Emily looked... seriously pretty today.
Jarrod watched from the side, feeling awkward as he took in the cozy scene unfolding in front of him. Was Kenneth trying to put him through this on purpose?
“All done,” Emily said.
She had just finished applying the ointment and was about to stand up and leave when a hand settled on her waist, gently pushing her back down.
“Ah!” Her small frame toppled straight into Kenneth’s arms. Her back pressed up against his chest, and she could feel how hot he was, his heartbeat loud and uneven.
“Falling into my arms again?” Kenneth’s face was all charm as he glanced at Emily, then flicked his gaze over to where Jarrod wore a sour look. “Are you doing this on purpose?”
“I...”
Kenneth let out a low laugh. “Or am I the one doing it on purpose?”
Emily was at a loss for words. Her cheeks burned bright red.
Kenneth was definitely turning on the charm today.
“Emily, it’s time for the red carpet,” Jarrod said, his voice cold.
“Let go!” Emily scrambled out of Kenneth’s arms, flushed and a little breathless.
“I’ll be waiting for your explanation,” Kenneth teased, letting her go. His lips curled in a smile as he watched her grab her skirt and rush out of the room.
She was even cuter when she was embarrassed.
What was he supposed to do? She was just so adorable. He couldn’t help but want to kiss her.
