.......... Jess ......... Tyson becomes rigid in the kiss but doesn’t instantly push me away, and just then, a loud voice screams in my head, asking me what I’m doing. I break the kiss and let him go before my words tumble out, apologizing for what I just did while trying to explain why I did it. But I can’t, and instead, I turn around just as opens his mouth to speak and bolt out of the door, leaving him standing there dumbfounded. I slide inside the elevator and urgently press the ground floor button, my heart still beating fast. If someone saw me, they would think I was being chased by a person, not knowing I was being chased by my own racing mind as I scold myself. After what feels like forever, the elevator finally opens, and I rush toward my car, glad there aren't any papara
