“I really don’t know why I agreed to this. I hate being set up.” Getting out of the car you joined the masses walking to the stadium.
Monica replied, “One, I’m your best friend. Two, you love me. Three, you get to see the Cubs play for free and fourth, and this is the most important reason- you need to get some. I mean seriously Y/N…”
“Oh my God, Monica! You are such a pervert!” Both of you laughed as you made your way into made your way into Wrigley Stadium.
After the game, Monica’s fiance, Connor, walked out of the gate with a man that was very tall and blond. “Whoa. He is..”
Monica slide her eyes to you and smirked, “I thought you might like him.”
“Peter, Y/N. Y/N, Peter.” Connor said before grabbed Monica and kissed her and kissed her…. And now you were uncomfortable.
Peter put his hand out to shake yours, you accepted. He had huge hands, it engulfed yours completely.
Looking over at Monica and Connor you blushed. When you looked at Peter he was doing the same. “Hey Monica. A little decorum, hmm?”
”Sorry guys. Le’s go get a drink.” She took Connor’s hand. “Oh, Y/N. You’ll have to ride with Peter. Connor’s stuff takes up a lot of room, so…” Monica grinned and winked at you.
“I don’t think Peter wan-” you started.
“No. It’s fine. Really. I don’t mind.” He interrupted, giving you a shy smile.
“It’s settled then.” Monica waved.
“I think we were ditched.” Peter took a sip of his beer.
Checking your phone for a return text, “Yeah. Looks like. Sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry, I’m not.” Peter said. He took another swig of his beer not taking his eyes off of you.
“Okay. I’m not sorry. But I am hungry.” You cocked any eyebrow at Peter.
“Yeah me too. Always am.” He laughed. “And it just so happens I know a place that makes a mean burger and fires.”
“Stop! Stop!” You held your hands up, laughing so hard tears were steaming down your face.
Peter was laughing too. His eyes sparkling. “I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. This has been great. Thank you.”
“Me either, Peter. Thank you. I’ve such a great time tonight ” You grinned. “And you’re right, that was the best burger.”
Peter took a deep breath, “I’d really like to see you again, Y/N. Soon.”
You could feel your cheeks pink. “I’d like that. A lot.” You sat and talked for a few more minutes. You glanced at your watch. “I better call a cab, it’s getting late. I’m know you have to be tired.”
“No cab. Please allow me to take you home. Then I’ll know you got there safe.” It seemed like there was no way of changing his mind.
All you could do was smile and nod. When you got to your place, Peter got out and opened your door. He even walked you to your door.
“Would you mind if I kissed you?” Peter asked and took your hand.
You looked up at him. “No. Not at all.”
Peter leaned down, you stood on tiptoe. The kiss he gave you was tender, soft and sweet. It made your whole body tingle.
He rested his forehead against yours. “Coffee tomorrow morning? Is 7am too early? ”
“Coffee would be great, Peter. 7 is fine.” He released your hand and watched as you went inside.
There was no way you would sleep tonight.
