The rest of the evening was purely Chinese, YouTube and general conversation. Jimmy and I got to know each other pretty well over the last couple of hours, and I was happy that he was able to open up to me. But all good things come to an end, and a little too soon, it was time for him to leave.
"Jesus, it's 12:30!" Jimmy said, checking his phone for the first time in hours. I look at him, shocked, or at least as shocked as I could be whilst chewing egg fried rice. We'd been sat here for eight hours. Safe to say the rice I was eating was stone cold. "Are you serious?!" I asked, checking my own phone. He nodded, "Wow, time really does fly when you're having fun." he rubbed his eyes, and yawned, making me do the same. "It does." I agreed, suddenly feeling extremely tired, realizing that it was after my usual bedtime. As if on the same wavelength, Jimmy said "I'm usually asleep by now." we both chuckled, "Well feel free to pass out on the couch." I joked at him, packing up the remaining food, and taking it over to the fridge. Jimmy grabbed the plates and followed behind me. "Are you sure? It's not too much trouble?" He asked, my heart skipping a beat in my chest. 'Shit, I was joking' I thought to myself. 'Or was I?' I really wasn't, I didn't mind if Jimmy slept on my sofa at all. In fact, I'd actually prefer it to letting him drive home tired. I just didn't want to come across like I was being too forward towards my boss, however, my 'joke' didn't come across as a joke at all, and Jimmy was happy to stay. I was in the clear. I looked at him and nodded my head. "Feel free, it's the least I can do after that gorgeous Chinese." I said, smiling. He gave me the warmest smile back, "Thank you." He said, putting the plates in the sink.
"I've got blankets and pillows in my room." I said, making my way towards my closet. Right on the top shelf was my 'guest bedding', which consisted of two pillows, a duvet, a blanket, and a hot water bottle. I just grabbed the pillow and the duvet, deciding that Jimmy was not the hot water bottle kind of person. That, and I was too tired to make it up now. "Thank you so much Y/N." Jimmy said as I brought them out to him. "No problem." I said, removing the couch cushions and making it as long as possible for Jimmy, as he wasn't exactly short. "Don't worry about that, you get yourself off to bed." Jimmy told me, smiling down at me as I smiled up at him. "Goodnight Jimmy." I said, "Goodnight Y/N". He took a step towards me and hugged me tightly. It wasn't something I was expecting, but it was most definitely something I wanted. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and fully savored the moment. It seemed to go on a little longer than a normal hug between friends, but it was over quicker than I wanted it to be, so I didn't delve too much into it. I made my way into my bedroom, sliding the door across and dived into my duvet. I pulled my jeans off under the covers and undid my bra, throwing them on the floor next to my bed. I could only pray that my cover wouldn't fall off whilst I slept. If Jimmy went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he'd get a full view of my ass in my black lace underwear. He might like it though. Shut up. And with that thought on my mind, I fell into a deep sleep.
The sun was aimed directly at my face when I woke up, shining in my eyes and making the dust flecks look like snow. I looked at the alarm clock and it was way too early. I knew that if I went back to sleep I would wake up feeling a lot more tired than I was, so I thought it best that I just get up now. I sat up, trying to adjust my eyes to the light that had flooded the room. I must've forgotten to turn the heating off last night, because it was lovely and warm in the apartment. I yawned and got out of bed, grabbing a bunch of clothes for the day and made my way towards the bathroom. Just as I reached the door, I heard noises coming from the other room. I was still in a little daze, and had almost completely forgotten that Jimmy had stayed the night, I had almost completely forgotten that I was just in a shirt and pants too, so when he knocked and the sliding door cautiously moved across, I didn't make any effort to move.
"Oh hey", Jimmy said, his eyes lighting up and he saw me, I smiled at him, before the draught from the vent hit my legs and caused my eyes to widen in sudden realization. "Shit, sorry!" I said, moving my pile of clothes to cover me up slightly before darting into the bathroom. I quickly undressed and pulled my clothes on, cleaned my teeth and tried to get the idea of my boss having seen me in my underwear out of my mind. I was a lot more confident last night when the thoughts of him accidentally seeing me went through my mind, now it just seems weird that I'd be walking around half naked. What if he thought I wanted him to see me? That would bring a little awkwardness to our friendship.
I sheepishly left the bathroom, slightly relieved that Jimmy wasn't near, if he was, he would probably have heard me muttering under my breath. I chucked my clothes in the corner of my room and readied myself for pretending like nothing had happened. I slid the door across and walked into the living room. "Good morning." I said to Jimmy, who was routing through my fridge. "Morning sunshine." He replied, pulling some eggs and bacon out and stacking them on top of the other food he had already found. Jimmy was clearly a morning person, which I very much appreciated, as I was the same. Sometimes. "Want some breakfast?" He asked, I nodded erratically, Chinese food had a habit of making me feel absolutely starving the next day, no matter how much I ate. "Amazing, I knew you would" Jimmy said, throwing some sausages in a pan, "I'm just going to run to the bathroom though." He told me, and I nodded, "Sorry for taking so long." I chuckled as he walked past me, "That's alright, I didn't think you'd be awake, sorry for just walking in." He said, his cheeks showing a slight red haze to them. Embarrassment seems to be a consistent problem with the both of us, as I found myself blushing as well. "Sorry for not being dressed for the occasion." I laughed, trying to avoid eye contact with him. "No worries, you've got a nice tattoo." He told me, before closing the door between us. I have a couple of tattoos, but the one he was talking about was most definitely the one that started on my thigh, worked it's way up and over my ass, and ended just at my hip. I smiled to myself, that was proof enough that he was looking.
Jimmy was back in under a minute and tended to the breakfast. "So seeing how early it is, I was wondering if we could stop by mine quickly before work?" He asked, "I don't think it'd look too good if I showed up in the same clothes as yesterday, people might assume things." He chuckled, but it was laced with a slight bit of awkwardness over the subject he was implying. If I was any type of flirtatious, I would've winked at him, but I settled with "It'll be nice to see how the other half lives." I told him, watching as he started chucking more things in different pans. "There's no food in my house, so your place is a lot better than mine." He said, "Yeah, I suppose I do have my own chef now." I laughed, gesturing towards him. "Don't get too used to it, I've got to try your cooking next." He winked at me, causing my stomach to flip. He'd given me a little hope that this was going to be a usual thing, and I couldn't be happier.
