If Only You Knew

Chapter 7

The next morning I decide to go on a run before Scarlett comes over to hangout until I go to work. I get home and take a quick, then when I get out I get a text from Scarlett saying she's on her way. So I quickly dry off and change into some sweatpants and a t-shirt then I walk out into the living room deciding to let my hair air dry since I have a few hours before I have to go to work. About 5 minutes pass when I hear a knock on my apartment door. I get up and open the door where I am immediately met with a warm hug from Scarlett. "Hey Scar! Come on in" 

"Hey Y/n!" She kisses my cheek and walks into my apartment. 

"Make yourself comfortable as usual" I smile as I shut the door then walk into the kitchen. 

I grab two water bottles for us then walk back into the living room where Scarlett is sitting on my couch smiling softly. "Come sit" She scoots over a bit and pats on the couch next to her.

I walk over and set the waters down on my coffee table. "I'm not in trouble am I? If so, kill me gently please" I sit down as she scoffs and pushes me away from her making me laugh.

"You're not in trouble and I'm not going to kill you! What would I do without my best friend?" She giggles pulling me back towards her by my arm, "Besides, why would you be in trouble anyway?" She queries, raising a curious brow at me.

"Well I know you didn't like me hanging out with Liv yesterday. So I thought you might kill me for it" I shrug with a chuckle as she rolls her eyes at me. 

"I still don't trust her" She scoffs and grabs on of the water bottles, opening it up.

"I know. But she seemed... nicer when we were hanging out yesterday." I laugh awkwardly as she squints her eyes over at me. "I wont make you like her or anything, besides I don't think you'll have to see her that much anyways" I shrug and grab the other water bottle from the table and take a drink.

"Hm. I hope not" She sighs and grabs the tv remote, "Mind if I turn the tv on?" 

"Not at all" I watch as she turns the tv on and then sits back on the couch quietly. 'I should change the subject..' I think to myself. I clear my throat and sit back on the couch, "I'll sadly have to cut this hangout short today, I have work in a few hours." 

She looks over at me and smiles, "That's ok, Colin wants to attempt to make me dinner tonight anyway" She giggles and scoots closer to me. 

"He's going to attempt to make you dinner?" I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Yep. I'm sure it'll be good. But even if it's not.... I'll do something that will make him enjoy the night even more" She smirks, winking at me then wiggling her eyebrows. I feel a pit in my stomach hearing her crappy innuendo. I take a deep breath and just roll my eyes. "What? It wasn't that bad!"

"Let's just watch tv" I cross my arms, looking over at the tv.

"Are you ok?" She checks, placing one of her hands on mine.

"I'm fine, let's just... talk about something else." I force a smile, still feeling the pit in my stomach. A few hours pass and I eventually stop feeling the pit in my stomach once we started talking about other things. "I need to get changed I'll be back" I get up and walk to my room to change into my work clothes. 

After a few minutes I hear my door open as I grab my shirt to put it on. "Hey Y/n do you w-" I turn around to see her freeze in place. Her face turns red as a gasp comes from her, "Oh I uh I'm sorry! I thought you'd be done by now!" She covers her face embarrassedly as I laugh.

"It's fine Scar, no need to be embarrassed. I'm in a bra anyway it doesn't matter." I chuckle while slipping my shirt on over my head. "What did you come in here for?" I walk over taking her hands off her face, which is still noticeably red. 

"I was going to ask if you wanted me to wait and walk out to the car with you" She chuckles nervously and clears her throat as I let go of her hands.

"Oh. Sure, I was going to suggest that actually" I giggle and grab her hand again, leading her out into the living room. "I actually need to head out now. Are you ready to go?" 

"Yes! I'll walk down with you" She resituates her hand, interlocking our fingers together and smiles. I smile walking out of my apartment, grabbing my keys and then locking up. We walk to the elevator and down to our cars hand in hand making me smile. I walk her to her car first since mines only a few spots over. "I had a good time hanging out with you as always"

"So did I, I wish we could hangout longer. But I'm happy we did at all" I smile then she pulls me closer into a big hug. 

"Me too!" She pulls back and gives me a kiss on the cheek again, "Have a good day at work! Text me when you're home ok?" She says sternly but playful.

I feel my cheeks start to burn red, "Thank you. I'll let you know I promise" I chuckle and give her another quick hug as my heart beats faster. 

"I'll see you later!" 

"Bye. Have a good time, hopefully Colins cooking is good!" I put my hands in my pockets s she opens her car door. 

"Hopefully. I'll let you know" She giggles and gets in her seat. "Bye!" She closes the door as I wave bye to her. I watch her back out of her spot then walk over to my car. I get in and drive off to start mty shift at work.
