I feel frantic. Jeremy is staring at me, and I can't take it any longer. Murder attempts might not send him running, but a confession of feelings might. Why did I tell him that he meant everything to me? We've only just met! I am an idiot. I square my shoulders. "Forget I said that." I make my way down the hall. "Alex, stop!" he demands. His tone sends an icy chill down my spine, but it only fuels my anger. I stop and shake my head with my back still to him. I don't want to respond. Haven't I said too much already? I can sense him coming up behind me, and his arms come around my waist, bringing me close. His lips brush against my ear. He feels so good. I close my eyes, concentrating on the bare skin of his chest against me. It's warm and comforting, even through the shirt I'm wearing. His humid breath runs down the nape of my neck, calling my whole body to attention. "Jeremy," I whine. As much as his embrace is soothing, I rather enjoy festering in my anger, as weird as that sounds.
