Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: There Are Three Words I Want to Say to You (3)
Amidst the flickering light, the man’s face was also flickering, but his eyes were as bright as stars, shining in her eyes.
Her heart stopped for a moment, then it sped up.
Chongchong pressed her lips together, smiled, and lifted her palm to place it on his.
His palm, broad and warm, gently closed to enclose her fingers. With a slight tug, Chongchong stood in front of him, flustered, her steps stumbling a bit as she almost bumped into him.
The man’s large hand promptly reached out to support her waist, steadying her body.
Raising her face, Chongchong smiled at him sheepishly and lifted her hand to rest it on his waist.
"IwannasayIloveyou, but, babe I’m terrified (I want to say ’I love you’, but babe I’m so scared)
My hands are shaking, my heart is racing (My hands are trembling, my heart is pounding)
Cause it’s something I can’t hide, it’s something I can’t deny (Because this is something I can’t hide, something I can’t deny)
..."
The soothing music was only suitable for a slow dance, embracing and gently swaying.
This wasn’t their first dance, at parties, in the Royal Palace... they had danced many times.
But this time was different from any other.
Perhaps it was because the lyrics were too moving, or the lighting was too dim...
Smelling the familiar scent from him, Chongchong’s heartbeat grew increasingly erratic. Twice she nearly stepped on his foot, and once, her body directly collided with his chest.
She didn’t remember before that he was this tall, her eyes just reaching his chin.
On his chin, there was a light stubble and a faint scent of aftershave, a fragrance very familiar, similar to the one she had gifted him...
Afraid her eyes would betray her emotions, Chongchong lowered her face, not daring to look at him, only moving her body slightly with the rhythm of the music, her hand moving from his waist to lightly press against his chest.
The bar was small, and the dance floor even smaller and pitifully cramped. Seeing someone nearly bump into her, Andre naturally tightened his arm, and then never let go.
The tiny dance floor was too crowded for proper dancing, merely embracing and gently swaying in place.
In his arms, the girl’s waist was soft and slender, her hair carried a faint fragrance, and Andre couldn’t help but slightly squint his eyes, lowering his head to gently inhale her scent.
His nose tip lightly brushed against her hair, invoking a shiver-inducing tingle, and Chongchong’s heart skipped a beat, her right foot paused for a moment, stepping on his left foot.
"I’m sorry!"
She hurriedly looked up to apologize, and as she did, met his fiery gaze.
She wanted to look away, but a couple finished their dance behind her, leaving the dance floor and accidentally bumping into her, causing her to lurch forward, her forehead hitting his lips.
She busied herself, straightening up, pressing against his chest to stand upright.
Feeling her smooth skin under his lips, Andre’s heart tightened, her face in the dim light was breathtakingly beautiful.
