“Dino, can you feel my heartbeat?” Ivan asked in an attractive deep voice while smiling gently, with the pupils of his eyes also dilated. “It’s beating just for you.”

He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

Dino pulled himself back and stood up properly before awkwardly answering, "Sorry. And...thank you for helping me."

"No problem, dude. Just take care to not fall again," the handsome brown-skinned guy declared in a deep voice before putting his hands inside his own pockets.

Once the guy stood properly, Dino noticed how tall and handsome the former was. The handsome brown-skinned guy stood at a height of 187 centimeters. He was wearing just a T-shirt that showed how muscular he was.

[Woah. He's handsome and tall.] Dino thought.

"I-I'll say it again. Thank you," Dino said without gazing at the guy's eyes.

"You're welcome. I'll be on my way then," he said seriously before proceeding to walk away.

Dino watched the guy as the latter walked farther and farther away. For some reason, Dino felt like the guy was a good person and that the former wanted to be friends with the latter.

"Dino, are you okay," Eric asked anxiously.
