Let's Meet Again, For the First Time (Eren x OC)

4

Eren and I started to close the bar.

He made me laugh a lot, and I liked that. Like he was trying to get me to smile even though I didn't want to. But it felt good, he had that energy that everyone adored. A contagious smile that made you smile even bigger.

He was funny without being mean, our polar opposite personalities matched perfectly together. And I enjoyed working with him, it didn't feel like work. I felt comfortable around him, which was strange for me, because I don't trust as easily.

He brought me a strange sense of safety, I could be myself around him and not have to hide anything.

Those people in your life like that, the ones you meet and it clicks instantly. Those are the people you're going to remember for the rest of your life.

"What's this?", he asked as he pulled a drink from the fridge, "Shit- I totally forgot about that", I walked to him. "It's a margarita- Bec told me she needed one but the table ended up not wanting it so I put it there so we could resell it", "I'm gonna need you to be on your game Spence, we cant have perfectly good margaritas sitting around like this".

"You know what Eren, you're right, wont happen again", I matched his energy, "Well, looks like we to drink it", "We can't let it go to waste", I shrugged my shoulders. "That wouldn't be efficient", he said, "You're right, it wouldn't".

He handed me the drink and we each sipped it until it was gone.

"That's a good margarita", he cleaned the glass, "I make the best margaritas", I said with full confidence. "Yeah, I don't know about that", he shook his head slowly, "I think we need to put that to the test, officially of course".

"I wouldn't have it other way- I'm serious about my margaritas Eren", I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Eren- Spencer- we're all going out for drinks, you guys coming?", Armin asked us as he threw his coat on.

Becca joined his side, "Fuck yeah we are", Eren grinned then looked to me. My smile faded when Jean came to my mind.

"Spence- you're coming", Becca's tone stern as she knew exactly where my mind went. "Yeah- just let me check in with Jean first", Armin looked at me with confusion, "You gotta ask him for permission or some shit", he joked.

Feels like that sometimes.

Historia and Ymir joined the conversation, "We going out or what guys?", Ymir threw her arm around Historia. "Just waiting on Spence and Eren here", "We still have to close the bar, we'll meet you there", Eren said. "Alright we're heading to Big Red's, "Be there as soon as we can".

"Spence, you better show up or I'm going to be pissed", Becca whispered to me, "You know how he is", my voice tinted with disappointment. "I don't give a fuck, you're allowed to go out with your coworkers and have fun, and that's what we're going to do", I sighed lightly, "I'll try".

"No, no trying, just do it", her eyes glaring into mine like I was getting lectured, "Ok- ok", I said quickly, wanting the conversation to be over.

"Eren make sure she comes", Becca pointed to him, "Roger that".

I slipped my phone out of my pocket, the anxiety caused my heart to beat quickly. I tapped on jean's contact name.

Spencer: Hey I was gonna go out with my new coworkers tonight- that ok?

He replied instantly.

Jean: Ya u don't need to ask me

He was pissed.

Jean: Have fun

I sighed at the screen, "Everything good?", Eren asked, "Yeah", my thumbs hovered over the keyboard.
