Unforeseen Romance (Mirage X Reader)

4 (PREVIEW)

The next couple of months fly by.

It's filled with hookups with Elliott that are happening way more frequently, work, and then relaxing with my girls. Me and Elliott aren't official or anything, but we have hung out at his bar after hours, and we've hung out some other times. I just wouldn't count anything as a date, just two friends casually hanging out. We both agreed that one night stands aren't our thing so we just call each other when we need each other.

Right now, I'm on the phone with Elliott because he texted saying that he has some news.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Y/n. Hi!" Elliott's voice states through the phone. The sound of cars driving by is heard and I hear the constant clicking of a turn signal faintly in the background. I'm going to assume he is driving.

There's a beat of silence and then he begins to speak again.

"I was at my bar and one of my regulars came in with a flyer..." he starts.

"Uh huh." I say, hoping he'll continue his story.

"I looked the flyer over and I think I'm gonna join the Apex games next season they have."

Why is he telling me this?

Unsure of what to say, I just say what's on my mind.

"Okay, cool...why are you telling me this?"

Elliott chuckles and lets out a sigh.

"Because, because your hookup partner is gonna be gone for a while."

I roll my eyes and then reply to him.

"You think I'll miss you?" I asked joking around with him.

"I think you'll miss a part of me..." Elliott states. I can feel him smirking though his statement.

"I actually will miss your company- justtt a little."

"Yeah?" He challenges.

"Yeah, when do you leave?"

Elliott stays silent for a moment but then he speaks.

"My first match should be tomorrow if I agree."
"So, it's not a might, it's for sure a thing?" I ask.

"Hmm, yeah. I need the money from it, and I've been working on an old project that me and my mom used to do together...I think it'll help in the games."

I let out a yawn and nod my head even though Elliott can't see me.

"What are you doing?" Elliott asked.

"Laying here talking to you. Are you driving?"

I hear the gears of Elliott's car shifting and then he answers.

"I was. I just pulled up to my job."

"Oh okay, well, thanks for the heads up about the games..I wish you luck. I will let you get that money honey."
