She felt his warm breath on her shoulders. His grip was so firm that she couldn't wriggle out of it, no matter how hard she tried to. So she caved in and stood still in his arms. As time passed, his heavy breaths slowed down and so did his thumping heart, which she could feel and hear pretty loud and clear. Slowly he loosened his grip for he realized how tightly he was holding her.
He released his left arm which was gripping her hands tightly and saw his finger marks on her pale white skin. He immediately got irritated with himself and turned her around slowly and asked,
"Does it hurt?"
"No", she said and hung her head low.
"Why did you flirt with Trent, Katherine?".
She looked down and mumbled.
"To make you jealous".
"Why on earth would you do that?"
"Because the entire Valentine's day week went by and you were not even interested in celebrating it with me and even mocked the whole concept of it".
He took a step back and sat back on the bed.
