                            ~Uthman~            I swallowed at our close proximity. I shouldn't have hugged her. So, you should have just stood there and watched her nearly have a panic attack? I patted her back, smelling her shampoo, her long hair tickled my ears as I started to move back. Jade grabbed my shirt, stopping me from moving away. I stopped. I looked down at where she grabbed my shirt before looking up at her again. Her eyes were still glassy. Glassy from crying. Now, it looks like the sexy kinda glassy. O beere? What are you thinking about? 'Jadeshola, we should......'
