Trapped
I stammered, trying to find the right word.
"Yes, or No," he asked, cutting me off.
"I- I...Please"
"I said Yes or No Jasmin". I could tell he was getting impatient.
"Y-Yes". There's no reason to lie anymore, he already knew the answer.
His whole demeanor changed as something shifted inside him. I take a step back at his animosity, not sure how to take it. Grabbing hold of my wrists, he pulls my body back and gives me an unanticipated strike across my cheek, making me stumble, but I am able to regain my balance before I could fall.
