Joseph was so shocked at this sudden turn of events that he was frozen for a while. This only made Laura think he was receptive to her kiss, so she became bolder.
Which only made Jospeh panic upon feeling how aggressive she was being.
At first, it was just two lips pressed together but now, she was actually moving her lips about on his.
He hurriedly got free from her hold and grabbed her shoulders as he took a step back. He was slightly forceful this time, since this was getting out of hand.
Unfortunately, Joseph was too flustered to even escape properly as he stumbled and lost his balance. As he felt himself falling backwards, he instinctively wrapped his hands around Laura to protect her.
He fell spectacularly, with Laura falling right on top of him. He was dazed for a bit as he not only fallen down but he had something fall on him as well - the poor, besotted fool who was feeling fine as her fall had been cushioned by him.
