Stephen was staring at her face. His crush was now in his arms, close to him. His heart started racing. One of his hands was wrapped around her waist and the other kept her hand in its grip. With the great force that Stephen pulled her towards himself, her other hand slapped his chest.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah," she was breathing heavily, and she gulped. "Thank you."
"You are welcome," he smiled at her.
Journee tried to get away from his grip, but he was holding her tightly. "Um… Stephen, I am okay now, let me go."
"What? Right!" scoffed Stephen and loosened his grip.
Journee stepped away from him and gulped. "Okay, I… will see you later." She turned around and started walking away. But Stephen was not ready for that. He again grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
