Hollie’s heart pounded, and she found herself melting
into the moment. Yet, she pushed Jeremy away when he
moved his hand up her thigh. His hold on her face grew
stronger, and his kisses more wanting. With one big
push against his chest, she was able to get hold of the
door handle and more or less tumbled out
of
the car. Jeremy followed her
outside.
“Hollie,”
he nearly shouted, coming towards her. “Hey, what just
happened?”
With burning fury in her eyes, she tried not to cry in front of him. “What happened? What kind of girl do you think I am?”
Jeremy stepped closer. “Hey,” he said quietly, reaching out for her. “I’m sorry.”
She flinched away from him.
“Leave me be. Just go,” she said and turned around striding to the house with big steps. The tears ran down her face. How dare he insult her by assuming she would be ready for anything more than just a drink? Little by little, her heartbeat slowed down as she heard the car speeding off into the dark night.

Yeah, I did not like it that his hold grew stronger when she pushed his hand away. I think she was totally right to escape his grasp. He may not have meant to disrespect her but I don;t think he has the necessary control.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chelle.
DeleteYeah, I knew he was a creepy sort back at the bar. Great snippet, Iris, and I'm glad she got away.
ReplyDeleteHaha ... thanks Siobhan!
DeleteWell Jeremy sure misjudged the situation. Glad she was able to get away. Tense snippet but good!
ReplyDeleteHe did, didn't he. Glad you liked it, Veronica.
DeletePoor thing. Men just don't get it sometimes. I'm glad she was able to get out of the situation before he pushed things too far. Great snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. And yes, agree.
DeleteGood for her! Poor old Jeremy didn't get it did he?
ReplyDeleteNope .... :-) Thanks Elaine.
DeleteA frightening moment for her! Glad he backed off.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dianne. I appreciate you stopping by.
DeleteWhat the hell! I don't think I like him. Actually I think I don't like him at all. So the first impression at the bar was right.
ReplyDeleteHmm ... not quite right ... we'll wait and see (◕‿◕)
DeleteHa! I knew not to trust him. Good for her. Now, will he learn from this?
ReplyDeleteLOL ... (◕‿◕) ... Let's see.
DeleteSo glad she got away. I'm with PT- does he learn from this? Not sure I liked how his hold tightened when she tried to push him away.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen. Let's hope she's learnt from it :-)
DeleteThere's quite a lot going on in this scene. Things are not as they seem... I think.
ReplyDeleteYou might think right ... thanks for stopping by, Jeff.
