"That's not helping. You're using my situation to your advantage." She whispered harshly to the man who was causing her blood to boil. "You don't have any right to insinuate that there was something between us." Founding herself in a very complicated situation.
She was sure that many people saw the stunt that he just pulled. Kissing her in front of all the guests. She could not wait for the scrutiny that would follow this little show that they managed to display.
She also hated herself for allowing it to happen. She could have pushed him and slapped him. Instead, she just let him kissed her. But not just that, she felt herself melting to that kiss. A few seconds more, she was sure that she was about to respond.
If she was being honest, she was also glad to see Nick's expression after that kiss. It was clear that he was not happy with what just happened. For the first time, she felt good to see Nick squirmed uncomfortably in his place and out of words.
