(Eliza POV)
Before I know what's happening, John kisses me. Eliza.exe has stopped working."So.. that's a yes then?" Alex says. John nods and holds my hand, causing me to blush harder. I look up and see Alex looking the tiniest bit annoyed. Why is he annoyed? He just told me he wasn't flirting.
“Well-moving on”, Alex says, “This better not get in the way of our missions” “It won’t”, John says, “We’ve been partners since with both started working here.” “It better not”, Alex says sounding sort of like his father.
"Aren't you a stick in the mud." I mumble once I clue back into reality. Alex chuckles a bit. "I'm actually a lot of fun, you just despise me." He says. I shrug. "I never said I do but I definitely won't say I don't." I say then get up from my desk. "Excuse me for a minute." I say and leave the office but Alex follows.
“What do you want from me”, I say with a frustrated tone. “Well if we’re going to have to work together we might as well try to get along”, Alex says. I roll my eyes and say, “I’ll try”, before heading back to my office.
"Wait one second!" Alex calls after me. I re-shut the door and turn to look at him. "What now?" I ask, annoyed as heck. "I do like you. And I was flirting with you," He tells me, "my dad constantly told me about you and I wanted to meet you- that's why he set this whole thing up." He explains. I freeze. "You're telling me this now!? Right after I get together with my crush?!" I scream at him.
“Ok ok- I’m walking away-“, Alex says. He should’ve just said the truth earlier instead of being annoying! “You should’ve said that earlier”, I say before walking back into the office. ”The nerve of some people”, I mutter before going to sit with John.
"What happened?" John asks. I groan and lay my head on his shoulder. "Alex is the most annoying person ever and I'd rather not talk about it." I tell him. He nods and hugs me, making me smile. He knows hugs are my favorite. His hugs especially.“It’ll be alright”, John reassures me, “How about we just hang out for a bit, you and me.” I nod and smile.
“I’d like that”, I say. “Can we watch a movie-?”, I ask. “Of course we can”, John says. I put on a movie and cuddle closer to him forgetting about the events that just happened."Why doesn't Maui just build himself a boat?" John asks me. I shrug. "I guess he could… he did have a lot of time to himself." I answer. I never really thought about that. That's why I love watching movies with John. He thinks of everything.
After the movie ends John starts to get up. “Nooo you’re warmmm”, I whine playfully. “Well it is getting kinda late and both of us should probably get home”, John says. “I don’t wanna leave youuu”’, I say.
"Do- do you want to stay the night?" He asks quietly. I hesitantly nod and grab my jacket from his chair. "Alright let's go." He tells me and leads me to his personal car. He opens the door for me and I smile. "Such a gentleman." I laugh a bit.Once we get to his house he says, “you can take the bed, I’ll take the couch”. “I can take the couch,it is your house”, I say. “But you’re the guest”, John says. We go back and forth with this argument before one of us finally gives in.
"Fine you can have the couch." I sigh. I knew John wasn't going to let up until I gave in. He opens his bedroom door for me and let's me in. "There you go." He says. I smile and pull him into his bed. "What're you doing?" He laughs.
“Sharing is caring”,I say, “Goodnight” as I pretend to sleep. John goes to get up but then I pull him back down. “Can we please watch another movie before bed”, I plead with puppy eyes. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt”, John says before putting on another movie and laying down next to me.
I smile and sing along to all the songs I learned from Encanto. "Jackie I'm sorry but Bruno is my husband now." I joke and cuddle into him. He smiles and puts his arm around me. "Then Isabella is my wife." He says and I gasp. "No!" I whine. "I am."
“True you’re better”, John says. I giggle before saying, ”You bet I am!” “You sure are”, John whispers then kisses the top of my head. “Now that the movie is over I wish you sweet dreams my dear”, he says as he gets up to leave.
"Noooo you're staying here." I say and pull him back into bed once again. I lay my head on his chest and wrap my arms around him so he can't leave me again. "Well if you insist." He chuckles lightly and holds me. With that, I fall asleep quickly.
