Electric Connection

Chapter 3: "Electric Connection"

Lilly couldn't deny the flutter in her chest whenever Alex was near. She had tried to brush it off as mere friendship, but the truth was, she was drawn to him in a way she couldn't explain. As they worked on their project together, Lilly found herself stealing glances at Alex, admiring the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck, or the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled.

She felt a sense of excitement whenever he touched her arm or brushed against her shoulder, and she couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same way. Lilly tried to focus on the project, but her mind kept wandering back to Alex. She found herself thinking about the way he laughed, the way he smiled, and the way he made her feel like she was the only person in the room.

One day, as they were studying at the library, Alex leaned in close to her, his face inches from hers as he pointed out a passage in the book. Lilly's heart skipped a beat as she felt his warm breath on her skin, and she couldn't help but lean in closer, her face inches from his. For a moment, they just looked at each other, the tension between them palpable.

Then, Alex pulled back, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Sorry about that," he said, his voice low and husky. "I didn't mean to get so close." Lilly felt a flush rise to her cheeks as she smiled back at him. "It's okay," she said, trying to sound casual. "I didn't mind." As they packed up their things to leave, Lilly couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. She had no idea what was happening between her and Alex, but she couldn't deny the attraction she felt.

As they walked out of the library, Alex turned to her and asked, "Want to grab some coffee with me?" Lilly's heart skipped a beat as she nodded, trying to play it cool. "Sure, I'd love to." As they walked to the coffee shop, Lilly couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. What would happen next? Would Alex confess his feelings for her? And what about her own feelings? Was she ready to admit them to herself, let alone to Alex?

But what about her parents?

Immediately Lilly thought about them she couldn't help but feel like her heart shattering into a million pieces. This was because she knew how overprotective her parents are and how they always expected her to be perfect.

Which she was thinking about all this she accidentally tripped over a stone. As she was coming closer to the ground she felt a firm hands on her waist preventing her from hitting the floor. She then heard Alex asking her if she was hurt and what she was thinking about.
