'On my waist. Yes. Sure.' the girl blushed a bit but regained her composure rapidly. The music was lovely and she felt a lot lighter. Not to mention that Jory did make things easier.
'I'm curious what you'll think about being me.' Ari chuckled, but at the same time lost her concentration and accidentaly stepped on the boy's foot. 'Jory, are you ok? I'm so sorry!' she panicked.
"Well, it sounds bad saying this but it's probably a good thing they're not alive," Jory said hoping he would not hurt Ari's feelings. "Nope, nothing dramatic except I have an Australian mom and American dad."
Jory turned a bit red as he put his right hand on Ari's waist. But he did feel comfortable with Ari.
"You're not bad," he said to her. And at the same moment Ari's foot came crushing down on his. He let go of her and grabbed his foot. He wondered how someone so small could have such a strong foot.
But after a while the pain subsided. "I'm ok now , don't worry about it," he told Ari who look as if she was about to cry.
