Closer, and even bigger, she looms over me as I stumble over my words, talking in circles. It's not very convincing, but I just can't bring myself to tell her the truth. I stand there shakily, my knees knocking together, feeling so exposed, on the edge of a cliff.
"Y-yeah...So if y-you just wanna set that s-somewhere out of th-the way, I can d-deal with it t-tomorrow." Stammering, sweating nervously, I back away from her, suddenly intimidated by her height. And it seems to help, my mind feeling clearer, though I do end up falling into the couch, hitting the back of my knees against the seat.
how will she react to that...will she believe me? Why am I backing away from her? She's a girl, a ditzy, needy girl...
"errr...you clean, I w-watch?" I offer weakly.
