[Sam]

The moment she placed her arms around him, he was lost in the intoxicating way she dipped her head, and how without hesitation, she gently placed her lips apon his.

he couldn't help but stand there, frozen in place.

One...two...three...

the seconds passed, and all he could do was let her express how she felt, while he kept himself morally confused.

Four...Five...Six...

She was worried, why wasn't he responding? perhaps he was too shocked to answer? No...he could've seen this coming, if only he had payed attention to her...if only he had noticed her more.

Seven...Eight...Nine...

She tightly held her eyes shut, pouring all of her emotions into one simple kiss, and yet...he wouldn't move. she felt as if she were being ripped to shreds.

Oh...

he didn't feel the same.

Realization hit her horribly.

Ten...Eleven...Twe-

She finally pulled back, eyes narrowed softly, and she let go of him.

His eyebrows knitted, he stared at her, as a couple moments passed, she finally spoke, trying to hide the hurt in her voice.

"Sorry"

she mearly whispered.

"It's Cool"

he replied.
