Tim Bradford X Reader One Shots

I can be happy?

Part 2 to Honest work
~~~

You walked out of your lecture class and looked at your phone to see a text from a number you didn't recognize

*unknown number*
Hey... It's Tim from the other night. I hope this isn't weird but would you maybe want to go to dinner tonight?

You smiled at the text. It had been 3 days and he had yet to text you and you started to lose hope but you looked at the calendar and sighed. "I've got class until 8 so probably can't tonight"

T: Well I have tomorrow off why don't I just bring food to your place after?

You: Yes but I have 1 stipulation

T: Yes?

You: If I tell you to go home and not stay the night you go home

T: Got it

You sighed thankfully at his response and headed to your last class.

You had just gotten home when you heard the doorbell and you quickly walked over to it.

He looked up at you and smiled handing you a bouquet of tulips. You smiled welcoming him in "how'd you know these were my favorite?"

He rubbed his neck and looked down sheepishly "I might have done a little digging" you giggled and walked behind him as he put the food on the counter "What did you find out? Also why the digging?"

He looked at you as you started plating the food "Well I did it because I was curious as to why you are a stripper and-"

You cut him off "Technically I'm an exotic dancer because I don't do sexual favors or anything nude"

He grinned "except for me?" His words more of a statement than a question and it made you blush "yes I uh well you were different"

"How so?"

You groaned "you answer my question first and then I'll answer that" you said directing him towards the table

He nodded "okay so you're an only child I think ... very smart considering you have 2 degrees and are in law school. You have a lot of pictures with I assume is your dad. You play the piano and played soccer in college but I couldn't find anything else"

You chuckled "Not an only child, My moms dead but my dad well he likes to act like it. The guy is actually my brother who is 20 years older" he gave you a confused looked "same mom different dad... she was 16 and then 36"

"Ahhh I see. So now my question"

You rolled your eyes "I do that job for the money and because I know I have a nice body. As far as the other question it just felt different... can I say love at first sight without you getting all weird and leaving" you said slowly as you continued eating.

He shot you a soft smile "yes you can. I believe in it. It is rare but it happens."

You smiled "it's like a magnetic pull. Like everything goes out the window and it's just you staring at me and I just don't know what to do"

You hadn't realized that while you were blabbing he had pulled your chair closer to his at the side. "Is it silly if I say I felt the same way" he whispered inches from your face.
