I knew it was just a part of the phrasing and not meant to be romantic, but the rest of my body didn’t seem to get the memo.
“I—I feel like I need to celebrate.” I started counting the money, still not believing it. Once I was done counting—six hundred and twenty-nine dollars to be exact—I looked up to see Nico holding out a shot to me. “What are you doing?”
“Celebrating.”
“Oh no, we can’t do that, we’re on the job.”
“We’re allowed two shift drinks.”
“But we’re still working.”
Nico looked around, “Looks like you finished everything already.”
“Well…” I trailed off realizing he was right and took the shot.
We clinked them together and then I downed mine, letting the whiskey-burn fill my mouth and throat. “Fuck.” I muttered.
“That sounds familiar.” Nico finally took his shot and I realized that he’d watched me take mine.
I let out a laugh and rolled my eyes. “You’re not the only one I’ve said that around when I’ve taken a shot.”
“Maybe.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Nico shrugged before leaning forward to put his glass on the bar just behind me. “We’re being good, remember?”
My head fell back, and I groaned.
“And right now, everything you do makes it harder and harder for me to resist the temptation.”
“I’m not doing anything.” I quipped but I knew exactly what he meant. “If anyone is, it’s you.”
“Oh? How so?” He retorted.
“By giving me a shot of whiskey. And standing this close. And looking at me.”
“Looking at you?”
“You know what I mean.”
“Maybe I don’t. Maybe I need you to elaborate.” He teased stepping towards me just a bit more.
“I’m not doing that.”
“Why? Because you’re thinking what I’m thinking but don’t want to admit it?”
“And what would that be?”
“That maybe we should have a repeat of that one night.”
I scoffed, not even trying to hold it back.
“What, you can't tell me that you aren’t thinking it too. I know you enjoyed it. You already practically admitted it.”
Suddenly, his cockiness was pouring out of him, making me laugh even harder and pull away, putting the wall back up. I wasn’t falling into this trap.
I held up my hands defensively, determined to be strong. I didn’t know what had come over me but suddenly, I blurted words I wasn’t even aware I’d been thinking. “Look I don't need any more pity sex from you.”
