Boycott Love (Peterick AU)

Chapter 3

What in the world? I stand there a minute just staring before the realization hits me. It's that person I kinda order yesterday.. Huh. I'm not sure what I was expecting but this sure wasn't it. I mean he's fucking hot. Standing there in dark skinny jeans,  little red cardigan and a fedora. Not to mention those glasses make him look amazing. Like damn. I definitely wasn't expecting this. While he might not be my usual type he is something special. I know, terrible that my first thought is "Wow he's hot". Like maybe he doesn't like guys, and hell I don't even know what he's like yet. I'm getting way ahead of myself here, whoops. He coughs awkwardly startling me back from my thoughts. I was apparently starting at him for a bit.

"So, uh, you must be that lovely live in person I.. well.. ordered? It's nice to meet you, I'm Pete."

The man nods, "Yeah, that's me. I'm, uh, Patrick. Its nice to meet you."

I smile nervously and move out from in front of the door. "Why don't you come on in? I can show you around and help get you settled or whatever?" I ask him with that nervous smile still plastered to my face. A guy that attractive would make anyone nervous, especially when he's here partially to clean my pigsty of a house..

(Patrick P.O.V.)

I walk in and am stunned. This house is pretty nice, what does this guy even do for a living?

"So right now we're in the entry way. Straight ahead is the living room and to the right is a spare bedroom I use as an office." he points to the room then walks towards the living room, I follow behind. "Over there is the kitchen and a bathroom. My bedroom and the guest bedroom are both upstairs." He smiles at me "So uh, I know we haven't really had a great introduction beyond names.. and you'll be living here a while so why don't we get to know one another? Ask each other questions or something?" he asks as he flops onto the sofa. I slowly sit down. This is the part I've been dreading, the questions. It's always the questions. He looks at me and smiles, "Why don't you ask one first?"

I ask the first question that popped into my head, "What do you do for a living? This house is really nice."

I guess he didn't expect this as my first question because he laughed. "Didn't think that would be the first thing you asked, but I work for the production company Young Blood." Well that explains how he could afford this and well to buy me.... "Patrick, how exactly did you get into this odd program thing? Like cleaning? No offense but you look like you should be doing something better with your life. Not that I'm complaining since you are here after all and it really is lovely to have such nice looking hired help" He winks as he says the last part and I blush.

"Well.. My family was going through a hard time. They were struggling to pay the bills and take care of my little sister. I found this place that offered to pay my family so much money a month for two years. My sister was 16 at the time so I knew they would be able to to good care of her until she graduated.. I ended up doing it. While my family wasn't very happy with what I did it has  helped them a lot."

We keep asking each other questions and I find out a lot of random things about Pete. He's a few years older then me (25), produces records, plays the bass, loves pizza, has two siblings, often wears eyeliner. Like I said, random things Of course Pete did learn some stuff about me.I play the guitar, love coffee, wear fedoras, enjoy rock music, can't cook.

We end up debating the best pizza toppings until we both end up falling asleep on the sofa..
