I feel Andreas place his hands on my hips and we're so close it's actually making my heart beat so fast. "Andre-" I start to say. "Shhh schätzchen" he says softly in his thick accent. I stand completely stuck looking up at him. I couldn't stop thinking about how good he looked and how close we were. "I really want to kiss you" I hear him say as he stares down at my lips.
