By The Way, I Like You | Stephen x Reader

Chapter Two

Nodding, Stephen then opens the trunk of the car. "Do you need help with your groceries?" He asks. In the cart, there were quite a few bags of items, but nothing that I couldn't handle. Before I could say anything though, Hosuh starts grabbing bags and placing them in the trunk. The other two follow suit as I stare at them doing what I should be doing.

Sighing, I watch as they quickly finish putting my groceries away. Daniel then takes the cart and says that he'll be right back. As he walks away, I turn my attention to the two guys in front of me. They were both taller than me, but I was closer in height with Hosuh than with Stephen. Stephen closed the trunk of the Cadillac and brushes his hands off.

"Easy. You didn't need to do anything, uh..." Stephen starts. It soon hit him that he didn't know what to call me. His eyes widened and he puts a hand on his forehead. "I'm so sorry. I can't believe that I didn't ask for your name."

Rolling my eyes, I wave it off. "It's fine. I was able to catch your guys' names due to you saying them a little bit to each other. My name is Y/N," I hold out my hand for Stephen to shake. "You're Stephen, right?"

Nodding his head, Stephen grabs my hand and shakes it. "It's nice to finally introduce yourself, Y/N," he cockily says and we both laugh. Turning to Hosuh, I hold out my hand to shake it.

"Hosuh, correct?"

He gives me a nod and shakes my hand. "The guy that went to put your cart away is—"

I cut him off quickly by saying, "Daniel." His initial reaction was shock, but it soon changed to a soft smile.

"Yeah. Daniel." He repeats. We let go of hands and as if on cue, Daniel walks over.

Holding out my hand to him, he gives me a confused look. Smiling, I introduce myself. "I'm Y/N. I picked up on your name when you three chatted among yourselves. Your name is Daniel, right?"

Hesitantly, he nods his head in approval. "That's my name. Nice to meet you, Y/N," he shakes my hand and I give him a smile. He smiles right back and we let go of hands. Taking a step back, he steps in the middle of his two comrades. "Well, it was nice meeting you. I hope to see you in the future."

Was this it? Was this all I get for meeting them? Just help with my groceries and an accident in front of the store? Before my brain could process anything, I say, "Well, we should keep in contact. You know, get to know each other better."

The three looked at each other and Stephen nods his head happily. "I wouldn't mind. You see, Stephen always likes making new friends. Unlike Daniel, Stephen's a nice person," Stephen says. If his ego wasn't big enough, I think it just grew. Stephen then takes out his phone and turns it on. "Here. Put your contact on my phone and I'll put mine into yours."

Hosuh then pulls out his phone. "Don't forget about me. I want to get to know you. You seem like a nice person, Y/N." Hosuh says cheerfully as he hands me his phone. Daniel sighs and pulls out his phone to do the same thing.

"I guess I'll have to ask or I'll just be the odd one out and that's only a job for James to have," Daniel smiles while handing me his phone.

I put Hosuh's in my left coat pocket and Daniel's in my right so I can type my information onto Stephen's phone. I gave him mine when he gave me his, so he's been adding his information into my phone. It didn't take long to fill out the basic things, so I handed Stephen's back as he handed my phone to Daniel once he was done. We continued to add our information in quickly and quietly for a couple of minutes before we finally finished. I finished with Daniel's and Hosuh's quickly, so I gave them their phones back. When I got mine back, I checked what they put down.
