the team was stressing out about our newest mission. we had to create an app.
after a lot of yelling and arguing, billy and nick decided we needed to take a break. we went out to eat and one thing led to another and now we're here, at a strip club.
we had been here for about 2 hours now and i was very very drunk.
i was dancing on the dance floor and i could see stuart sniggering on the side. i waved for him to come dance and he simply just shook his head.
i stuck out my bottom lip and he just rolled his eyes and continued to watch me. i shrugged and began dancing again.
after about 5 minutes of dancing i started to become very light headed. i was about to drop to the floor until i felt to strong arms holding me up. "woah looks like someone had a little too much to drink." i immediately recognized that voice and knew it belonged to stuart.
once i gathered enough strength i sat up and tried to convince him i was fine. "i'm fine." i slurred. then i stumbled backwards and stuart chuckled.
"mhm. why don't i take you home?" i furrowed my eyebrows and stood up, trying to look as normal as possible. "what? no i'm fine." "yeah well i think otherwise. come on, let's go."
he wrapped one arm around my waist and began to guide me back to the table to say goodbye to everyone.
"party pooper." i mumbled as we walked through the sweaty sea of half naked bodies. "what was that?" "oh nothing."
once we made it back to the team, stuart told them that i was completely stoned and that he was going to take me home.
"oh ok bye y/n. i had a lot of funny tonight." neha said while giving me a quick hug. "yeah we'll see you monday." nick said while waving me goodbye.
stuart then wrapped his arm back around my waist and continued leading me out.
"i still don't see why you're making me leave i was having fun." we were now out of the strip club. "yeah you were, maybe a little too much." i rolled my eyes while he was calling us an uber.
when our uber finally came stuart opened the door for me. "wow such a gentleman." "shut up." he said while rolling his eyes and i just giggled.
i then gave the driver my address and we had about a 20 minute drive until we got to my apartment.
about 5 minutes into the drive my eyes started to get heavy and i rested my head on stuart's lap. i felt him tense up and he started to breathe a little heavier. i smirked knowing the effect i had on him.
i have always had a small crush on stuart but never really tried to do anything about it. he was just too confusing. one day he's acting like a total ass and the next he's being the sweetest guy ever. he just sends me mixed signals and i can never tell how he really feels about me.
once we got to my place i lifted my head and stuart helped me out of the car.
when we got to my apartment i gave him my keys and he opened the door. at this point i was barely able to walk. i was on the verge of falling into a deep sleep. i stumble a little and stuart caught me. "alright let's get your room."
when we got into my room i just wanted to take the stupid dress i was wearing off. i started to lift it over my head when stuart freaked out.
"woah woah what the hell are you doing?!" i stopped what i was doing and gave him a confused look. "taking off my dress duh." he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "well could you give a guy a warning?" i smirked and went into my bathroom with some clothes to change.
while i was in the bathroom i could already feel myself becoming more sober by the minute and the massive headache that was starting to form.
when i came out all i was wearing was a long t-shirt and underwear. i saw stuart on the edge of my bed playing on his phone. when he looked my way he just stared. when i noticed his staring i smirked and his cheeks flushed.
you could literally cut the tension with a knife.
he got off my bed while i climbed in it. he just stood there unsure of what he was supposed to do now.
to avoid the awkwardness i asked him if he could go get me a water. "yeah sure."
about a minute later he came back with a water bottle and opened it for me. "thanks." "no problem."
he was now sitting next to me with his legs hanging off the side of the bed and i was fully tucked in with my head against the head board.
about a minute went by of awkward silence.
yes, i could've just told him he could go or he could've just left on his own, but i didn't want to and based on the fact he wasn't leaving i think he wanted to stay too.
he was currently looking at the pictures on my dresser. "you look really pretty in that." here we go with the confusing signals.
"can you just stop with the confusing signals!" my eyes widened realizing i just said that out loud.
his eyes were wide too and his cheeks were tinted pink. "w-what?" "um sorry i didn't mean to say that out loud." "well now that you did, care to elaborate?"
i took a deep breath. no turning back now.
"ok look stuart, i like you and sometimes i can't tell if you feel the same or not. one day you're being an ass and the next you're being super flirty and nice. i would just like it if maybe you could be more clear about how you feel towards me." i wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the fact that i was tired of my feelings being played with, but i was proud and shocked at myself for saying what i did. i think stuart was shocked too.
"i-i didn't know you felt that way." "y-yeah."
there was a small period of silence after that and i was getting nervous.
"so do you?" he turned to me. "do i what?" i rolled my eyes.
god guys are so stupid sometimes.
"do you like me too?" he didn't say anything. "oh god you don't. just forget i said anything! you can go now i'll see you monday. and feel free to never talk to me again." i said muffled because i shoved a pillow in my face.
"what? no no no. that's not it at all." i slowly lifted the pillow off my face. "it's not?" "no. i like you too. i really like you actually. i just can't believe you like me back." i smiled the biggest smile in the world.
"d-do you maybe want to stay?" his cheeks flushed. "sorry! i screwed it up again. god i'm so stupid! of course you're not going to spend the night you-" i was cut off my stuart's lips on mine.
his lips were soft and fit perfectly with mine. he pulled away. "i would love to stay." i smiled again and scooted over for him to crawl in next to me.
he turned my lamp off and wrapped one arm around my waist, while my back was pressed against his chest.
