The thought of him never seemed to leave her mind. It was like a drug, a terrible addiction that wouldn't ever go away. Every time she thought of him, she felt her pulse quicken. Holly sighed. Her thoughts were always of him, even when she tried to concentrate on work or something else, it was so hard. She knew that for sure he had no idea how she felt about him, or so she thought...
Ludwig Beilschmidt, or also know as Germany was the person she loved, but also her boss which made things kinda awkward for her, but she managed to hide it from him. Holly was also known as Berlin, which is why Germany was her boss.
She was sitting in the park, on a beautiful spring afternoon just listening to her music, trying to clear her mind.
She felt her phone buzz, she took it out of her pocket and looked at it. She had a text, she wondered from whom.
Once she looked, she felt her face flush. It was from Germany... She wondered what he wanted. Berlin opened the text, reading it to herself.
It said, "Berlin, I would like to talk to you about something serious. Could you meet me at the library in about 15 minutes, ja? -Germany."
Holly's face flushed even more. He wanted her to meet him. She felt her heartbeat speed up. She took a deep breath, and replied to him.
"Sure, I'll be there. See you soon. -Berlin." She couldn't believe it. Berlin stood up, adjusting herself, brushing her jeans off. She grabbed her bag and headed towards the library.
Berlin arrived at the library, she stood outside for a moment, trying to calm herself down.
"Get yourself together Holly, it's just Germany." What was she saying, it wasn't JUST Germany, this was the man she loved.
She took a deep breath, and walked inside. She looked around for him, and she saw him towards the back reading a book. She took another deep breath, feeling her face start to flush as she saw him. He was as gorgeous as ever, he had his uniform on, my god she loved a man in uniform. His beautiful blonde locks, which she wanted to run her fingers through. His piercing blue eyes, that felt like they could melt her heart every time she looked at him.
"Snap out of it Holly! Just walk over to him." She thought. She took a deep breath and she walked over to him.
"Urm..." She cleared her throat. "Hi Germany." Germany looked up from the book he was reading. He smiled at the sight of her. "Hallo Berlin. I'm glad you can make it. Please have a seat."
That smiled literally killed her; she felt her face turn a slight red. She nodded and sat down across from him. Germany marked his page, and sat down his book. He cleared his throat and looked at her. Holly moved a piece of her black and teal hair out of her face, adjusting her bangs.
"So you're probably wondering why I called you here, ja?" he said.
She nodded. His beautiful blue eyes met her blue hues, she felt like she was gonna die. "Yes, I am. What's this serious matter you need to discuss with me?"
Germany nodded. "Well you know how I always go to the meetings where America, England, Italy, Japan, China, Russia, France, and I discuss different subjects about the world and such ja?"
Holly nodded. "Yes, I have heard you speak about them a few times before."
He looked at her and nodded. "Well I was wondering if when I go to the next meeting, would you like to go with me?" His accent got deeper somewhat. Berlin's eyes widen.
"Germany, are you sure about that sir? It's such a great opportunity, but I wouldn't want to be a bother."
Germany shook his head. "You would never be a bother, und your one of my hardest workers. I would love for you to come." He smiled at her. That was the rare smile she loved so much. Her heartbeat quickened, she couldn't say no.
This was an opportunity to spend time with him, but also learn some new things and meet the other countries. She was thrilled. Berlin smiled and nodded. "Alright, it would be my pleasure to join you Germany."
Germany grinned, she felt like she was gonna die. "Oh Berlin, I can't thank you enough. You are simply the greatest." Berlin blushed a deep scarlet.
"T-thank you Germany. That means alot." Germany smiled again, he seemed to smile alot around her.
"Your very much welcome Holly." She felt herself blush even more. He called her Holly, he rarely called her that. She smiled at him.
"Ze meeting is next Thursday, that's good for you I suppose, ja?"
Holly nodded. "That is perfect. Thank-you so much for this opportunity sir. I'm excited to go."
Germany chuckled. "I'm very glad to hear that und I look forward to it."
He stood up and walked over to give her a hug. Her face turned even more red. She put her arms around his waist, hugging him back.
She could feel his abs through his uniform, against her. "I love you..." She whispered. She pulled away from him, his face was red.
"Wait...what did you say Berlin?" She looked at him, her eyes widened.
"What? I didn't say anything.." she said.
"Oh... I swore I heard you say something. Never mind then."
Holly nodded. "I must go, but I will see you later." She waved to him, and walked away.
Germany stood there for a moment, trying to make sure he heard correctly what she said. He swore he heard Holly say she loved him. His face flushed at the thought of it, is what why she always acts funny and nervous when she's around him... He loved her back as well. He thought about going after her, then he stopped in his tracks.
"No Ludwig, pull yourself together. What if she never even said anything and you were imagining it?" He shook his head and sighed.
He couldn't ever tell her he loved her, he was her boss and that might make things weird between them. He gathered his stuff and headed out. Germany wanted to buy her something nice. He thought for a moment.
"A dozen roses sounds nice... I think I'll send her some of those..." He smiled to himself. Maybe someday in time he could tell her how he felt.
Holly arrived home, she put her bags and keys down, locking the door behind her. She took a deep breath. She couldn't believe she said I love you to him! I hope to god he didn't hear exactly what I said. Her face flushed even more. Goodness what a day. Berlin was relaxing on the couch, when she heard the doorbell ring. Who could that be. She walked over and asked who it was.
"Delivery for Ms. Holly Hoffmann." Who in the world sent me a delivery, she thought. She opened the door and a young man in a military uniform greeted her.
"Ms. Hoffmann?" Berlin nodded.
"Yes, that is me."
The young man nodded. "I have these for you."
He handed her a dozen of beautiful black roses. Her favorite. Her face blushed a deep scarlet.
"T-thank-you, but who are these from?.." She took the bouquet from him.
The young man spoke. "They are from Ludwig Beilschmidt, miss."
Her blush deepened even more. "Germany... Sent... Me... These..." She thought. Berlin nodded, thanking the young man and she shut the door as he left. Berlin blinked a few times, trying to take this all in. She looked at the roses, they were so beautiful. She smelled them, they smelled wonderful. There was a card inside of the roses, she took it out reading it.
"Just a little thank-you gift for being such a great help. -Germany." Berlin smiled to herself, he was so sweet. She loved him so much...
Germany's phone rang, he answered it. "Ja, this iz Germany."
"Sir, I delivered the roses to Miss Hoffmann like you asked of me."
Germany smiled. "Did she liked them?"
"Yes sir, she was very happy."
Germany was glad. "That's great, thank-you for taking them to her."
"No problem sir."
Germany hung up his phone. He was so glad that she loved them. He blushed slightly just thinking about her. Holly was so beautiful. Ever since she first came to work for him, he's been attracted to her. He just really wondered if she loved him back...
Thursday came before they even knew it. Holly was up early that morning, stressed about the meeting. She kept fussing about what to wear, until she just decided to wear something casual. She decided to wear her black skinny jeans, black blouse and her ballet flats. She straightened her hair and let it fall loose. Berlin sighed, trying to calm her nerves. Pretty soon she had to head to Germany's place, since he was the one taking her to the meeting. Berlin grabbed her things, and headed to Germany's house.
Germany paced back and forth in the living room, awaiting Berlin's arrival.
"She isn't gonna show up." He thought.
"No Ludwig! What are you thinking? Berlin has never let you down." He sighed, adjusting his shirt. He looked at the clock, Berlin should be there any minute. Germany sat down for a moment, taking deep breaths trying to relax. He heard the doorbell, it made him jump. He walked to the door opening it, it was Berlin. He blushed deeply as the sight of her. She was so beautiful... He smiled at her.
"Hallo Berlin, I'm so happy you came, please come in and I'll be ready in a moment." Holly walked inside of Germany's house. She nodded at him, feeling her face flush. He was so gorgeous... Even though he only had his uniform on, he was still so gorgeous in her eyes. She stepped inside, waiting for him to get ready. Germany rushed to grab his keys and wallet.
The place where everyone met wasn't too far from his home, so he decided to just drive him and Berlin there.
"Are you ready to go?" Germany said as he looked at her. Berlin nodded blushing slightly.
"Y-yes I'm ready." Germany blushed at the sight of her blushing.
"Okay, then let's go." Germany led Holly to his car. She got into his car, blushing deeply. She buckled her seat belt, taking a deep breath. She couldn't get over the fact that she was in his car. Holly couldn't even look at him.
Germany couldn't keep from blushing around Holly. She was just too cute. He drove to the building where the meeting is. It wasn't far from where he lived. He arrived at the building.
"This iz the place." Holly nodded, taking her seat belt off and getting out of the car. "Just follow me Holly."
She nodded. "Okay."
She followed Germany inside the building, and to where everyone else was. She was so nervous meeting everyone. Holly had only met Italy before, and she liked him. He was sweet~ They reached the room.
"Well here we are, don't mind these idiots Berlin." Holly nodded, giggling.
