Where the heart belongs

"Look at how hard it's beating " He said grabbing hold of my hand and placing it on my own heart, not letting go of my hand again.

I lowered my gaze from his eyes and settled them on my hand held by his.

"Oh, don't feel embarrassed, here..." He shifted my hand upon his heart, which was beating erratically. Perhaps, even harder than mine.

"This is the effect of your presence near me." He said causing me to lower my eyes.

"Not just now suddenly but from quite a while" He added gaining my gaze yet again.
