Steve didn't sleep that entire night

Steve didn't sleep that entire night.

Instead he grilled Dustin on things related to Dart, needing to keep his mind preoccupied. Wednesday looked very suspicious on where Bella was but when Dustin asked and Steve got weird she knew something was up.

She left the two 'idiot flesh bags' to go and see her sister leaving Dustin confused and Steve grimacing.

Soon even the kids went to bed for the night but Steve kept busy. He made sure to find the stuff he would need for Dustin's plan, his mom's rubber sink gloves, buckets, and a gallon of gasoline.

He even started getting meat from his parents deep freezer to start thawing but it still didn't seem like it was enough for a monster.

Soon he started looking up butcher shop phone numbers in the phone book to call as soon as opening time came around.

By the time the others woke up Steve was slumped on the counter tapping fingers sluggishly while on the phone. Admittedly it made Bella feel bad noticing the dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep.

They actually made him look even hotter if possible.

But she brushed it off not wanting to think of his previous confessions from the night before any longer.

It had given her hope but- she knew his true intentions behind his words would crush it. He didn't really want her he just wanted to stop the pain Nancy had left him in. Or worse he just wanted to get even with his ex using her for nothing but sex again.

"Yeah I'm sure I need 30 pounds of fresh diced raw meat. It can even be a mixture of pork, chicken, and beef just- whatever you have." Steve sighs into the phone his eyes finally noticing his audience and lingering longer than necessary on Bella who avoids even looking at him now.

Even after sleeping she still looked beautiful, her hair still styled in its usual dark waves. And her lips bright red against her contrasting pale white skin.

"Uh Um- yeah I was hoping I could pick it up in like an hour?" Steve asks with hope before slamming the phone against his head.

"I know it's a bit last second on a weekend but- I'm willing to pay extra for the rush order." He offers and finally looks relieved nodding before looking a bit gobsmacked by whatever price they said.

Rolling his eyes and staring pointedly at Dustin he agrees to the price before slamming the phone down in annoyance.

"I just had to use the rest of the money my parents left me while they're gone on your stupid plan so it better work." Steve huffs rubbing his aching temples feeling like he could suddenly fall  sleep at any second.
