Chapter 15 - First 'Date'

"You want u-us to get out of here?" Stiles questioned her slightly taken aback as the girl smiled up at him. "Yes Stiles come on! We both don't want to be at this stupid party right now but I still want to have fun. And since Scott hates the idea of me being alone anywhere...if you come with me I wont be alone, he'll know I'm safe. See? problem solved." Lydia waffled quickly as she explained. Stiles blinked at her, this sounded a lot like a date and he was worried that Scott would see it that way too. "But what if-" he began to protest but Lydia laughed at him as she grabbed his arm and led him back out the bathroom and downstairs.

"Come on Stiles, you need to live a little. It will be fun!" They quickly pushed their way through the messy house and outside as they approached his jeep. "Fine. You're lucky I've not had anything to drink." Stiles faux scowled at her before smiling as he opened the passenger door for her, before running off to his own seat. "Yeah well you're responsible like that hmm?" She chuckled slightly as he got in and he squinted his eyes at her. "Yep a lot more responsible than all you crackheads now come on, where should we go?" He joked as Lydia's face lit up.

The strawberry blonde thought for a moment as they set off before she quickly smiled. "Well are you hungry?" She asked him as he turned his head to hers briefly. "Only always, why? you have a place in mind?" He smiled at her as he could tell she was still slightly intoxicated. "Oh yeah! Allison told me about this place...Turn left up here, we're going to get cake!" She giggled at him as he grinned back. He knew exactly where she meant. The only desert place that would be open at this time.

Hale Bakery.

They reached the bakery quickly as the streets were empty and abandoned due to the time of night, and Stiles swore he could feel Lydia's gaze on him as he drove, but he was too shy to look. They pulled up at the small lit up bakery at the end of the street, it's golden lights like a beacon in the dark as they shimmered. Stiles hopped out and rushed to the other side as he opened the door for her, a slight confused expression lay on her face as she looked at him but it was quickly replaced with a devilish smirk instead. "Well well well.. this is new...I'm definitely not complaining though!" Lydia added quickly as he held her hand gently, helping her out of the jeep.

Stiles rolled his eyes playfully at her teasing. "Hush up yeah? I'm only doing it cause...cause you're drunk obviously...I don't want you to fall on your ass now do i? That would be totally embarrassing for me." He lied through his teeth as he grinned at her playfully and she snorted in response. "Ha don't make me laugh Stilinski! That's definitely not the reason. Maybe you just realised that you don't need to be a jackass to me all the time..." she laughed as she stood next to the jeep, her smirk flirty and annoying. "Okay shut up, I do happen to know how to be a gentleman you know?" He replied to her with a roll of his eyes as she smiled at him sweetly. "Well maybe you should let me see this side of you more often...cause I really like it." She answered honestly catching him by surprise as he stared at her.

"Yeah? Well I guess that depends on if I think you've deserved it." He flirted back to her quickly as he tried to make it look like her comment didn't shock him. "Oh really? Wow you're really flirting with me now aren't you?" Lydia replied cockily as she grinned at him making him extremely nervous. What was wrong with him? He definitely was not flirting! So why did he feel so nervous? "E-erm I was not flirting...I don't flirt!" Stiles said defensively as he stuttered back a response. Lydia laughed at him. Her green eyes doe like and beautiful as they reflected the lights in the window. "Now now Stilinski you don't need to get all embarrassed and lie. One thing I know about you is that you're a flirt." She answered smoothly as he went a slight shade of pink in embarrassment. "Are you joking? W-when have I ever flirted with you?" He said in frustration as he squinted at her. She giggled at him before raising her eyebrows at him. "Oh come on Stiles, don't be daft, I've figured it out now. All the 'bullying' and being obnoxiously mean for no reason was just your way of expressing that you think I'm hot and you have no idea what to do about it!" Lydia replied cockily leaving Stiles slightly stunned.
