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

6

I set my keys down on the counter and began to open the bar.

I was slicing lime wedges on the cutting board, enjoying the silence of the closed restaurant. I took my time, knowing I had the luxury.

I focused on the blade and the fruit, making sure I was precise with each cut. I bit my lips as I concentrated closely.

"Hey", Eren whispered into my ear, causing me to jump and cut my finger on accident, "Fuck!", I winced in pain. "Oh shit- I'm sorry! Here-", he dropped his keys and grabbed a napkin.

He held my bleeding finger tightly, "What was the reason of that- hm?", I said in annoyed tone, "I thought it would be funny if I scared you", he smiled sheepishly.

"Well you scared me alright", my eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm sorry- really- let me fix it", he ran away quickly. I held the napkin on my bleeding finger as I waited for him.

"Let me see", he stood in front of me, his strong tall body close in front of mine. He held my injured hand and cleaned the wound.

"Seems like since we met all I've caused you is trouble", he joked, "Yeah seems that way, doesn't it?", I looked up into his emerald green eyes.

"But the good kind of trouble, right?", he smirked, not taking his eyes away from mine for a second. "Yeah, getting my laptop ruined and cutting my finger, the 'good kind'", I returned his smirk, "You just wait Spencer Bradley, I'm going to change your life", he winked and his hand left mine. "I hope not", I sighed.

"What's so wrong with change hm?", he half grinned, his eyes looking down into mine, "Nothing", I looked away.

"You don't like change, do you?", he pushed further, "Eren stop", I groaned and began to walk away.

"Just you wait", I looked back at him, he had that same devilish across his lips and I couldn't get enough of it.

"Go get the mint", I focused on opening the bar again.

"Yikes- what happened?", Armin looked at my bandaged finger, I laughed lightly, "Eren decided to scare me while I was cutting limes". "What a douche", he laughed, "I know right".

"You think Bec can close for me tonight?", he asked with a sheepish smile.

"I think so, she likes you", I side eyed him, "Wait what- what do you mean?", he said in an excited tone. "Ask her", I smiled and walked off.

The shift started and went on as usual, laughs and smiles and ruthless jokes between Eren and I. Armin and Bec stealing glances from one another as they waited tables.

I noticed I was out of lime juice while making a drink, I popped the spout off the bottle and darted across the bar. I slipped behind Eren and filled the glass bottle as quickly as time would allow.

"Right behind", Eren said, his hand slipped to my waist for just a moment. His touch alone for just that moment, caused my body to heat up instantly.

And just like that, all I could think about for the rest of the shift, was his hands on me.

It captivated my mind. Such a small interaction, that lasted no longer than a second. But it trapped my mind for hours. The feeling of his hands on my clothed waist...it sent my mind to places I never knew existed. Dark and lustful places that have been buried for what felt like years.

And to feel that, felt so damn good. But in a bad way...

"I can close, you can head out", I said as I wiped down the bar counter. "Nah it's all good, I need the hours", he sighed and stretched his arms out.
