บท 131: The kiss and the embarrassment

The kiss between Hoy and Joreen was chaste and gentle. There was no mouth prying or tongue twirling or lip nibbling. His soft lips were gently pressed to hers for a minute before he slowly opened his eyes to see her watching him in shock. Her eyes were very wide and she looked stiff. 

He was still holding her face as he slowly pulled away, looking quite uncertain. 

He had only meant to give her gentle pecks, he didn't know when he lost it and touched her lips with his. He had always thought she had a small mouth, but he hadn't expected it to be very soft. He wanted to feel it again but it seemed like it was a bad idea since she still looked so shocked.

They were both quite so the only sound they heard was of a pounding heart. He was confused since he couldn't tell if it was his or hers. Or maybe the two was pounding in sync?

"Jo?" He called her name softly.
