Eyes Off You || Nick Mara x Y/N

your pov

I got home from filming myself shopping since I was going to upload a haul video tomorrow and my roommate, aka my best friend who moved out here with me, y/bff/n was making dinner. I walked into the kitchen and hopped on the counter to sit, she turned to me raising an eyebrow.

"what?" I said trying to look over her shoulder to see what she was making. "So you're not going to tell me anything about your date or the fact that I heard him leave from this very house IN THE MORNING while I was getting ready for work?" she asked, shifting her body to face me completely, making it impossible to see what she was making.

"The date went... really great," I said smiling then quickly looking down to bite my bottom lip. 

"Mhhhhm, I heard how great it went. 'OHhHHhH NiCk DoN'T sTOoOooP'" She said mimicking me. I looked up and glared at her, throwing the loaf of bread that was out on the counter next to me at her. She dodged it and laughed. 

"You're STOOOPID," I said laughing. 

"So are you gonna see him again?" she asked turning back to cooking the meat sauce she was making for the pasta. 

I shrugged and looked at my phone. "I don't know, he hasn't texted me all day. I don't wanna look needy or clingy ya know. If he wants to hang out again he can hit me up." I said hopping off the counter and walking to the fridge to grab a water bottle. 

"You think he hit it and quit it?" she turned off the stove and drained the pasta from the other pot onto the strainer that was already sitting in the sink.

"I don't know..." I said trailing off wondering if he did hit it and quit it... I mean I shouldn't really care, I'm not looking for anything serious right now... right?

"hellooooOoOOO, earth to y/n," y/bff/n said waving her hand in my face, I guess I zoned out for a second.

I rolled my eyes and opened the water bottle sipping it. "It doesn't matter if he is or not. I told you and Ansley this is just a rebound. And I rebounded. So, case closed." I leaned against the counter and she crossed her arms.

"I know you y/n, you suppress things. Just take care of yourself first." She said before turning around, knowing I'm not good at talking about how I feel because I never know how I really feel. She knew the conversation wasn't going anywhere so she changed the subject, "You hungry now?" 

I shook my head, but I realized she wasn't facing me. "Oh nah, I actually ate before coming home, I didn't know you were cooking tonight." I lied. Why did I lie?

I saw her nod her head while serving herself. "alrighty y/n."

"I'm going back up to my room to film the sit-down part of my haul video and go to bed. Goodnight babes." I said before running upstairs. I heard her yell out goodnight before I closed the door to my room.

I didn't film. I just took a shower and laid in bed, wishing Nick was cuddling me to sleep. Why am I thinking about him? Why am I kinda in my bag right now? This wasn't even a thing until stupid y/bff/n brought it up. 

Before I knew it I drifted off to sleep.

Nicks pov

I laid in bed, staring at the text she sent me.

My phone light started burning my eyes. It hasn't gotten out of my head since I got it. I left lunch early and went on a long drive. Before I knew it, it was night time. I got some drive-thru McDonald's and went back home.

I took a long shower and now here I am. Stuck on stupid.
