"Lily!" I called her name softly, then quickly leaned over, lowering my head to her level.
Lily turned her head without any defenses, her rosy lips accidentally brushing against mine.
She froze for a moment, then let out a scream and quickly stepped back.
Though it was just a brief touch, I could distinctly feel the fragrance and softness of her lips.
Lily stood timidly before me, her cheeks flushed, at a loss for words.
I put on my best innocent face. "Sorry. I swear... I didn't mean to."
Lily glanced at me, tears spilling down her face as she squeezed her eyes shut. Her backpack slid off her shoulder, and she bolted for the elevator, hands pressed to her face.
"Lily, I'm sorry." I picked up her book bag and hurried after her.
The atmosphere in the elevator was suffocatingly awkward.
Lily stared down at her toes, while I silently regretted my actions.
Lily was just too naive!
