“I Love You” Chapter 17 PT.2

My nervousness to get away turned me clumsy, should I pretend that I have fainted, no I can’t nor can I continue in this awkward embrace with this gentleman. Soon-Yi jumped to her feet quickly, instead of helping me, I could hear her giggling off to the left. Unable to make eye contact with this stranger that held me so tenderly to keep me from fully falling, I lowered my eyes towards his chest in embarrassment and inhaled his sent; mmmm… he uses red lavender. As reality crept back to my brain I found my balance and quickly pushed myself away from him… oh what have done. I bowed three times apologizing still not meeting his gaze. Dropping to my knees to pick up my belonging that had fallen to the floor, an unfamiliar female voice called out to him,

“Mr. Kim is everything alright?”

       His voice was deep but so soft as he spoke to this woman my heart felt as if it was going to stop.

This man could be his twin. So tall and lithe is the man standing before that my eyes meet his chest. A chest that, despite being hidden beneath a well tailored suit one could tell was perfectly defined. His hair was groomed perfectly with every strand in its place that shaped his face like a glove. His eyes were bright and when we made eye contact they sparkled with a warm glow.”

My name escaped his lips again, I was captivated, those eyes, (talk about being stuck) His is lips turn into slow grin, exposing his perfectly white teeth. Thump…thump…thump…thump…thump…thump, it’s going to fast and…and…
