You Can Count On Me // Andreas Wellinger

Part 9.2 ~ You Leave Me No Choice

A/N: I've been so excited about finally posting this part! There's a little surprise so make sure you read it to the end and pleaseee let me know how you feel about this part. Enjoy! 💜

Although it was rather chilly, Andi still brought a few blankets just in case they wanted to stop somewhere for a bit. They decided to bring the husky with them, they also dropped by at the shop to grab some snacks so they had something to munch on if they got hungry. After all they didn't have a specific destination so who knew how long their trip would last.

Maja slipped off her shoes and brought her legs up to her chest as she watched the scenery out of the window. She couldn't help, but think about how easily she agreed to going on a road trip and spending more time with Andi. Before he came, she was certain she didn't want to be around anyone, but the way Andreas comforted her made her feel like she was no longer alone.

The girl turned her head towards the blond as she heard soft humming coming from him. She frowned a little, since she didn't recognise the beginning of the song playing on the radio. He must have felt her eyes on him because he glanced over at her with a small smile.

"It's a song from me to you," he chuckled, turning up the volume.

She stared at him a bit puzzled, but that's when the boy broke out into the song. She finally recognised it as Count On Me by Bruno Mars.

Maja hid her face in her hands, shaking her head. Let's just say that Andi didn't belong to people with the best singing voice.

She lifted her head when he poked her thigh to get her attention. He knew what he was doing, he was trying his best to at least make the girl smile a little.

"You can count on me like 1, 2, 3, I'll be there.." He sang the chorus, making the girl cringe internally.

"Oh lord, please stop singing or I will cry again, but this time it'll be because of your singing!" She cried out, only making him laugh more. He poked her again and this time they made eye contact. He lost hope for a smile, but then she awarded his efforts with a small smile. She couldn't keep a straight face when he was being so adorable.

"You're an idiot Milka," she stated with a quiet sigh.

"Oh yeah, I know." He simply shrugged, a grin crawling onto his face. She was ready for a cheeky remark from him. "But I'm the best idiot you ever met." There it was. She was aware it wasn't much of a false statement either and the fact she didn't deny it, Andi took as a sign of victory.

They drove around for hours, listening to music and talking about random crap that came to their heads. Maja found it surprisingly soothing and the boy's company was really helping her to feel a little more at ease.

"You know I'm really thankful for what you're doing for me, right?" She asked, her gaze fixed on the mountain which they were currently driving by.

He looked at her for a second and smiled. "And you know how you can thank me?" He asked casually.

She instantly turned her head to look at him after hearing his words. "Well I'm a bit worried, but go on," she replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Please bring back that gorgeous smile of yours," Andi pleaded, before returning his eyes back onto the road.

Maja smiled as if on request, but turned her head away towards the window. If anything, he would be the one who brought back the smile onto her face. Andi caught a glimpse of her smile and his eyes lit up.

"Hey, since when are you so shy?" He chuckled, gently taking one her hands as he kept his other hand on the wheel.

"I've been shy forever, Andi! You just never compliment me like that!" She pointed out, making a frown appear on the boy's face.
