Y/n POV

You got to be kidding me....how does he know where I live?! "Hey William what are you doing here?" I ask awkwardly as I hold the door open looking at him. He was crouching down his hand on the door frame his head titled down as he looked at the floor. He was wearing his work attire but his waistcoat was gone only leaving him in his purple button up with a few buttons undone.

He looks up at me his a smile and chuckles I'm embarrassed is what I assume. "I'm sorry Y/n I didn't know this was your house." He says as he stand ups straight. Soo is this just a coincidence? "It's alright but is there anything you need?" I ask just trying to get this interaction done and over with. "Yes, I'm afraid my car has broken down and I need a ride back home." He says as he chuckles nervously as he puts his hands together rubbing them awkwardly. "Oh well I could give you a ride back. If you want?" Of course he wants a ride back how dumb could you be.

"Thank you so much this means a lot I just have to get back home to my kids I don't want the babysitter to think badly of me." He said as he follows me inside as I go to grab my keys and hang up the phone. I feel so bad for hanging up on them but I don't really have time to explain myself. "Of course I don't want those kids to be home alone." I say as I walk back towards him and we go out the door. I lock it before leaving the door and follow him towards my car. I unlock it as I get into the drivers side and he goes into the passenger side. I start the car as I dive out of the driveway and to his house.

"Do you remember the way?" He asks me. "Yeah I do, i have a good memory so it helps out in times like this." Yeah right I have horrible memory most of the time I only remember stuff when I know it's valuable to me. It's silent the whole drive there, none of us spoke a word. The tension in the car was so thick you can cut it with a knife. It would be less awkward if he didn't pull that shit earlier. "I don't want to make this more awkward as this already is, but I feel like we should talk about what I did earlier." He says I reuse to make eye contact with him, I mean how could I those gorgeous sliver piercing eyes- what the fuck am I talking about?!

"Yeah your right we should." I say as I grip the steering wheel. I just want this done and over with already, why the fuck does he live so far?! "I just wasted you to know I was messing around. I do that with all employees when they first start." He says trying to play it off as if this isn't the most awkward moment we've had. He chuckles as I give an awkward laugh in return. "Ohh that makes sense now." As I focus on driving I recognize we're almost at his house. "Looks like we're almost there." He points out before i can. "Yeah your right..."I say trailing off realizing the tension going away a bit. We then pull into his houses driveway and he gets out as I get out only to watch him walk into his house. He turns round before walking away "You know what why don't you come inside for a bit I'll treat you to something since I made things awkward." As he says this I think. Should I? I mean I don't think he means any harm by his.

"Sure I'll come in." I say as I go back and turn off and lock the car and walk up to his door with him. I wait as behind him as he unlocks the door and he walks in as I follow behind him. I walk in and met with a blond girl on the couch watching a movie. "Oh Mr. Afton your here." As she says this she gets off the couch and walks up to us. "Yeah I'm sorry for being late Ashley had some car troubles." (If your name is Ashley change it something else) He says chuckling as she laughs back. "It's quite alright all of the kids are asleep already." As she says this she grabs her bag and head to the door as William walks her out. "Thank you for watching them. Have a Goodnight" William says as he opens the door for her and waves bye. "You too Mr Afton!" She says as she walks off to her car and William closes the door.

"Ugh I hate teens." He says in a miserable tone as he walks into the kitchen. I slowly follow him wondering why he wanted me to come in with him. He goes into a cabinet and grabs two glasses and a bottle. As he sets it on the counter I see it's a wine bottle. "Would you like a cup?" He offers as he pours himself one. "Yeah not too much though I have to drive back." I'm not a lightweight but I do get tipsy after a few cups. He then pours me a small glass and hands it to me. "Why don't we toast to something?" He says randomly before i can take a sip. I look at him questioning what we can even toast to. "Uhh sure what are we toasting to?" He clears his throat and in his thick British accent says.
























"Let's toast to us, and our future

together~"
