The Strawberry Blonde~~Lydia Martin

1.5.2

"Honey, there's a Stiles and Alex here to see you" Lydia's mom announces as she opens Lydia's bedroom door. Lydia was lying on her bed, on her stomach, looking down at her nails with her head resting in her hand. "What the hell is a 'Stiles'?" Lydia mumbles. Lydia's mom, Natalie, turns to look over at us.

"Uh, she took a little something to ease her nerves. You can- you can go in" Natalie says. Stiles and I both walk into her room and Natalie leaves us alone. Lydia turns to look at us and I can't help the way my eyes travel down her long smooth, legs. She was currently in some pajamas and had on a very showing, nightgown. She puts her hand on her hip.

"What are you doing here?" She slurs. Stiles and I glance at each other. "We were just making sure you were okay" Stiles tells her and I nod in agreement. "Hmm" Lydia smacks her lips, looking down at her nails again. She turns back to look at us. "Why?" She asks. She pats the spot next to her and Stiles and I look at each other. He motions for me to sit and I sit closer to Lydia but not too close while Stiles sits beside me.

"We were worried about you" I tell her seriously. "How are you feeling?" Stiles asks as Lydia plays with her hair while looking at us. Lydia suddenly runs her hand over my arm, squeezing my bicep. I suck in a breath. Lydia leans up, closer to me. She leans over me to look at Stiles. "I feel....fantastic" She trails off and Stiles gulps nervously while I let out the breath I was holding. She was way too close.

Stiles chuckles nervously as Lydia leans back. "Sounds great" I manage to get out with a nervous smile as Lydia smiles over at me. "Oh!" Stiles suddenly says. I look over at him confused as he grabs something from her bedside table. It was a pill bottle. He looks it over as Lydia still continues to lean up close to me. Stiles turns to look over at Lydia.

"I bet you can't say, uh, 'I saw Suzy sitting in a shoeshine shop' ten times fast" Stiles challenges curiously. I look over the bottle before turning to look over at Lydia who looked confident she could do it. "I saw Shuzy-" She stops as she realizes her mistake as Stiles and I nod in understanding. She had way too many. "I shaw-" She stops again, leaning closer to me. I could feel her breath on my face.

Stiles smirks in satisfaction, putting the pills back on the table. Lydia drops back down onto her elbow, in a daze. "I saw..." She breathes. Stiles and I glance at each other. "What? Lydia, what did you see?" Stiles asks. "Something" Lydia mumbles. "Something like....like a mountain lion?" Stiles brings up. "A mountain lion" Lydia nods. "Was it really a mountain lion, or are you just saying that?" I wonder.

"A mountain lion" She repeats. "What's this?" Stiles asks, grabbing the stuffed giraffe from off the table, holding it up for her to see. "A mountain lion" She answers. "I knew it" I mutter. "You're so drunk" Stiles sighs as her head suddenly drops...onto my lap. My eyes widen as I look down in shock. Being close was one thing but laying her head in my lap...an entirely different thing.

I try and keep my cool though, because of Stiles. "We should get out of here" Stiles sighs and I nod. He stands up, turning away from me and I breathe out a breath I didn't realize I was holding in. Stiles helps move Lydia off of my lap and we both stand up. "Well, we're gonna...go" Stiles points towards the open door. "We'll let you get back to the whole post-traumatic stress thing" Stiles starts saying as we move to the door.

"Yep. Hope you feel better and thanks for the birthday card" I smile. "It's your birthday today?" Stiles asks confused and I nod as he starts closing the door. "Mm. Stay" We hear. We both pause, Stiles opening the door again. He glances over at me confused and I shrug as we walk back in, him quietly shutting the door. "Us? Stay? You want us to stay?" Stiles asks nervously.

Lydia leans up, nodding her head and patting the spot next to her. She slightly chuckles. Stiles and I look at each other before Stiles takes a seat next to her and I sit beside him. "Yes, please..." She smiles flirtingly. She places her hand on Stiles' thigh as my eyes widen. What was happening? She cups his cheek, leaning closer. She wasn't really gonna do this right in front of me, was she?
