"Do you wanna go somewhere?" The woman asked seductively. Bose had been making out with her in the back booth of the night club and things were getting pretty heated between them. He didn't bother asking her name because he knew that after tonight they'd most likely never see each other again. She was hot, curvy in all the right places and that's all he needed to know.
Bose moved his hand teasing up her thigh then looked away into the crowd. He'd almost forgotten that he wasn't here alone. It was Chapa's idea for the four of them; Bose, Mika, and Miles to take a day off from fighting crime and enjoy being nineteen. He turned around and leaned in to kiss her, his hands gently gripping her hair and she moaned into the kiss. He pulled away and was about to agree to go somewhere more private, just the two of them when the dance floor had caught his attention.
It was a drunk Mika subtly grinding onto some random dude. He stood behind her holding her hips and his head hung over her shoulder hungrily looking down at her cleavage. Bose had never seen Mika so out of it. Sober Mika would never be caught dead acting so provocatively in public. He was going to ignore it but then the guy whispered something in her ear and Mika giggled like a child. Bose shook his head and his 'date' turned his head around desperately trying to his attention. Bose melted into the kiss but his eye's opened back up to see the guy trying to balance Mika as she held onto her things leading her out the door.
Bose's heart skipped a beat and Instinct took over. He pushed the woman away and quickly got out of his seat to stop him. When Bose reached them he grabbed Mika's hand and pulled her away. "She's not going anywhere with you," Bose growled. "Mind your business" The man sneered and tried to take Mika back but Bose guarded her. Mika, too drunk to understand what was happening, started winning, " We're just gonna have fun," She told Bose. Bose ignored her because obviously, she didn't understand that this douche bag was trying to take advantage of her.
"Better luck next time, asshole," Bose cursed and turned his back on him. He held Mika around the waist as she rolled her head back annoyed, "I wanna stay,". "Yeah yeah come one," Bose soothed her. Bose looked around to see if he could find Chapa or Miles anywhere but didn't see either of them. He carried Mika's small purse, guided her out of the bar and to his car.
The whole way Mika was mumbling nonsense and laughing at random.
He was gonna take her to her place but when he looked into his purse for the keys he didn't find them. So Bose took her to his place instead. When they got there, Bose unlocked the door still holding onto Mika, "look at all those pretty stars," She swayed around the doorway. Just as Bose locked the door Mika started to fall over and he hurried to catch her, " Seriously!? You just had to get wasted," Bose half-joked easily picking her up bridal style and into his room. The whole time Bose sweetly watched her head resting on his chest. She was adorable like this.
He carefully laid her down and she sat up beaming. "I wanna party," She groaned, still very much out of it. Bose took his jacket off and leaned over her gently pushing her back down. "Well, you can't Mika, you're too drunk to function," He quietly told her. "Woah, Mika's such a pretty name!" She gushed. Bose laughed at her foolishness, knowing he'd never let her live this down.
He still hovered over Mika watching her lazily play with her hair. He always thought Mika was really pretty, too pretty for her own good even. He started thinking about what might have happened to her if she had left with that guy. He wouldn't have ever forgiven himself, even if he didn't see what was happening.
Mika looked at him giggling and placed a childish grin on her face. Bose smirked and was about to stop leaning over her until Mika reached out for his face and slammed their lips together. Bose's eyebrows shot up and he was too much in shock to stop her. The harder she kissed him the more he wanted. without thinking Bose started kissing her back until he realized that she didn't know what she was doing. He immediately detached his lips from hers, stood up off the bed, and stared at her still in shock. Mika pouted asking, "Don't you want me?".
Bose was at a complete loss for words. "We can't- we can't do this. You're not in the right headspace," He gulped. Mika ignored his comment. Her mood completely changed, and she happily stretching her arms saying she was tired. Bose had already taken her heels off for her in the car to help her walk better. Bose went on to disregard the kiss and started digging through his draws for a shirt. "Here," He said tossing it to her and she caught it.
Bose turned around and let Mika get undressed. He heard a few grunts and thought about helping her but restrained himself, from seeing what he wasn't supposed to see. "Are you done?"He asked staring at the wall. Mika hummed and Bose took it as a yes. When he saw her petite figure in his oversized shirt, he tried to contain a smile by biting his lower lip. Mika started getting into his bed and Bose made his way over to cover her with the blanket. He reached for the trash can on the side of the nightstand and placed it right next to the bed turning Mika over. "If you need to throw up all those toxins, i'd really appreciate it if you didn't get any on my sheets," He tucked her hair behind her ear.
Mike smiled closing her eyes and getting comfortable. Bose dug through his draws again for a pair of sweats to take outside with him. Looks like he'd be sleeping on the couch tonight.
The next morning Bose was in the kitchen making coffee, gray sweats, and shirtless. He heard a small moan and Mika walked in, still in his shirt, one hand massaging the side of her scalp tiredly. "Good morning beautiful," Bose teased. "Screw off," Mika grumbled, her head pounding. She pulled a chair out and sat at the counter. When she woke up in Bose's bed a slight panic did overcome her but then she relaxed when she saw that the bed looked like only she had slept in it. She didn't remember much, just that she was absolutely shit-face drunk the night before. Bose handed her a big mug filled with black coffee and some pills. Mika sighed feeling less grumpy. Hangovers we're the worst.
"Do i even wanna know, what that Mika did last night?" She brought up taking a sip of her coffee. "If it makes you feel better, i wasn't really paying attention..." Bose chuckled pouring cereal into his bowl, "Until some guy tried to take you with him to God knows where," He shook his head.
Mika slowly put her mug down when he mentioned that. Was she really that out of it that she was ready to follow a stranger 'home'? It was over, but the thought of what could have happened to her still scared her. Bose closed the cap to the milk and looked for a spoon. "Thank you- for not letting him take me," She looked down at her coffee ashamed. "That's not something you have to thank me for," Bose claimed. Mika blushed at his words, she was grateful that he always looked out for her.
"Can't get any more embarrassing than that," She tried to change the subject drinking her coffee. Bose took a seat across from her at the counter. "Wanna bet?" He cheekily asked. Mika looked at him confused. Bose learned in gesturing for her to do the same and when she did he whispered, "You kissed me".
Mika jolted, "I did not!" she denied.
"Right on the lips!" Bose went on amused at her reaction.
"Shit," She cursed herself.
She covered her face with her hands trying to cool down her cheeks, but she also couldn't help to laugh. "I am never getting near a margarita again!"
Bose raised his mug and shrugged still amused. It was great that they could joke about this and he loved seeing Mika so worked up. "In your words, 'don't you want me?'" He added, mocking her, just to let her know he wouldn't let her live this one down too. Mika groaned shaking her head.
She noticed that Bose was getting pleasure from making fun of her drunken state and decided to have some fun with it. Mika pushed her coffee to the side, fluttered her eyelashes, and seductively asked, "Well don't you?". Bose hadn't expected the response and nearly choked on his cereal. He peered at her and she was still gazing at him alluringly. Once again he was at a loss for words.
Of course, he wanted her, he always wanted her, but they were just friends. He gathered himself, and joined in on her game, "Wouldn't you like to know,". Mika gaped at him and playfully punched his bare arm. "Hey! You started it," He quipped laughing.
A small silence washed over them and two found themselves subtly blushing and making more eye contact than was necessary.
A knock at the door distributed their moment and Bose winked before getting to ger the door and Mika felt her heart flip.
