George could feel his heart beating fast - he was so nervous as the words spilled out of his own mouth. He had kept trying to shut himself up. But then she did it for him. All of a sudden he felt her lips on his and a surge of warmth washed over him.
Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed back. His heart was pounding now not out of nervousness but out of exhilaration. He let the kiss go on for a few moments before pulling back breathlessly.
"Wow," he said, grinning broadly. "Alicia just wow."
