Bea nodded, "Yes they are. Wasn't exactly fun to see you running off with different girls all the time." she admitted with a small shrug. Bea heard Andy whisper in her ear and smirked, leaning closer to him as she ran her hand up and down his back as they stayed close together. "I do...but I also don't just want to be a one night with you either so I can't exactly give it up that quick."
Andy soaked in the attention from his friends, revelling in the spotlight as a good-looking lad who thrived on admiration, yet deep down he longed for the affection of Bea above all else. Despite the laughter and camaraderie surrounding him, a sense of loneliness nagged at him, pushing him to articulate his feelings. “You know, sometimes I just wanted company. I wanted you—but I never want to ruin how close we are. If I lost you, I’d be devastated.” He wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her closer, his heart racing with hope and vulnerability. “So how about we take things slow tonight?” he suggested with a playful grin, his eyes glinting with mischief. “Kiss, get handsy.”
