Under the lights and behind his hands

Chapter 4: Hardcore Basement

*Steve's POV*

*July 10th*

*5:30 pm*

I had enough of me and Y/n not being together. We're made for each other so why not take her out tonight? I go to Y/n's house and knock. She shortly answers.

"Oh hey Steve."

"Hi Y/n. Are you free tonight?"

"Yeah I'm free. Why?"

"Me and my friend were supposed to go out to eat, but they ended up getting caught in something. I already made reservations, and everything is paid for."

"Oh well I can make it. What time?"

"7 sound good?"

"Yeah. Where is it?"

"You know that one place down the street?"

"The new restaurant?"

"Yup."

"Oh alright I'll be there."

I smile happily before jumping off her porch. Yes! Yes I convinced her! I knew this would work. As I head back home, I turn around and see Greg talking to Y/n... Oh this mother fucker doesn't understand. I sneak to the side of Y/n's house and listen in on the conversation.

"Yeah I should have those cameras up by tonight. You won't be able to use them for a few days unfortunately."

"Why not?"

"I bought one more thing for the cameras and it doesn't come in like 3 days. When it comes though, I'll be here setting the rest of the cameras up."

"Thank you Greg! Oh my goodness I can't express how happy I am!"

She then jumps on to Greg and hugs him.... That bastard has gone too far!

"I'll start the cameras right now. Have them up and working in a few days."

"How much do you want?"

"Don't worry about paying me. I'm just doing something that needs to be done."

She hugs him one more time and he smiles ear to ear. Fucking filthy. Y/n goes in the house and Greg grabs all his supplies to put up the cameras. I walk back to my house and Greg says hello to me, but I ignore him.

*8:10 pm*

I wait at my table. Should I order for her? What would she like? Fuck it I'll get her a water and a lemonade. The waiter comes up and I quickly order our drinks. Y/n then walks in. She looks amazing.

"Hey Y/n."

"Hey Steve. You're dressed up all fancy."

I adjust my tie.

"The place is a bit fancy."

"True. I wish I would've known that."

"You still look great. I mean you have a dress on."

She smiles and sits down. 

"Did you order?"

"I order you a drink. I wasn't sure what to get you, so I got you two things."

"Thanks. What did you get?"

"I got myself a water."

The waiter then returns and sits the drinks on the table. The waiter leaves.

"I'll be drinking both."

"That's nice to know. I'll pay for it don't worry."

"If you say so."
