Final part of reader whoās roommates with Simon Riley
This is 3, hereās 1 & 2
Maybe your entire being was capable of defying gravity right now.
Your head felt all floaty and your boots seemed to be the only thing tethering you to the ground. Pure exhaustion mightāve also been a factor, though all of it would soon become irrelevant when you finally made it to your apartment.
You sighed with relief while trying to unlock the door but before you were even successful, it opened inward. Obviously, it was Simon, but unusually he stood there shirtless, his hair a mess and his eyebrows furrowed.
āWhatās wrong?ā you asked him curiously, stepping past him, attention focused on your boots as you slipped them off.
He shut and locked the door behind you before taking your boots and placing them onto the shoe rack, shoulders still tense, āYouāre late.ā
āOh,ā you say teasingly, looking up and directly at him. āDidnāt know you were keeping track of when I got home.ā
You were rather pleased to find out that even his chest flushed when he was flustered.
He dodged your eye contact, looking annoyed, āYou said youād be back by midnight and itās two.ā
His eyes were now back on yours and he looked less embarrassed and more frustrated as he continued, āThought something mightāve happened to you.ā
Sigh, why was he so adorable?
āIām sorry for worrying you, swear I really didnāt mean to.ā He looked so sincere you couldnāt help, but drop the teasing tone. āThe guy I hitched a ride with stayed back to clean, so I had to too. Shouldāve texted you but it totally slipped my mind.ā
āGuy? Couldāve dropped you off and picked you up on time too,ā he grumbled, looking even more upset.
A huff, āYouāre not my chauffeur Simon, you donāt need to drive me everywhere, especially when youāre not planning to go.ā
ā I like drivin-ā his eyes suddenly narrowed while he paused, staring off at a spot on your neck. He pushed your hair aside and turned your head a little. āIs that a love bite?ā
Both the question and the action shocked you a little. Simon never really initiated contact with you unless he had to, so now that he did, and despite how casual it was, it had your mind going more fuzzy.
āWhat? No,ā you say quickly snapping out of it to hold the spot.
He just stares at you, arms now crossed.
That makes you giggle a little, āSimon, are you jealous?ā
He rolls his eyes, turning around, grumbling about how itās not his business anyway.
āWait,ā you grabbed his arm to stop him and he lets you. āItās just a steam burn from when I was doing my hair. The guy isnāt even my type and I feel like Iāve made it fairly obvious that you are but you just donāt seem to get it.ā
Simon is surprised by this and you blink up at him even more startled that youād said it so outright.
āWhat?ā he questions.
Now it was your turn to stare at him deadpanned, āWhat do you mean āwhatā? Iām practically always throwing myself at you. Hell even now Iām struggling to contain myself.ā
āUhuh, like that negates that Iām speaking the truth,ā an eyeroll,ā could always show you if you think Iām lying.ā
It seems he finally believes you then or he maybe just wants to escape the conversation, because he pushes your face away(like really palm directly pushing against your face) and tells you to go shower and go to bed.
āYou canāt refuse.ā
āI can and I will⦠unlessā¦ā
A deep sigh from him, āWhat do you want?ā
āWanna sleep in your bed.ā
āYouāve got your own bed.ā
āBut youāre not in it and I want to be closeā
āDonāt you want to sleep with me?ā you say with feined innocence.
āYou know thatās not what I mean. Not that Iām against it though,ā you continue despite his scandalized reaction.
He sighs, hand coming down to rub his face, āFine, but really only sleep.ā
You rush off to go shower and change.
Afterwards, when his arms are wrapped around you, youāre content to have finally gotten into his bed.
Had to google what being drunk feels like but i donāt think i got it right. I also realized i have no idea how to write flirting/the development of a relationship so apologies if this is just too off/choppy cuz my imagination can only take me so farš„²āš¾Thank you and good nightš
