Peter's POV

As I hold Y/N I start to hear her laugh realizing she was fake pouting. "You're a loser" I say punching her shoulder lightly. She sticks her tongue out at me. She looks over at the time, "Oh shit you gotta go, I have work tomorrow" she gets up and tries to push me out the room, but I'm pretty solid so I don't go anywhere. She huphs in defeat. "Why can't I just stay" I give her the puppy eyes. "Because you're gonna keep me up all night" she crosses her arms. I sigh "Alright Ms. Independent, I will see you tomorrow" I kiss her hand and leave the apartment.

Y/N POV

I sit there for a moment trying to figure out what happened. I hold the hand that he kisses tight to my chest. I flop back on my bed and grab my phone. I set an alarm for tomorrow morning.

I wake up to the loud blaring of my alarm. Quickly turning if off before Lucy gets mad for being woken up as she works night shift today. I do my daily routine. Having time for breakfast I make some pancakes. After I eat I remember to grab my phone before I head out the door to my work.

I pull up to the hell of which I work. My boss saying something perverted as well as remarking that I'm an half hour early. I sigh and make my way to the dinning area. Like always our lovely regulars are there. Along with a couple of younger couples that live in the area. Like most week days I expected not many people to come in. I'm glad I no longer have to work weekends.

A couple hours into my shift a group of 4 come in and they all look very familiar. "Y/N!!!!!" TK yells as they walk in and wrap me up in a tight hug. Out the corner of my eye it looks like Peter is shooting daggers at TK. They finally put me down, "I told you guys she still worked here," TK says smugly. As the 3 of them walk to a booth in the back, Peter walks to me. "So this is where you work," at best he looks unimpressed. "Never went to college and the work market is fucked. I love the original owners, who were my boss when I first started working he with TK. The new one has a grimy personality if you know what I mean," I tuck a piece of stray hair behind my ear. I point Peter in the direction of my boss who is hitting on another waitress around my age. When Peter catches sight of this a look of clear disgust is shown on his face. He grabs my face with his hands and kisses my forehead. "Try as you might but you are not going to make me fold" I say like a lier knowing I've already folded. He gives a soft chuckle and makes his way to the booth with his band mates. I follow after him getting their orders and taking them to the young chef. I point out TK to him "If you needs some tips, they were one of the best chef to ever work here and would always love to help," I say patting the kid on his back.

After the group gets their orders, they leave giving me a $200 tip. Knowing most probably come from TK, why where they carrying so much money. Know TK they probably only came out to eat to see me. The day went by pretty fast, I go to clock out. My boss walks up to me and leans on the wall. "So was that guy your boyfriend or what," he ask trying to gauge my availability even after I turn him down. "Yes he is, so please leave me alone" I blurt out not thinking about it. He starts to laugh "He's hardly a man" he doubles over is his laughter I sigh and just leave. Officially closing the dinner and driving home.

Peter POV

I come back to Y/N work when it's closing. I wait out in the back for her boss. I overheard the conversation she had with her boss. I saw her angry walk to her car hitting her fist on her steering wheel. Luckily she pulls out before her boss comes out. I fidget with my switchblade. Her boss walks out and locks eyes with me. "What are you doing back here. Get your emo ass away from my dinner" he says trying to scary me. I laugh at him he's a pretty small dude, the fact he thinks he can scare me is utterly hilarious. I walk over to him, he backs away slightly. I can tell he's scared, he just doesn't want to show it. I end up backing him up into a corner. I open my switchblade and press the tip into his stomach just enough to cause some pain. "I swear to whatever god you believe in, if you ever hit on Y/N, give her a hard time or even mention this interaction to anyone I will gut you" I kick him in the stomach and go on my way.

Y/N POV

I walk into the apartment mentally exhausted cuz of my boss. I see Lucy getting ready for work. Her face turns to a look of sympathy. "Is it you boss again" she asks, I nod my head and lay across the couch. "I can always see if their is another opening at my work. Or you could quit your job and chill for awhile. You took care of me for almost two years you deserve a break," She says ruffling my hair. "I enjoy working it gives me something to do Lucy," I say lightly punching her in her arm. She dramatically pretends to be in pain laughing just seconds later. "Well I'm going  to work, Y/N be safe please," she says leaving out the door.

I send Peter a message as soon a Lucy pulls out the parking lot. I know I saw him earlier but I enjoy his company. Seems like as soon as he read the message he was at my door. As soon as I open the door he engulfs me in a hug. "You smell like coconut," he says smelling my hair. "You're so weirdddd" I saw trying to wiggle out the hug. I see Don walking down the hallway ad the door is still open. "Well it's been a while since a guy has been in your apartment" Don says look Peter up and down. "You're one of them kids from that band" Peter nods at Don's comment. "Well anyway I've just came by to say since y'all over payed last month rent I'm just gonna roll it over to this months rent leaving only $100 need to be payed," after that Don waves and leaves in the direction of his apartment. Peter picks me up and closes the door behind us.

"So who was that" Peter asks me gruffly. "He's the owner of these apartments, really sweet almost like a dad to me" I say patting Peter on his head.
