It's alarming how a decision, or words spoken just seconds ago, can be regretted the next second.

Perhaps 'regret' is too nice of a word for it. I think 'aversion' is the right word.

What was I thinking? What the hell did I just get myself entangled in? Who knew, this might be her plan all along, lure me with her false vulnerability, and then make me vulnerable as well?

I couldn't be sure, but were it all false, I would give it to her, the girl deserves an Oscar.

Had I been too blinded by trust that I didn't see that she could be fooling me? She may appear innocent and all, but this was the same girl who had challenged and wagged her tongue at me, just a few days ago.

She couldn't have changed in such a little amount of time. It was impossible, people like her can never change.

This had to be a ploy and I think I'm right at the center of her web. Too caught to ever retract my steps or save myself.
