I remained frozen and from the back of my mind, I could hear panicked gasps from Taylor and Josh. My mouth opened and closed but nothing came forth.
Staring at him from this position, with me splayed at his feet and him staring down at me, made me get a quick flashback of the scene that I had walked into last night at the party. That made color flood my cheeks at once as I instantly averted my gaze while my heart raced. He was regarding me like I was some irrelevant dirt which he had mistakenly stepped on, which has now ruined his entire day.
I held my breath in fright, waiting for a solid kick to my chest or something. His scent was so strong, clouding my lungs in waves now that I was currently in such close proximity to him.
A few seconds passed and nothing came forth. When I glanced up at him once again, he wasn't staring at me any longer. Instead, he was walking past me without a word.
I let out a long stuttered breath of relief once he was gone. I stared down at my hands, not knowing what to make of that encounter.
Taylor and Josh were beside me almost immediately, helping me to my feet. Josh had a horrified look on his face and all the color had drained from Taylor's face.
Taylor looked me up and down as he rubbed my arm. "Are you okay?" He demanded worriedly and I cleared my throat while nodding my head.
"Yeah, I think so." I whispered in response.
"What were you thinking? Why would you walk into Blaze of all people?" Taylor demanded and right now, his fingers were massaging his forehead as he paced around a little.
I swallowed a little while trying to not think of the frightened shiver that had coursed through my veins when he had peered down at me.
