Awkward silence — Description

We kept stock still, droplets dripping from above. Between the patter of rain and distant voices, my heart rumbled. I could feel Jessie’s beating just as fast. Every few seconds she’d steal a glance from the corner of her eye, her breaths dancing off my chin. I braced against the wall, trying to hide the tremor it stirred. Even then my gaze drifted, mesmerized by the raindrops trickling down her jaw. Jessie’s throat rippled as she swallowed, pushing trails of rain to her collarbones. My hand was only inches away, suddenly consumed with a desire to brush them away.
