Always You || Simon Minter (miniminter)

Chapter 15

We arrive back at the house and I head to the door, Simon pays the taxi and walks up to me, unlocking the door. "Good night," I mumble before walking towards the stairs, I just want to go upstairs and cry.

"Wait Millie," he grabs my hand spinning me round to face him, he looks sad. We stand for a moment just looking at each other, I struggle to stay standing as I forget momentarily I am extremely drunk, "I don't want to talk to you," I look at the floor avoiding all eye contact, I pull my hand out of his and I begin walking upstairs towards my room, fully aware that he is following me.

"Millie c'mon," we reach the top of the stairs and Simons runs in front of me, trying to stop me, which my stupid legs stop walking. I continue to look at the floor knowing that if I look at him I'm either get upset or get angry, "I'm sorry Millie," he tries to take my hand but move it out of his reach, looking up at him I can feel my face burn up and I am now filling with anger.

"You can't just kiss me then say you like me to then say that nothing happened!" I shout, fully aware that the alcohol isn't helping me handle this any better, "you told me that Jide would be fine with it but you just lie to him, what am I supposed to think Simon?" I feel my eyes begin to water, my bottom lip beginning to tremble.

"Just forget everything that happened tonight okay," I look at him, his once ocean blue eyes are now a dark grey, he stands helpless not knowing what to say. "Please," he whispers, taking my hand and entwining our fingers, I look down at our hands then back up to meet his gaze, I sigh and close my eyes slowly leaning forward till my forehead touches his chest.

"I didn't lie about anything I said on the balcony Millie please believe me," he moves his free hand to my back, slowly rubbing up and down trying to comfort me. "Give me a chance," he whispers.

I say nothing. I look up at him and panic is written all over his face, a part of me wants to just kiss him but the other wants nothing to do with him at this moment in time.

"I just don't want to tell everyone just now Millie please understand that, I want this to be between us because I don't want anyone else involved." I frown a little at his words but I understand what he means, I give him a small nod and I squeeze his hand a little.

"I get it, but we can't do this forever, if you want there to be an us people need to know eventually," I whisper, he smiles down at me and pulls me into a hug.

"We can't hide forever," I mumble into his chest. He pulls away from the hug and looks down at me, a grin plastered on his face, "sleep in my room tonight?" He reminds me off a small child, he truly is adorable but I am still slightly annoyed at tonight, it was all so perfect then this all had to happen. "Sure,"

I've taken off my makeup which Simon watched me do, he said that it was interesting for him to watch. I was now in a pair of panties and an oversized t-shirt, sitting on Simon's bed as he was in the bathroom. I lay down and just stare at the ceiling for a minute, I still feel drunk I mean Jide and I did drink a lot, I wonder if Jide's okay.

"You okay?" I jump a little at Simons voice, I look up at him and smile a little, he is shirtless with a pair of shorts on, I nod. "Yeah I'm fine, you?" He smiles down at me and sits down, the bed dipping as he does bringing me slightly closer to him.

"Tired," he looks it, to be honest I'm tired too, tonight has been an eventful start to a new year. I nod in agreement to his comment and I briefly close my eyes, feeling him move I open one eye and I'm greeted to a grinning face above mine.

"Hello," I giggle and look up at him, he's just so adorable I love it. He leans down and our lips meet, the kiss deepens and my stomach fills with butterflies, his hand that isn't holding him up moves and snakes under my waist between me and the bed.

We break way form each other, both at a loss of air. "Come here," Simon whispers, pulling my body to his so I'm curled up against his chest. "I'm sorry again for tonight Millie," he mumbles into my hair, I move back slightly so I can look at him, "it's okay I understand now, Jide is a little scary," I laugh, he has every right to be scared of Jide especially when it comes to me, Jide has almost beat people up because of me so I wouldn't like to think what he'd do about Simon.

"He can be yeah," he chuckles, his chest vibrating against my head but we soon fall into silence, just enjoying finally being able to be with each other. "I'll need to go home soon," I whisper forgetting that all of this can't last forever, it saddens me to think of going home but I know Jide asked me if I wanted to live here with them but I can't just pack up and leave everything at home.

"Didn't JJ ask if you wanted to live here?" Simon looks down at me, a small frown on his lips, "Yeah but I can't just leave everything at home. I'd need to sell my apartment and somehow get all my stuff down here," I look up at him and meet his gaze, he looks lost in thought like he's trying to figure out what to do.

"It's too late for this, we can talk about this tomorrow," I smile slightly knowing at the back of my mind that I will probably have to leave these guys, I can't possibly live here without contributing anything. Simon gently kisses my forehead, "Goodnight Millie,"
"Goodnight Simon."
