I will do a part 2 (smut) at the end of the week <3
"[Y/N]! Are you free this weekend? I found something I think you might like."
"Hey, Ethan," I sighed into my phone as I added curry paste to the oil to start my dinner. "Nice to hear from you too! Got a girlfriend yet?"
"..." A sigh came from the other side of the phone. "No, but I want to know why you and Mia can't get along."
'How am I supposed to know?! I like her! I think she's sweet — to everyone except me, apparently,' I clicked my tongue before speaking. "Ask your best friend — she's the one that has the problem."
"Did you ever-?"
"Bye, Ethan, I have to make myself dinner!" I hung up and slid my phone down the counter. "I wish we could get along."
After I finished making dinner, my phone chimed, causing me to look at the device. I rolled my eyes when I saw the message from Ethan, grabbing my phone and bowl before making my way to my couch. Once I settled on the couch, I turned on a movie and unlocked my phone to read the message.
"Hey, I heard this cool new spa opened up — Mia mentioned it. Wanna go?"
I rolled my eyes while typing a response before another message came through. "Mia agreed to go with you — she's wanted to go for a while, but didn't want to go alone. This could be your chance to start over with her."
'Why do you care so much?!' I held in a groan before sending him one word. "Fine."
Morning
I grabbed my wallet and keys while I headed out the door, locking it behind me before jogging to the sidewalk. Mia smiled at me as I got in the car, waiting for me to get situated before our taxi took off. 'Ethan said he paid for everything,' I glanced over at Mia before looking out the window. 'Let's hope this goes well.'
"Did you actually want to do this?" Mia asked out of nowhere, making me turn my head to face her.
"...Yeah, seems fun," I responded as I looked out the window again. "I needed a break from work anyway."
"What are you working on this time?"
"...Gama radiation research. Ethan would be pissed if he heard us — work talk during a girl's day out."
"He never understood the scientist life — no matter what, we're always thinking about work," Mia laughed, sparing me a glance as we made a turn. "Have you eaten yet?"
"Only a small breakfast. We're apparently getting lunch with the pack Ethan chose — I was hoping we could get something after the spa, but I'm unsure how long this will take."
"Well, I hear from Ethan that you are an amazing cook-,"
I chuckled and shook my head as we stopped outside of the spa. "I wouldn't go that far."
"And I would like to try your cooking."
"...I'll think about it."
Mia paid the driver as we got out, thanking her as she drove off before we entered the building. 'Looks like he went all out,' I internally sighed as I greeted the woman at the front desk, nodding when she asked if 'Ethan Winters' called and set up the appointment for two. 'How long has he been planning this?!' Once Mia was at my side, we followed the woman to the back to get ready.
At the end of our session, I let out a long sigh — waiting for Mia to finish getting her makeup done. 'She was in a good mood all day — I don't think there's a single thing that has upset her today,' A smile slowly formed on my face at the thought. 'Maybe I will take her up on her offer and make dinner. This did go later than we thought.' I glanced up when Mia came out, slowly standing and trying to snap out of the shock of how gorgeous she looked.
"Hey, ready to go?"
"Yeah," I breathed, glancing away when she sent me a smile. 'Calm down, heart!'
"Mind walking me home?"
"You're out of my way — it'd be almost forty-five minutes after I drop you off."
"Are you really going to let a pretty girl like me walk alone? It's cold," She sent me a pout as we stepped outside, grabbing my hands as we faced each other. "I'll make you whatever dessert you want."
I took a deep breath and glanced to the right, trying not to laugh at her pout. "...Alright, fine. What do you want me to make?"
"I'm thinking... Greek. How about rump steak with baked pumpkin and feta?"
"...Wow," I whistled as she looped her arms around mine and began walking me toward her house. "Yeah, I think I can manage that. You do have everything I'll need, right?"
"I went shopping yesterday."
I laughed as we continued walking — the conversation shifting to a work-based topic. My phone vibrated once we entered Mia's house, indicating a text message from — most likely — Ethan to ask about the spa trip. I followed Mia into the kitchen after sending Ethan a text saying I'll tell him about the spa trip in the morning, turning my phone on silent as we grabbed the necessary ingredients for the meal.
After about an hour, everything was ready, and I moved the meal to the dining table that Mia had set up. 'Looks like a dinner date,' The thought made me pause after I set down the plates. 'This entire day has felt like a date, now that I think about it... That's wishful thinking.' I took my seat as Mia left her room — now in an oversized shirt and some shorts.
"That's cheating," I muttered as she sat across from me.
"What?"
"You get to change and be comfortable — I have to stay all dressed up until I get home."
"I'm sure I have something in your size," Mia hummed and poured us some wine. "And, you don't have to go home after this. I have a spare room."
A chuckle left me when she motioned toward the room she mentioned. "What is with you today? You've been so... different."
"...I guess I just... Changed. Self-reflected for a bit and decided I hated the way I treated you."
I nodded and stood slowly, offering her a small smile. "I like nice Mia."
A scoff left her while a pink hue appeared on her cheeks, bringing a smile to my face as I left the table. Once in the room, I sent a goodnight text to Ethan — letting him know I might be staying at Mia's place tonight. 'There, now he knows he can't swing by my place in the morning for breakfast.' I got changed after that, slipping my phone into my shorts pocket before leaving the room again.
Mia whistled as I joined her at the table again, her eyes scanning over my body. 'It's like she knew I would pick this shirt and was waiting for her assumption to be right. She looks so pleased with my choice.' I watched her turn her phone off and set it off to the side before she moved to take the first bite. When she let out a pleased hum, I relaxed and began eating as well.
After dinner, we moved back into the kitchen — Mia working on dessert while I washed the dishes. While she continued with the dessert, I straightened up the dining table and sat down again, taking out my phone to look through the group chat messages from work. 'I know I shouldn't be working, but Mia said dessert might take a bit — just skimming over what happened won't hurt.'
"[Y/N], dessert's ready!" Mia called after a while, making me close out of the group message and slide my phone into my pocket again. "I have two things! One is rice pudding."
"What's the other?" I called as I stood and began heading into the kitchen.
"Something you'll hopefully love."
I froze when I entered the kitchen and saw Mia, my jaw dropping as I took in the view. Her shirt was pooled next to her feet, but my eyes remained trained on her chest. "You..."
"Well?" Mia purred as we slowly met in the middle, guiding my hands to her body. "Do you like whipped cream? I seem to have gotten some on me."
"...Mia..."
Hesitation and heartbreak flashed in her eyes — solidifying to me that she was serious and returned my feelings. "Heh... Please tell me I didn't read all of your signals wrong."
"N-no! Uh... I-I just thought — you and Ethan?"
"Ethan likes me. I never said I returned his feelings. We agreed to just be friends a long time ago — he's working on moving on."
I nodded slowly before wrapping an arm around her waist. "I see. In that case; took you long enough to connect the dots."
"Even a genius doesn't know everything."
"I just expected you to be faster."
"Speed isn't everything," She hummed, guiding my head to her chest. "Now, will you take the leap with me?"
