A/N: Am I the first to mention Kaya in a story if so... iconic? Excuse any typos for now I write these on my phone.
The brightness of the sun wakes me up and I slowly open my eyes. I look out the window and wonder what time it is so I turn to my nightstand to look at my clock. As I turn aroung I immediately become confused as I see my nightstand is missing. I look down and quickly realize I'm not in my bed. I look around frantically and my stomach drops when I realize someone's in bed with my. I pull off the covers and become relieved when I see my clothes are still on. I decide to see who's in bed with me so I turn the person's shoulder as much as I can without waking them. I start to panick when I notice that the very person that's in my bed is technically my boss, Julian. Memories from last night start to come back to me. I remember drinking so much from losing all the games I couldn't walk and Julian having to carry me. That would explain me being in the hotel room but it doesn't explain why we're in bed together. I try to remember more but I can't and I notice that Julian begins to shift on the bed. I hold my breath in hopes he'll fall back asleep so I can sneak out. To my dismay Julian opens his eyes and immediately stares at me.
"You look great in my shirt." He smiles. His shirt? I look down at what I'm wearing and realize in fact that I'm not wearing my outfit from yesterday. I look to Julian and now notice he's not wearing a shirt at all. I immediately look away and blush.
"I have no idea why on Earth I'm wearing your shirt but if it means you'll be clothed you can gladly hand it back." I say.
Julian smirks, "if you want to get undressed in front of me so bad I'm not going to stop you."
"T-that's not what I meant and you know it." I blurt out. Julian laughs again and I search for my other shirt so that I can change back. Julian notices this and says
"Your other shirt is in the wash, you kind of dumped your entire drink on it." I become more embarrassed remembering that ordeal and shift nervously.
"If my irresistible body bothers you so much I'll cover it up don't worry I have more shirts." Julian says laughing.
"Your body is not irresistible." I scoff
"Oh then I can he remain shirtless," he asks with his eyebrow raised.
"Go get changed!" I say hitting him with a pillow. Julian laughs again as he gets up and rummages through a suitcase. He eventually gets a shirt and tugs it on. Noticing my awkward stance he reaches into a drawer and throws something at me. I look for what he threw and realize it's my phone.
"Didn't want you to lose it with how smashed you were last night." is all he says.
I groan, "please don't remind me.
"You're telling me you don't want a reminder of all the fun we had when I helped you into my hotel room?" He asks.
"All the what we had?!" I saw panicked. He immediately laughs at my reaction.
"Calm down we didn't do anything. Although you are a very clingy drunk." He laughs. It hits me that he was rummaging through a suitcase and I ask,
"Hey wait you have a suitcase, are you guys traveling?"
"We're a band.. we're touring," he says trailing off.
"So I'll have to travel with you guys right? How do I even get a ticket?" I continue to ask.
"Don't worry I'll just ask Juliet to take care of it." He assures me.
"Yes because I definitely entrust my life and safety to Juliet. She'll probably have me booked on a plane to hell." I say and Julian starts laughing.
"Hey I'm serious! I could've sworn she was trying to kill me yesterday." I add on.
"Alright, alright I'll just have our other manager Ryan to take care of it. Besides we also have to get your paperwork in order."
"Hold on, my paperwork?" I ask confused.
"Well you do technically work for me. Sorry girlfriend privileges won't get you out of it." Julian says winking.
"Hey I still don't remember you even asking me to be your girlfriend, much less agreeing to it." I shoot back.
"It came in the fine print of the assistant agreement, you clearly didn't read it. Besides if it means keeping Juliet off of me we may as well get married soon." He mumbles.
Before I can retort Julian says
"C'mon we have to go meet up with the band and then go see Ryan, let's head out."
I look for my shoes and quickly put them on. I grab my phone and Julian hands me my wallet as he grabs his camels. We head out and Julian hails us a taxi. After about half an hour we reach a restaurant and Julian holds on to me as we walk in. I would usually protest but I can't deny I like having someone as attractive as Julian give me attention. We walk over to a booth and I see the rest of the strokes sitting there already.
"That shirt looks awfully familiar y/n." Albert quips.
"How was your night in paradise with Jules y/n?" Fab adds on. I blush at their comments and turn away.
"Leave her alone idiots." I hear someone say.
"Aww is Nicky jealous he didn't get laid." Albert jokes and I hear Nick reply with a "fuck you."
"Alright let's just order something already I'm starving." Julian says putting a cigarette in his mouth.
"Is smoking even allowed in here?"
"Don't know, don't care." He says lighting it. I roll my eyes and take his menu to look at the options. After about 5 minutes we're all ready to order and Fab flags down a waitress. Julian puts out his cigarette as the waitress walks up to our table.
"How can I be of service gentleman?" She says just a little too friendly while sticking out her chest even more. I catch Julian role his eyes at this.
"Well beautiful are you on the menu because I'd definitely love to have you." Albert tells her. She giggles but her attention is focused on Julian.
"Sorry I'm not an option. But I can be." She replies looking Julian up and down. I feel Julian stretch his arm across my shoulders as he tells her, "we'll have the pancake combo."
The waitress glares at me and takes the rest of the guy's orders before storming off.
"Well y/n it looks like you're going to be making a lot of enemies being with Jules there. Although I don't understand why they like him when I'm right here." Albert says as we wait for our orders. We laugh at this and continue chatting until our food starts to arrive. Everyone gets their food except Julian and me. Julian mumbles something and callsnout to an older looking waitress.
"Sorry to be a bother ma'am but we haven't gotten our order and our entire table has already been served." Julian asks politely.
"I'll check it for you right away sweetie. Do you know who your server was?" She asks.
"Her nametage said 'Kaya'" I reply.
"I'm on it don't you two lovebirds worry." She says walking off.
"Wow Julian you've even managed to make a grandma fall in love with you." Nikolai pipes up.
We laugh and see an angry Kaya storm to our table.
"Here's your order. Enjoy." She says im the most bitter voice possible. Jules pushed the plate towards me and motions for me to eat as he only takes sips from his coffee. The guys discuss tour and setlists while I eat in silence and soon we all finish our breakfast.
"You have some crumbs on your..." Julian mumbles as he reaches over and brushes the crumbs off my face.
"Thanks." I whisper.
"Here's the tab." Kaya suddenly speaks up throwing the crumpled piece of paper onto the table. Everyone puts in their part of the bill and Julian pays for mine. We walk out and I can feel Kaya glaring daggers at me. Everyone starts to go off in their own separate directions and I look at Julian confused.
"Our meeting is in 2 hours you can go freshen up in the meantime. Also buy me a pack of smokes and send me your address so I can pick you up." He says before walking away. I make my way back home and immediately hop into the shower. After getting changed and brushing my hair I quickly text Julian my address. I grab my wallet and keys and head out to the store to pick up Julian's pack. I walk inside and hear the cashier greet me.
"Hey there y/n nice to see you again." He says.
"Uh hey..." I trail off since I never learned his name.
"Brendon. So are you back for your boyfriends pack of Camels?" Brendon asks.
"How did you know I was getting camels this time?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows.
"Your shirt." He says pointing.
I look down and realize I had unconsciously put Julian's shirt back on after I showered. I blush
"Yeah, can I just get a pack of Camels." I mumble. "And he's NOT my boyfriend." I say rolling my eyes. Brendon laughs and hands me the pack. I thank him and pay.
"Well if this mystery guy isn't your boyfriend maybe you'll go on a date with me?" He asks handing me my change.
"I'm actually leaving town soon and I probably won't be back for like a month." I reply nervously.
"Well then in a month you owe me a date." Brendon smiles. I laugh nervously and make my way out the door. As I'm leaving I hear Brendon yell "see you around! Bring me a postcard!"
I hurry back to my house and get a message from Jules saying he'll be here soon. I don't even bother going inside and wait by my door instead. I'm tempted to steal a cig from Julian but he'd probably kill me. I settle on fiddling with the box and soon I hear a car pull up. I see Julian stretch to open the door and he says "M'lady." I laugh and take a seat next to him. The driver speeds off but soon we're stuck in traffic. Julian eyes the box in my hand and looks at me questioningly. I mutter a sorry and throw him the box. He immediately opens the box and takes out a cig. He lights it and takes a drag. He notices my staring and lifts his eyebrow.
"You want a drag?" He asks holding out the cig to me.
"I've never..." I trail off.
"Just take a drag it won't kill you."
I lean over and take a drag. I let the smoke sit in my mouth before blowing it out. I hear Julian mutter 'fuck.'
"So how was it?" He asks composing himself.
"I still don't get your addiction Casablancas. But it wasn't bad." He hums at my response but doesn't reply. Soon we reach a building that stands by itself and the driver pulls into the parking lot. Julian throws the remains of his cigarette out the window and makes his way out of the car. I reach for the handle to get out but Julian opens the door for me and helps me out. I follow him into the building and wait as he shows the guard his id. We walk down a long hallway and come face to face with a door and a small plaque that says 'The Strokes.' He opens the door and let's me walk in first. No one else is there yet so he motions for me to sit as we both wait for the rest to arrive.
