Fika: Joakim "Jolly" Karlsson x OFC-One Shot(JP Universe)

Part Two

ASTRID

Straightening out my black floral sundress, I knocked on the front door and waited patiently. Surprisingly it was a warm February evening in Los Angeles but I still wrapped my jacket tighter around me and then tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, opting to leave it down tonight. Exhaustion crept into my bones after a long day of running the cafe but at about seven, I left Jessica and Tori to close up so I could come here.

All day, I could only think of mine and Jolly's kiss and the way it made me feel so alive. Yes, it made it harder to work today but it was worth it when I remembered how his lips tasted or how he smelled. Every part of him had absorbed into me with our kiss and I craved more.

Earlier today, Jolly texted me the address to his house and a time of when to show up. So here I was six p.m. on the dot shaking out the nerves just as the door opened, the music from the house spilling into the street.

"Hey, Astrid!"

I smiled at Jesse. "Hi!"

He waved me inside. "Come on in. Make yourself at home.

Stepping over the threshold, I did my best to calm my nerves again when I noticed a lot of unfamiliar faces and I felt very out of place. I was two seconds away from turning on my heels and leaving until Y/N stepped into the living room from a hallway.

"Astrid, hey!" Her cheery voice waved me over. "Jolly told me you were coming. I'm so glad because I'm so over being the only girl at these things."

"Yeah," I chuckled, then held up a bag. "I-uh-brought some sweets from Fika. It was the batch that didn't sell today and I figured you guys would enjoy them more than being tossed out."

Y/N's eyes lit up as she took the bag. "Oh my gosh, you know the way to my heart. Let me introduce you to everyone."

She linked her arms with mine, and that simple action washed away every anxiety I had tonight. I couldn't explain it but Y/N seemed to be the sunshine in a dark room, making everyone forget the bad in their life for a few moments.

First, she pointed to a couple that was leaning against the kitchen island, hand in hand.

"This is Malcolm," Y/N motioned to a tall man with long auburn curls and hazel eyes that mirrored my own.

"And his boyfriend, Chase," then she pointed to a man next to Malcolm.

His head was buzzed, only fuzz of his blonde hair, but his bright blue eyes were striking.

"They're also my best friends and roommates," Y/N informed.

"Nice to meet you, Astrid," Malcolm smiled.

Chase nodded. "Jolly hasn't stopped talking about you all night."

I shuffled my feet, wondering what exactly Jolly had told them about me. "Oh?"

"It seems as if someone is smitten," he smirked behind the cup as he brought it to his lips, taking a sip.

Y/N waved them off before leading me toward another group of guys that sat at the kitchen table.

"Geez, you weren't kidding about being the only girl here," I joked with a smile.

"Tell me about it so if I seem a bit clingy, I apologize. It's just nice to have another female here."

I patted her arm reassuringly. "You're fine, Y/N. I don't mind at all."

As we stopped in front of the table, six sets of eyes stared at me. All of them had a wide variety of tattoos but warm smiles.
