Doctoral Games (Dr.Strange x Reader)

Part 6

"And here we are." Stephen said when he parked the car and stopped the engine.

"Wait." you say.

"Yes?"

"I've been on dates before and- it is a date right?"

"Yes of course." he responds.

"Ok. Hem. What I wanted to say is: I pay for myself. Clear?"

He looked rather confused.

You continued: "I just always have a bad feeling when someone pays for me and I just don't want it. I hope you don't have a bad impression of me now. Oh! And I hope you don't think that I automatically assumed you would pay for me and that's why I said this in the first place. It's just-"

"You're good. Don't worry. You are kind of cute when you are like this. When you said 'clear?,. So bossy..." he smirks.

"Stop... So it's okay." you ask with a shy smile.

"Yes of course it's okay. You're right though, I was going to pay for you, but if it makes you feel better, I guess I can make an exception for once."

"Once?"

"Yes. There will be other dates. Except you have another guy, but look at me. Even if there was another guy you would pick me." You chortled, you loved his confidence in a way but this time you didn't notice that he had said that to hide his own insecurities about your male friend.

You got out of the car and walked side by side towards the restaurant. He opened the door for you and you entered. You both stopped at the reception and the receptionist asked if you had a reservation.

"Yes. The name is Strange." Stephen responded.

The receptionist looked confused.

"The name is literally Strange. S-T-R-A-N-G-E." you helped him out.

"Oh of course. I'm sorry." the receptionist said and you just smiled at him. Stephen on the other had looked rather annoyed and that made you smile even more.

He brought you to your table and gave you the menu.

"Would you like something to drink?"
Stephen looks at you.

"Oh hem. Only water for me please." you respond.

"Sure. And for you Mister?"

"I'll take a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon."

"With pleasure. Would it be all?"

"Yes thank you." you both say.

After a moment of looking at the menu you felt as someone was observing you. Looking up, you saw Stephen starring.

"Is everything okay? Do you already know what you'll eat?" you ask confused.

A bright smirk appeared on his face when you said the last part. You needed a few seconds until you understood why he made this face. You blushed hard and hid behind the menu.

That little dirty mind of his.

"Not. Funny." you tell him.

"I'm just joking. I'll take the steak. I heard it's pretty good."

"Uh huh" you nod.

"You don't need to hide anymore."

You noticed that you were still fully behind the menu. You slowly put it down but you were still blushing.

"I made you blush hard this time, huh?"

"I think I'll also take the steak... and revenge will come don't worry..."
