that's no mistake

Olivia made a noise of content as she woke up beside a stranger - she was sure he told her his name was Michael, but she couldn't be too certain. Shifting slightly, Olivia sat up, glancing to the figure beside her, her heart almost stopping in her chest when she saw how damn gorgeous he was. Olivia couldn't remember much from the night before, but her heart was telling her it was a good night. Turning to the clock, Olivia groaned as she saw she was due in work in less than twenty minutes, biting her lip and deciding that he probably wouldn't miss her.

Luke woke up as the sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the blinds, his arm still wrapped around a beauty he'd brought home the night before. Blinking in surprise, Luke toyed with his lower lip as he rested on his elbow, completely in awe of her beauty. Grinning, Luke ran his fingers through her hair, almost certain that she'd told him her name was Ava. Seeing her stir though, Luke remained silent, just wanting to take her in, make the most of her presence beside him. "Good morning." He murmured.

Michael felt Olivia shifting in the bed and, as he stirred, his arms tightened gently around her as he drew her close to himself. “Good morning,” he murmured quietly, grinning to himself as he blinked his eyes open to see the beauty he’d fallen asleep next to, the beauty who’d captured his attention the night before - a beauty whose name was Olivia, he was pretty sure. Taking her in, he couldn’t help but to grin to himself, amazed by her in the morning light. “Can I just say you look absolutely stunning in the morning?” And, he didn’t have any real intention of just forgetting this woman or to lose her already when she was so perfect, in his eyes.

Ava gave a quiet noise when she felt fingers through her hair, the sunlight in the room causing her to stir. Shifting, she blinked her eyes open. “Good morning,” she murmured quietly in return to the man - she was pretty sure his name was Luke, and he’d caught her attention so easily the night before. She’d shifted closer before blinking in realization and shifted to sit up, reaching for her phone. “Shit, what time is -” She frowned when she saw the time, a slight panic settling into her chest as she quickly climbed off the bed. “Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.” Chewing on her lip, she moved to gather her clothes to quickly to get dressed.

Olivia laughed as Michael pulled her back to him as he woke, biting her lip, not wanting to admit that being in his arms felt like Heaven. "Good morning." She greeted with a happy sigh, before she pulled her thoughts together and shifted once more, biting her lip. Still, hearing his compliment, she bit her lip and shook her head. "You should of seen yourself five minutes ago Michael, you were a vision." She smiled, truly meaning it. He was gorgeous, and she wondered if he knew. Running her hands through her hair to smooth out her appearance, Olivia grabbed her clothes from the night before, not wanting to leave Michael but knowing she had to work, having worked hard to get to this point. As memories from the night before flooded back, Olivia bit her lip. "Last night was incredible."

Luke furrowed his eyebrows in amusement as he watched Ava. "What's the rush?" He groaned, not wanting her to leave so soon, not wanting her to leave at all. Reaching to grab her hips, Luke pulled Ava back gently, just wanting her by his side. Luke thought back to the night before, remembering how easily Ava had caught his attention, how beautiful she was in the strobe lights, how the way she danced caused Luke to stop and stare and swear to himself he would make her his. Still, Luke pouted. "It's only early." He bit his lip, not wanting her to go, not intending to let her go. "C'mon, surely you can spare five minutes?" And although Luke didn't know where Ava was heading, he selfishly wanted her to put it all on hold just to spend a little extra time with him, but Luke didn't regret it, not at all.

Michael pouted slightly when he felt her shifting. “You don’t have to go, you know,” he mentioned as he watched her, just wanting to hold her, and he shifted to the edge of the bed when she’d grabbed her clothes, he reached for her wrist gently, grinning as he tugged her back again. “You can stick around for as long as you want. And, if last night was incredible, imagine how great cuddling would be.” He hadn’t really expected to want her presence this much, but he’d been so easily entranced by her the night before that all he wanted was to get to know her better, see if something more meaningful than a one night stand could form between them.

Ava gave a noise of surprise with the feeling, but she laughed, chewing on her lip as she tried not to enjoy his touch as much as she did, so badly just wanting to stay on the bed with him. “Work. Work is the rush,” she told him with amusement, shifting a bit to face him, cupping his face gently. “And as gorgeous as you are, as amazing as last night was, and as much as I want to stay in this bed with you, I really, really need this job, so I can’t be late. I’ve been working too hard and I can’t screw it up now.” Shifting, she wiggled out of his hold to get back to getting dressed quickly, desperately needing to get to work.

Olivia smiled, biting her lip. She wanted nothing more than to stay with Michael, relish in the feeling of his arms around her, but she just couldn’t. Feeling Michael gently tug her back, Olivia laughed. “I have to work,” she pouted slightly, running a hand through her hair to straighten herself out. “Although cuddling sounds so tempting,” she hummed. “My boss wouldn’t be happy with me skipping.” She teased, although the thought of spending more time with Michael, getting to know him, seeing if there was a real connection between them sounded so heavenly to her. “I’m sorry.”

Luke hummed happily, pressing a kiss to Ava’s shoulder. “C’mon, baby.” He whined softly, burying his face into her neck. “Work is boring, can’t you just stay with me for a little while longer?” He murmured, but still, he grinned as she called him gorgeous, Luke hummed happily. “Gorgeous? Have you seen yourself?” He raised his eyebrows, being playful, his curiosity getting the better of her. “You’re beautiful.” He pouted though, as she pulled away, just wanting to drag her back once more. “C’mon, Ava...”

Michael pouted slightly as he examined her. “What's so important about work?” he asked in playful complaint, “I'm sure you could take a sick day.” He grinned slightly, holding her closer gently as he examined her. “Spend the day with me? We can do whatever you want?” Arching a brow, he watched her, hoping that he could think of some way to entice her to stay because he worried that, if she left, he'd never get to see her again, and he didn't want that. Something about her genuinely, truly affected him and he didn't want to lose that feeling.

Ava laughed as she focused on getting dressed, trying to ensure she looked as presentable as possible. “Work is a necessity,” she pointed out. “Besides, this is my dream and, every day I show up, I'm one step closer to achieving it.” She chewed on her lip, not used to really talking about her dream to those outside her family and Olivia, but she cleared her throat. “I can leave my number? In case you ever want to talk or, I don't know explore this or something?”

Olivia laughed with Michael's complaint, but when he held her closer, Olivia groaned. "You're making this so difficult." She breathed, but she remembered how hard she worked for her job, how difficult it was to get to the position she was in now, how many damn shoes she had to shine to climb up the ladder. "I wish I could," she spoke gently. "But I can't." She smiled sympathetically, because she was feeling the same turmoil he was. "This job is my dream, I can't let it go." She told him, standing to get dressed. "How about I leave my number though?" She offered with a smile, biting her lip as she studied him, straightening out her clothes and hair.

Luke studied Ava for a long moment with her words. He'd be lying if he said he didn't understand, because he did. He and the guys had to fight tooth and nail to make it to where they were today. And although Luke had his selfish reasons for wanting to keep Ava near him, he ndoded, running a hand through his hair. Although Ava was his new dream, Luke couldn't hold her back from hers. He didn't want her to resent him in anyway. Smiling with the thought, Luke grabbed his clothes and got changed, wrapping his arms around Ava from behind, the gesture feeling so completely second nature to him. "That sounds good." He kissed behind her ear gently.

Michael offered an amused look as he listened to Olivia, admittedly enjoying the knowledge that he was making it harder for her to leave, but he chewed on his lip as she stood, listening to her words, and he understood. He couldn’t blame her for chasing a dream that she so desperately wanted, because he’d been there - but she was also becoming a new dream of his, he realized. “Alright,” he said quietly, offering a small nod, “I can accept that.” From where he was, he smiled as he watched her, taking her in. “Yeah, do that. I’ll call you the first chance I get.” Moving to stand to his feet, he rested his hands on her hips, leaning to brush his lips against hers. “And I hope to see you again soon.”

Ava breathed out a quiet noise of surprise, but she found herself easily, naturally, settling into his arms, relaxing in his hold in a way she wasn’t quite familiar with, but she smiled slightly and nodded. “Okay,” she murmured quietly, angling her head a bit so that she could peer up at him. “Just don’t lose it, okay?” She shifted, pressing a kiss to his cheek before she pulled back and finished getting ready, moving to grab a pen and paper to write down her number, holding it out to him.

Olivia giggled at Michael's amused look, fixing her hair to ensure that she looked presentable and that she just hadn't had the most incredible night of sex she'd ever had. Straightening out her shirt, Olivia listened to Michael with a small smile, his voice already bringing her comfort that she'd never known before, her heart swelling with the thought. "You better." Olivia teased with Michael's promise, and as she felt his large hands against her hips, Olivia wrapped her arms around Michael's neck, pressing a kiss to his lips. "Of course you will," she murmured, playfully tugging at his lower lip. "I think I might of found a new dream."

Luke nuzzled into Ava's neck as he felt her settle into his embrace, and he couldn't help but adore just how naturally they fit together - he wasn't familiar with this kind of feeling, but he was happy that Ava was the one to give it to him; because there was something about her that was just so incredible. Pressing a kiss to the side of her neck, Luke smiled as he pulled away for Ava to peer up at him. "I wouldn't let a girl like you go," Luke promised. "I absolutely swear I won't lose it." And as she moved away from his embrace, Luke couldn't help but to pout, reaching out for her like a child. But as she approached him again, Luke accepted the paper, grabbing his phone from the night stand to key in her number instantly, ensuring that he'd always have it. "See? I can't lose it now." He winked, showing her the screen.

Michael grinned slightly when he felt Olivia kissing him, and he wasted no time in returning her kiss, in tugging her close, even tugging her onto his lap. While he understood she needed to leave, he wanted to enjoy every moment of this that he could before she did, wishing that they could spend the whole day like this but aware that they couldn’t; he wouldn’t do that to Olivia when she seemed to be chasing her dream so intently. “I will,” he promised, nipping at her lips with a playful grin, rubbing her hips gently before pulling back to eye her for a moment, taking her in, memorizing every detail that he could about her, never wanting to forget a single thing about her. “Oh, yeah? What’s that new dream, hm?” He smirked, shifting so that he could kiss the skin of her neck, nipping at it playfully.

Ava offered an amused look with Luke’s words, and it surprised her that he was being so sweet. She’d expected him to just send her away when the sun rose, for it to just be a single night of fun for the both of them, but he seemed to actually want her around more. Of course, she knew to be wary, that this could just be an act and that he could just delete her number the moment she left, but for now, she figured she could be… Happy, hopeful, that she could enjoy this. “Good,” she murmured as she watched him, shifting to slide her arms around his neck, “But, now I’ve really gotta go, so I’ll talk to you later?” Unless later never came, but she forced that thought away, trying to stay hopeful.
