Chapter 5: Al's Friends

|your pov|

It has been about a week since I've met Al. Everyday we always made sure to either meet or call each other to check in. We sometimes had to call when we were both busy with work. Al came to some of my performances and cheered me on. The only creepy part about my performances was that same creepy man was there. Al took notice of this as he became over protective around me.
     I became a bit anxious because some robberies where taking place where I lived. I was informed about it this morning. Al wanted me to meet his friends at a bar since they worked there. I was currently getting dressed because I had a show. My friend was going to drop me off as Al agreed to take me home.
      I arrived there as I took a quick glance at the ground. I bumped into someone. I apologized as I realized who it was.

"Why hello (Y/N)," Al said while smiling.

"Hello Al," I said as I linked my arm with his.

He brought me up to the bar as I saw the bartender. He was taller by a few inches than Al as he looked intimidating. I was nervous and I'm guessing Al realized. He gently tugged me closer to him as he introduced me to the bartender.

"My dear friend Husker! This is (Y/N)."

"So you finally got yourself in a relationship?"

My face went red as did Al's. "N-no we are just very close friends."

Husk raised an eyebrow as he smirked. "Just wait. Also, Alastor, you realize Mimzy might be jealous once seeing (Y/N) right?"

"Who's Mimzy?"

"Ah my dear (Y/N), Mimzy is a friend of mine. She revealed she is a flapper. She likes me but unfortunately for her, I do not return those feelings towards her."

"Oh," I said looking down.

"Smile my dear! You know you are never fully dressed without one," Al said as he lifted up my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

I blushed at Al as Husk served us a drink. We sat and chatted as Al's friend Mimzy arrived.
She was just a bit taller than me but she had fair skin, short blonde hair along with very plump breasts and thick thighs. She was absolutely beautiful. I looked down at my flattish chest as I quickly looked back up; hoping no one noticed that I basically just checked myself out. Al introduced us to each other as Mimzy and I shook hands. I complimented her on her looks as she beamed brightly. I chuckled as she did so. We talked as we asked one another about our careers. Mimzy said she danced with a group as I told her I also danced. Mimzy was shocked when I told her I sometimes danced solo on stage.
      Even though Mimzy was nice, I realized the little glares she gave me. She glared at me whenever I referred to Alastor as Al. Oh if looks could kill, Mimzy would have killed me whenever Al pulled me close to him. Half an hour passed as Mimzy had to go back up on stage. I wished her luck as she waved at me. As we watched Mimzy and her group dance I realized I was leaning my head against Al's arm. I looked up as Al was looking down at me. He smiled as his face was red. My face immediately went red as I moved my head, apologizing.
However, before I could fully sit back straight, Al gently placed his hand on the side of my head. Leading my head back to where it was before on his arm. I blushed even more as I took a sip of my drink.

"How do you feel about my friends dear?"

"I think they are nice although Husk seems a bit intimidating."

"Hahaha, my darling (Y/N) don't worry. Husk is always like that."

Another hour passed as we both bid farewells to everyone.

|Alastor's pov|

I was walking you up the stairs to your floor as a lady was outside hers. We were 2 floors beneath your little complex as the lady gave you a warning. She warned you about the near by robberies. 'Nearby robberies?' I arched a brow in confusion as you thanked her.
     We reached your floor as you were about to unlock your door. I stopped you as I looked down at you.

"What's wrong Al?"

"Why didn't you tell me about nearby robberies dear?"

You sighed as you explained. "I didn't want to worry you."

"Darling, there isn't a thing in the world that would bother me if it's you. What would have happened if I dropped you off and you got hurt?"

You looked down as you slightly frowned. "Sorry..." You unlocked your door as you held the door open.

"I would feel better knowing you are safe tonight."

"You tilted your head in confusion as I explained to you what I meant.

"You want to spend the night at my place to make sure I'm safe?"

"I know it may not seem appropriate, but I don't care. As long as I know you are safe. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't know you were okay."

You sighed as you let me in. You closed the door and locked it as I looked around. 
The apartment was small but well kept. You had a small couch with a bookshelf behind it. There was a chair near the couch facing towards your small kitchen. You took off your shoes as I did too. I realized I didn't have extra clothes. You led me to your room as you grabbed a box from your closet. You opened it as you handed me clothes. I arched my brow as I asked how and why you had another man's clothes.

"My friend that you met before. Her boyfriend and her slept over at my place once. I had to do an overnight shift that night so I was fine with it. Her boyfriend left his extra pair of clothes here so I kept them in a box in my closet. I was going to give them to (F/N) the next time she came over but I forgot."

I nodded my head as I went to go change in your bathroom. I put on some pyjamas as I walked out. You had on a nightgown as I was about to walk out of your room.

"Wait Al," you said as you grabbed my arm.

I looked down at you. "Is there something you need dear?"

You bit down on your lip as you pondered on your question. "C-can you sleep in here with me? I didn't want to admit it but I don't feel comfortable sleeping alone knowing there's robberies nearby...."

"Of course dear, anything for you."

I was embarrassed at the thought of sleeping with you but I pushed it aside. My top priority was your safety right now. You laid down on one side of the bed as I laid down on the other. We both told each other goodnight as you turned off your lamp.
     I randomly was awoken by someone else's presence. I was going to get up until I realized you had moved in your sleep. I smiled as your head laid atop my chest. I stroked your hair as I kissed the top of your head. I whispered goodnight as I went back to sleep.
