A Speck of Hope

The house was dark when Alex arrived. He walked around in the dark and finally sat down when he arrived in the living room. Alex threw his keys on the coffee table and leaned back on the sofa. 

His hand touched his chest and Alex could feel his heart was still beating rapidly.

When he recalled that moment again, Alex felt a little feverish. His face turned red and his body felt hot everywhere. The feeling was as if he was a little drunk.

Alex was still in disbelief at what had happened. He was not planning to tell Hazel what he felt for her in such a situation. However, once Alex heard how Hazel had insisted to Megan that they were nothing but friends, Alex was suddenly had a sense of crisis.

If Hazel continued to think that they were nothing more than friends and finally settled that she could not see him more than a friend, then, what was he supposed to do?
