Regaining Her Heart

I stood up and slid my hands around her waist, looking deep into her eyes. She wrapped her arms around my neck and reciprocated the eye contact. I felt my heartbeat quicken when her hands moved to my face making me question her next move.

She got even closer to my face, now standing up on her tip toes. Our lips were no more than an inch away, I could feel her breath on my face and our foreheads touched.

"Gio?"

"Principessa?"

"Can we finish the movie?"

This girl will be the death of me.
