From a purely technical legal point of view you committed both assault and battery. What is relevant is what the victim reasonably believed was happening when you behaved as you did.
Having said that the assault, such as it was, was minor and, if prosecuted, would in all probability incur nothing more than a slap on the wrists. However, continued contact with her is inadvisable and would be seen as exacerbating and escalating the situation.
