They were working the Black Friday shift when they began having more solid conversations. When they were walking to their cars, he asked to be snapchat friends, she obliged.
They snapped back and forth for a couple of days after that, then exchanged numbers. Then began texting every, single, day. It got a little crazy.
She tried to nudge away any type of feeling she felt toward him, but he kept reeling her in. His charm kept tugging at her and his looks didn't help one bit.
He shared loads about himself, and she kept a lot to herself as usual.
She never liked sharing about herself. She didn't think anything was worth sharing, and even when she did, she thought she was being full of herself and a bother.
Through all the texting, he started flirting. And she was okay with it. She liked his advances but it also bothered her. Tons.
But what could be bothering her? It's just harmless flirting between co-workers, right?
Well, it sort of was. But he has a girlfriend. In Scotland. That he had met 5 months prior to their solid conversations. Whom he is supposedly in love with. And she now has feelings for him. He figured it was more than a crush before she even did! He's kind of a douche in the cocky "assume everything about anything" kind of way.
But it kills her. Her heart gets in the way of her mind. She shouldn't be feeling this way toward a guy like this. He isn't good for her. She doesn't fit his desires. Yet.. he lusts for her. Or so he says.
She's never given herself to anyone. She isn't fond of sexual interactions with whomever if the feeling is less than love. Why on earth should she give herself to someone for the first time if she does not love him? Why on earth would she give in to such pleas from a boy she works with who she practically just met?
She doesn't. At least, not all the way..
They talk and talk. A friendship blossoms. But it's like that lyric from an All Time Low song:
He pleads though he tries, but he's only denied. Now he's dying to get inside.
But more in a sexual context and not the context the song was speaking of..
He asks her to go to lunch sometime. She says "sure, why not." The day of comes and they both decide they're too tired to actually go out to eat. So, he invited her over. She thinks about it for a bit, then gives in. She thinks it'll be harmless. Nothing will happen. She trusts herself.
She knows his intentions, he made that very, very clear early on in they're conversations. But oddly enough, she trusts him, too. But how could she trust a guy she just met who was blunt about wanting to do her?? Who knows. She doesn't even know.
He picks her up, they get to his house, she meets his rat dog, AKA, lil bitch, and he shows her one episode of some awful werewolf show on Netflix. She teased him about liking shows like that, his step dad walked into his room to ask him a question (awkward) then leaves, then he points out how awkward she is being and asks her to lie down and cuddle. After fighting with herself about whether or not she should, she does. He wraps his arm around her and it's comfortable. He asks her if her back still hurts, she says yes. He gives her the best back massage she's ever had. They go back to cuddling.
From this point until he takes her back home, he pleads and begs her to let him do something, anything. She says no every time, and he gets frustrated. Not in a scary, controlling, basically rapey manner, but in a hilariously cute "omg why not" manner. She laughs tons at his frustration, and he chuckles with her. All in all, it wasn't a bad time, and she was okay with whatever had happened that day.
