avoiding her gaze.

She grunted, getting to her feet again. She stood over him and blocked the sky from his view. "If I have to move to meet your gaze, I'm going to get tired real quick." She teased, laughing quietly. "I might like you too..."

Demetri looked at her. "Really?" He smiled a little. "But why? I'm crazy you know. Or so everyone else says. Me, I don't think so. But.." He shrugged.

Jesse hesitated at first, but nuzzled his neck and whispered by his ear, "I don't think you're crazy. Weird, maybe in a good way, but not crazy." She smiled. "Besides, you are what you eat." She added with a tinge of sarcasm.

Smiling, he nuzzled her back. "I'm.. glad I met you." Then he hesitated and said, more to himself than her, "But the last time I fell in love I ended up getting hurt..." Part of him hoped she hadn't heard that. But he felt like the voice in his head was right about him falling in love. Only he didn't want to tell her because he had only just met her.

Idiot. A voice in her head muttered. Jesse had heard him, and knew how he felt. The last time she'd loved someone... he just got up and left, without a word, and ran off with some other girl. "Well if anything, you'll be the one to break my heart." Her smile disappeared. "I know the feeling."

Demetri just nodded slowly. "I wouldn't break your heart. Not on purpose anyway." He looked her in the eyes, with a smile on his face.

She turned away, not wanting him to see the pain in her eyes. She couldn't ignore the ache in her chest that she felt whenever she thought of.. well... anything from her past. "Thanks..." Jesse walked over to the shaded area under a tree and laid down, thinking.

He could sense her sudden sadness. Sitting up, Demetri shifted to his human form, looking over at her. "Somethings upsetting you." It wasn't a question. "You can tell me, you know. If you want.."

She looked at him when he shifted. He was pretty cute, she thought. Shifting to human herself, she looked up at him from the ground. "Just... remembering. Stupid things, really." She ran one of her hands through her long, dark red hair.

Demetri moved tward her, hugging her gently. "If it makes you upset it must not be stupid." He felt himself not wanting to pull back.

"Well..." When he hugged her, she felt so safe. For a minute, she had even forgotten what she had been trying to explain to him. She didn't want him to let go, and soon hugged him back. "I... have a hard time trusting people, mostly."

"Well you can trust me. I don't know if you believe that or not, but you can.." He kept hugging her while he spoke.
