I couldn't believe what I just heard, I widened my mouth as he looked at me with his nervous eyes. His nose and mine are only a few inches from each other. Joel's aquamarine eyes stare at my fiery one. He touched the back of my hand with his silky fingers. The skies are full of stars, like a flashlight shining on us.
Our breath became ragged as he approached my lips, his warm hand brushing the surface of my cold hand.
"The stars will be our witness" he mumbled quietly.
Joel tried to mumble quietly, but I could hear what he said clearly. When our lips were about to touch, I backed away from him almost immediately. Joel looked somewhat shocked at my reaction, he frowned as he saw my shocked expression.
"I was joking of course" he laughed dryly.
"Oh, really?" I put down my hand on my lap uncomfortably.
