Breathe Quinn, breathe.

I reminded myself as he leaned even closer. A smirk slid across his lips as he quietly began speaking-

"Do I make you nervous... pumpkin?"

"N-no." I replied, slowly shutting my eyes as a wave of dizziness and goosebumps rushed over my body.

"Your body tells me otherwise" he said in a raspy tone, suddenly pushing himself off the side of the house, taking a step backward before he began chuckling.

Great Quinn, your nosey ass just had to find out where the music was coming from. Now you're about to get your head bit off by hands down the most breathtaking guy you've ever laid eyes on. Pft sweet. 

While subconsciously smacking myself in the forehead, my thoughts interrupted-

"No seriously, what are the hell are you doing on the side of my house" he snapped, giving me a pointed look.

Great, how do we get out of this one Quinn?!
