Mike - First date

I gathered all my courage to tell him this.

After seeing Erwin I understood that I couldn't feel anything more than attraction towards him.

He turned around and our eyes met, he looked fine.
I smiled.

"I think I... I'll accept your feelings, because I like you. I'm still going to be near your brother, he surely needs all the help in the world." I looked down at my feet, trying to hide my emotions.
I was quite confused, never had to confess in my life.
"Our help..." I smiled awkwardly, while the heat got to my cheeks.

I felt a strong hand on my shoulder, but it wasn't reassuring at all.
As I looked up, his eyes desperately told me something was wrong.
But his hug was tight and tender, I lost my mind after.

"Are you sure it's me?" He sinked his head on my neck, hiding on my shoulder, almost lifting me up. But still, his tone was worrying me.

"Mike... Yes! I am..." I reached my hands behind his back. "It's always been you."

...

After promising to Erwin that we would've been back every day, who made a disgusted expression, we left.

"Thank you for coming, by the way." Erwin's smile was everything I wanted to see, even if he was clearly in pain.

Inside the car, Mike glanced furtively at me more than once.
I smiled as if it wasn't something obvious, but I still couldn't forget the discomfort inside his eyes.

"So... What are we doing today...?" I had to ask him myself, wanting to learn about him, while he focused on driving.
I expected him to be happy from my answer and my chest hurt a little by his opposite reaction.

"Let's go on a date." He smiled again but he was being too quiet.
"A date? Where to?" The word date sent chills of expectation down my spine and my uneasiness almost disappeared.

When the car stopped I realized we were in front of a beautiful, huge building.
After we entered, I immediately felt out of place as people impeccably dressed were going in and out through the entrance.
"Where-" This was the only word I could let escape as my eyes wandered amazed on the place.
"This is the hotel where I work at... Well, it's father's but I decided to start from the bottom before managing it all alone."
"Wow, it's really beautiful... But... I feel out of place... Dressed so casually..." I chuckled embarrassed.
Mike smirked as a grey shade dropped on his light pupils.
"Don't worry, I had something prepared for you... I still have my privileges here, you know." When he winked at me, I blushed lightly and hid my hands behind my back.
I couldn't believe myself, I never felt so shy in my entire life.

"Suite 506, Sir. The best view from the fifth floor. I prepared everything you asked for."
I was almost taken aback from the employee's words. A suite?
I felt somewhat anxious.

"Let's go, [Y/N]..." Mike whispered soothingly.

The usher took Mike's coat and showed us the luxurious elevator.
Mike was greeted by everyone on our way and as they smiled to him, I was included too.
I really felt like in a fairy tale movie because there was nothing normal about this building. Everyone and everything looked too precious, like made out of gold.

When he opened the grand door, we were greeted by a sweet vanilla scent and a big master bed. The curtains were painted a deep reddish-brown, together with the carpets.
There was a big vase of dark red roses and chocolate laid on the pillows.
Paradise wasn't even enough of a word to describe that place.
Mike smiled the entire time, without saying a word.
He must've prepared every single detail while I was sleeping, still in the car.

He went to open the big wooden closet and took a gorgeous long dress out, it was red as blood and matched with the room.
There was a little golden jewel on the bustier.
I was quite stunned.
"Wh- Why are you holding a dress?" As a fashion designer, I found the piece of cloth enchanting, it was beautifully made and designed.

Mike laughed "Silly... It's what you'll be wearing. Do you think it's for me? It's a date remember?" He danced around the room with the dress, pretending he was wearing it.
I laughed, now really fucking embarrassed.
Thinking twice, I was inside a suite, in a hotel, with a handsome enormous man who claimed to have romantic feelings for me.
I began to sweat...
"So... That's for me? We're going to have dinner here? What about after?" I looked around blushing.
He just smiled and offering me the beautiful gown, he turned around.
"Que sera, sera..."

I went for the bathroom, a little upset from all this, not because I didn't want to, just because all this fancy stuff wasn't my type of thing...

I looked at myself in the mirror and slided the dress up. It was tight and it hugged my curves perfectly.
The zip placed on the back was the hardest part to pull so I asked Mike to help me up, still feeling so wrong about it.
When the tall man entered the bathroom, his eyes shined and I was left speechless. His smoking was beautiful and showed his well built body, while his hair was styled divinely.
I instinctively looked down at my feet and held my breath.
"Is this an invitation to stay here?"
"S-stop and help with the zip... Please." he noticed my hesitation and smiled lightly.

Just when I felt his presence behind me, my heart stopped.
I never felt like this around him, maybe the realization was too much even for me.
His long fingers brushed my skin as he took his time to do a proper simple task.
I wasn't looking at him from the mirror, due to my embarrassment, but I knew he was enjoying teasing me. He was driving me crazy.
Suddenly, I felt his warm breath on my neck and my mind went wild.

I decided to gather power to look up at him and noticed that he was indeed teasing me, as he blew air to my ear.
I would've played that game too.
When I turned around, I found his expression changing, from mischief to surprise.
Taking off my hair tie, I let my [H/C] mane fall on my naked shoulders.
I held my hand up to rest it on his chest, and starting to walk, I pushed him. Without possibility to leave for him, I felt victorious, feeling his quick palpitations under my palm.
"Close your eyes." I whispered, and when he did so, I tiptoed to his height and blew air on his half closed lips.

"Aren't we going to eat yet?" Mike gulped and when he opened his eyes again, I giggled teasingly.
