We all make our way downstairs when we notice Smith isn't coming?

"You leaving?" I ask confused as he moves to the door

"Yeah I have a family and life and a job to try and save" he says laughing before leaving out the front door.

We make it into the basement and it's an open concept with a large wrap around couch facing the TV. There is a bathroom off to the side and 2 spare bedrooms.

"I'm taking a shower" I say immediately seeing the shower and everyone agrees. I go first quickly followed by everyone after me, Malek went last getting mostly cold water but he didn't seem to mind.

"Movie?" Jesse asks looking at us after drying her hair and getting back into her clothes. Sam and I shrug our shoulders, why not.

Jesse and Aaron then get comfortable together on the opposite side of the couch as Sam sits down in the middle while Malek takes the other empty side. I grab a blanket and bring it over to Malek as I sit down beside him, moving my legs over into his lap as I rest my head against his shoulder. I feel him slide his hands against my side and leg holding me in place.

Their tv doesn't have Netflix but Jesse did find a movie called hereditary that was coming on in 5 minutes so we chose it, Sam had already seen it and said it was good. I wonder what all we missed being on the inside, especially Malek.

Very quickly I put together that it was a scary movie and cuddled up as close to Malek as I could but he didn't seem to mind.

A jump scare comes up and I accidentally scream and immediately feel bad that I might have woke Alice but Malek laughs at me, he didn't even flinch.

The movie eventually comes to an end and I'm well freaked out by now.

"Cmon" Malek says as we stand up off the couch

"So we watch a scary movie then y'all get the rooms and I have to sleep out here in the open in some random lady's house?" Sam says and Jesse laughs

"Your movie pick man, plus you don't want us out here what we're going to do" Aaron says and Jesse hits him giggling, Malek laughs and shakes his head but I catch him and Aaron exchanged a guy look as if they where on the same page, my stomach does a million backflips as butterflies immediately take over.

What does THAT mean? I want to take a shower and shave my entire body, oh fuck. I'm not even wearing my cute underwear, they're lost in Sams van. Fuck.

Malek walks around the couch and I follow him as we walk back to the far bedroom across the basement.

He flicks on the light and there is a simple queen bed with a dresser and side tables all fitting the same neutral colour scheme.

I walk around the right side of the bed and crawl up onto it before sitting with my knees bent as my arms wrap around under my thighs.

I watch as he pulls off his shirt up over his head and throws it down on the floor. He catches me watching him and grins.

He then hits the light and the room goes pitch black and my stomach twists I'm so nervous, I could throw up. It a lot of mixed emotions of being scared of the movie and now Malek.

I feel something grab my leg and tug and I scream in response as he laughs at my scared reaction.

"You're so jumpy" he says crawling up onto the bed before laying down onto his back next to me

"Sorry" I say softly. I take a deep breath and try to relax, it's just Malek.

"You okay?" He says looking over at me

"Yeah" I say trying to hide the nervousness in my voice

"You seem nervous" he says calling me out and my cheeks flush in embarrassment.

A moment later he leans up, pressing my shoulders down into the bed as he crawls on top of me. I let out a slight giggle at him and I can see the grin grow on his face from the window shining in moonlight as it casts across him.

"You're nervous I'm going to try and take advantage of you" he says and my face goes beet red and his grin grows, he's clearly entertained. The butterflies are quickly being overpowered with a deep growing feeling spreading across my lower body.

He leans back sitting straight up on his knees, looking down at me as my legs are straight between his.

"Take it off" he says and with a hint of demand in his voice. He definitely likes being in control.
