With You, I'm Home

Secret's Out

Laying in bed, I could feel the mattress shift under moving weight. The sudden movement, caused me to shift even so slightly and bury my face into the pillow. I was laying on my stomach, my arms tucked up under my pillow. 

Suddenly, the cool breeze that was coming from the fan in the corner of the room was missing, and I felt the light weight of a blanket being laid over my bare torso. The mattress dipped down on either side of my body, causing me to turn my head and pull my face out of the pillow. "What time is it?" I mumbled, opening my eyes ever so slightly. 

The black out curtains I had put up over the windows made it almost impossible to tell what time it was without finding a clock. 

"Don't worry about it, I'll see you later."  He spoke softly, knowing that I'd likely try to go back to sleep once he left. I always did. 

"'Kay. Love you." I yawned, closing my eyes once more. I felt the rough feel of his facial hair rub against the side of my face and then once more on my shoulder before the weight left the mattress.

I snuggled further into my pillow and went back to sleep. 

"How did I let you talk me into this?" I grumbled, following Katy into Modean's. 

It wasn't often that Katy was able to convince me to go out with her- being completely honest I'm not entirely sure I agreed to it this time. She swore up and down that I agreed to it one night while drunk, and wouldn't take no for an answer. 

Judging by the look of the lot outside, there were a lot of people inside the building. Large crowds, and by that I mean anything more than three people in a room, I've never been good with. 

"Because you need to get out of the house!" She giggled, pulling me by the hand. "I do get out of the house." I grumbled. Katy abruptly stopped in front of the door. "When was the last time you went out and did something- and going to the ice rink to skate doesn't count." She was glaring at me now. 

"Uhhh....six months ago when I got a new tattoo." I admitted honestly, and immediately I could see her point. "Fine, let's go." I gave in to what she was asking me.

A huge smile took over her face as she turned and opened the door before walking through it- pulling me along behind her. 

Immediately, I could feel eyes on me as we walked through the space and was starting to feel uncomfortable. Other than Katy, the only person I saw that I recognized was her brother, Wayne, sitting at the bar with two other guys around him. 

I was starting to feel very under dressed in only shorts and a black, lace crop top and a pair of Dr. Martens. The shorts were just barely longer than the underwear I wore underneath, if I make one wrong move I don't doubt that everything would be on display. And it was all thanks to Katy- who had picked out the outfit. She thought I needed to get out more, and find someone to spend my time with. 

Little did she know, I already had someone. I just like to keep my business to myself. 

Pulling my hand away from Katy's, I wrapped my arms around my torso as I followed her over to the bar. 

"Oli, how are you now?" Wayne nodded his head upon seeing me standing next to his sister. "A-Alright I guess, and you?" I nodded in return. "Not so bad." 

Looking around, my eyes landed on a familiar face sitting down the bar before coming back to the group in front of me. 

3rd Person POV

He was sitting at the other end of the bar, but had seen her as soon as she came into the bar. He could see just how uncomfortable she was being here, and knew her well enough to know that she never would've picked that outfit for herself.
