NINA'S POV
I helped him walk to my car with me. We got in and I started the car. "Paul, why did you come to the bar?" I asked. "Because you don't like me anymore." He said.
"Paul, I like you, I just don't want to date you." I said. "Why not?" He asked. I started driving back to my apartment. "Because I just don't want to date any of my co-stars." I said.
I pulled into the parking garage. I got out of the car and went over to help Paul out of the car. I grabbed his arm and we walked to the elevator.
We got in and went up to my apartment. I unlocked the door and we walked in. Paul sat on the couch. "Get up." I said and he looked at me confused. "Why?" He asked.
"Because I have to clean your cut from that guy punching you." I said. He got up and we walked to the bathroom. I grabbed a wipe and ran it over his cut. "I don't know why you had to get into a fight." I said.
"Because the guy bumped into me, Neens." He said. "It was just an accident." I said as I continued to clean out his cut. "He still bumped into me." He said.
"Whatever." I said. "Are you mad?" He asked. "Yes, I am. I had to pick you up and it is 1:00 AM." I said. "Sorry." He said. "Get out. I have to take a shower." I said. He walked out of the bathroom and walked to the living room.
I took my clothes off and turned on my shower. I walked into my glass shower and started washing my body and my hair.
PAUL'S POV
When Nina was in the shower I came back into her room. I took off my shoes, shirt, and pants. I left my boxers on. I almost fell because I am drunk. I got on her bed and sat against the head board.
I heard the shower stop. The bathroom door opened and a towel was wrapped around Nina's naked body. "Paul, get out!" She said loudly. "No, I want to stay in here with you." I said.
"Go sleep on the couch." She said. "Please can I stay with you." I said. "Fine, but if you try to cuddle me I'm kicking you out of my room." She said. "Okay, fine." I said.
"Can we still be friends with benefits?" I asked. Even though I want to date Nina friends with benefits will be better than nothing. "No." She said. "Why?" I asked.
"Because I don't want to anymore, you fell in love with me." She said. She grabbed some clothes out of her dresser and walked to the bathroom again. After a couple minutes she came out of her bathroom.
She was wearing pajama shorts and a tank top. She turned off the light and got on the bed. When she got on the bed I grabbed her and pulled her close to me. "Paul, stop! What are you doing?" She asked.
"I want to be close to you." I said. "No, Paul. Stop you're drunk." She said. I pulled her tighter to me. "Paul, get out of my room." She said. I let go of her. "Fine, I'll stop." I said.
NINA'S POV
"If you do that again you're going on the couch." I said. "Fine." He said. I closed my eyes. "Goodnight Neens, I love you." He said. My eyes opened and I looked at him. I know he is drunk but did he mean it.
"Why did you just say that?" I asked. "Because I love you." He said. "Paul, you're drunk. You don't love me." I said. "Yes, I do." He said.
He grabbed my face. I grabbed her hands. "Paul, no." I said. I pulled his hands away from my face. "Do you love me?" He asked. "Paul, I'm sorry but I don't know." I said.
He sat up and got off the bed. "Where are you going?" I asked. He grabbed a blanket from my bed. "I'm going on the couch like you wanted me to." He said. "You don't have to." I said.
He didn't say anything as he walked out of my room. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes. I fell asleep.
