Chapter Text
I'm left alone with my thoughts as I'm trudging down the sidewalk towards what I think is the way to my apartment. It doesn't help that I'm drunk. And alone. But It didn't start that way-- drunk and alone, I mean. I originally went the bar with my good friend Sydney and her boyfriend, Dom.
Yes, yes. I know that was a mistake already; going to a bar with a friend and her boyfriend. But I was really pissed off at my boss and really needed at drink at the time. Plus, my fiancée and I haven't been on the best of terms. Thus, adding to my desire to get drunk.
Anyways-- Syd and Dom fucking left me at the bar, drunk off my ass. Was it expected? Yes. Am I still mad that it happened? Hell yes. It also doesn't help that their perfect relationship reminds me of my broken one with Serv. We're engaged to be married, although it doesn't seem that way with the amount of fights we've had lately.
I finally walk up the steps in front of a door that I think is my apartment and start banging on the door. Syd and Dom snatched my key like the little shits they are, so I have no way of getting in my own apartment. Banging on the door will probably interrupt their "sexy time" they're probably having, but I don't care-- serves them right for leaving me at the bar.
I'm feeling smug as I hear a groan of disapproval and shuffling of feet walk towards the door. I'm already planning on what I'm going to say to Sydney when she opens the door.
"Thanks for leaving my drunken self at the bar, best friend."
"Oh? Are you mad that I ruined your fun time with Dom? Well too fucking bad you shouldn't have left me at the fucking bar!"
"Oh, I didn't know you lived here now? May I come in?"
But, it was in fact, not Sydney opening the door. And nope, it wasn't Dom either. It was a very attractive woman. A very attractive and sleepy woman.
"Um, yes?"
Oh my god. Her voice is so sexy. Holy crap I was not prepared for this. Wait, I have a fiancée why am I thinking like this?
"I...um...I'm Alex."
"Um. Hi Alex, I'm Tobin. I'm also wondering why you're banging on my door at 2 am,"
She gives me a small smile, but I could tell that she's a little annoyed. I feel guilty and really embarrassed for waking her up this early.
"Yeah, about that...I'm drunk, haha. And I live somewhere in this apartment building, but you see...my friend, Syd, and her boyfriend stole my key at the bar. So I have no way to get in my apartment, that's somewhere in this apartment building." God it sounds even more pathetic when I say it out loud. I cringe internally and hope she doesn't hate me. I wouldn't want such a hot enemy. Again?! Why am I thinking like this! Geez, keep it together Morgan!
She let's out a chuckle and shifts her body between her feet. This is when I finally realize that this attractive stranger, Tobin (her name would be something hot like that, fuck), is wearing nothing but a long T-shirt. I stare at her muscular legs and my face gets red. Hopefully she doesn't notice me not-so-subtly checking her out.
"Well it seems like you're in a pickle," She laughs again and scratches the back of her neck.
I awkwardly laugh and shift my feet, "Yeah, I guess I am. Um, I'm going to go now," I start walking away. But I don't want to. Not because I have no where to go, but because I want to stay with Tobin. Or at least, stay looking at Tobin. I don't know why I'm so attracted to her-I've never been this attracted to a girl before.
"Where would you go?" She asks. I turn around and watch her step out of her doorway and give me a pointed look.
"Um, good question, haha. I actually don't know," I blush knowing that this situation is really embarrassing.
She thinks for a minute before speaking again. And I take this moment to fully check her out. She's definitely an athlete with that body of hers. Maybe a soccer player, or a tennis player because of her really defined legs. And she's not attractive, she's gorgeous.
Wait. I have a freaking fiancée, whom I'm supposed to marry in 5 months! I need to stop thinking like this! But do I really want to marry Serv? Are we really in love?
"Maybe you should just sleep with me? I-I mean like you should stay the night here...I-I mean like, sleep here. Since you can't get into your apartment. Or don't know where it is for that matter," She rubs the back of her neck and blushes. I realized she's scratches her neck maybe twice while I've been in her presence. I wonder why...it's cute though.
I blush as well, but also I instantly get happy knowing that I have more time with Tobin, but I don't know why I would be so happy to spend the night with someone I just met. But something about Tobin makes me want to be closer to her, to get to know her, and to just be in her presence.
"I would love to. Thanks." I give her a smile and she returns one. Her smile is the biggest and brightest I've ever seen. My stomach fills with butterflies since her smile is directed to me. And automatically my smile widens even more if that's possible.
My anger towards Sydney, my boss, and Servando go out the window as I follow Tobin into her apartment, with her smile million watt smile still etched in my mind.
