This is a movie role that Pedro did called Hermanas-sisters-a few years ago.

You and Steve work together and you've had this huge crush on him and desperately want to tell him, but are scared he won't feel the same way.

Then you end up surprised by him.

Mention of sex and a little light swearing. And mention of some drugs, but not a lot.

.......................

You're watching Steve out of the corner of your eye, as you set the latest donations out in the charity shop

God, he's so adorable! All you want to do is just run over, grab his cute face and kiss him!

But ugh, no way. He'd probably start acting all weird with you of you did that. And then, you'd have to find another job, which you definitely don't want to.

Steve is reading his dumb book, instead of actually working, but since he's cute, you can easily forgive him for that. (Even if it's not fair.)

You finish as some young woman walks into the shop. You smile and greet her. She gives you a half smile and an unenthusiastic hello.

That's when you see it; Steve is suddenly paying attention to the young woman and you feel your stomach drop. Seriously?

Steve watches the young woman with great interest as she browses through the stuff in the charity shop. You continue to watch Steve, feeling sicker and sicker.

You finally have to turn away before you really do something to embarrass yourself. Like burst into tears. Or pick up the old fashioned record player and chuck it at the woman's head.

......................

"What's with you?" You ignore Steve. He's not the only one who can ignore people.

To your shock, Steve grabs your arm, twirling you to face him. You stare at his brown eyes and you feel yourself getting emotional.

You tear yourself out if Steve's grasp and storm off to the back room, not expecting Steve to follow you.

But he does.

"Y/N, please tell me what's wrong?"

"Leave me alone, Steve!" You snap as your eyes well up with tears. Ugh. You're so pissed at yourself right now.

"I thought we were friends?" Steve gently touches your arm and that does it. The damn tears are spilling down your cheeks and dripping off your chin.

"Hey, you can tell me." Wanna bet?

"It's.... nothing. We better get back out front." You turn, marching back up front and silently cursing yourself out.

.......................

Luckily, Steve doesn't press anything for the rest of the time you're working. You're glad. The last thing you need to do is make a complete ass out of yourself in from of him.

"I'm having a barbecue this weekend, Saturday," Steve says as you're both getting ready to close up the charity shop.

"Cool." You flip the open sign to closed and then start towards the cash register.

Steve beats you to it. And then... he's... reaching out for your chin with his fingers. His touch is so gentle. You search his face and he smiles softly at you.

"I'd really like for you to come." Your breath catches in your throat and for half a second, you feel like you're drowning.

"I'll have to, uh, see, uh,if I'm not... already...busy."

"I hope you're not. Already busy, I mean." Steve drops his hand from your face and you feel a stab of disappointment.

"Yeah. Uh, well. Unless you need me, I'm heading out."

"I'm about done, too. Catch you later!" Steve smiles at you again and you try to smile back.

You turn, but instead of seeing what you want your mind to recall, which is Steve's beautiful smile, all you can see is Steve staring at the young woman who came in earlier.

.........................

You know you're not busy on Saturday evening a d you would like to go to Steve's barbecue, but...well.

You're not sure that's such a hot idea. Especially if you start drinking beer. If that happens, you'll probably start acting like an ass and then Steve won't want anything to do with you.

Ugh. You flop face down on your bed, squeezing your eyes shut. Before you know it, you're crying again and you're so pissed, all you want to do is pummel something.

You instantly stop your silly crying. You will not lie here and bawl all damn night long. That's not going to do a darn thing.

You shift around, getting under the blankets and reaching over to turn off the lamp on your nightstand before snuggling back under the blankets and trying to go to sleep.

.........................

The next day at work, Steve is in a lively mood. He's chattering away, a stupid smile on his face and that's when you realize that he'd probably been... smoking some shit.

You stand behind him and the odor is still faintly clinging to him. Seriously? You feel your temper rising, knowing that he was probably hanging out with that bitch who showed up here yesterday.

"Steve, can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah."

"Why the hell do you smoke that wacky shit? Seriously? It's gross. Not to mention, it's probably frying all of your good brain cells."

Steve just stares at you, like you just asked him to grow another head. He turns away and that just fuels your anger.

"I guess it's worth it," you say, extra loudly. "When you're trying to impress some hot bitch you barely know!"

That gets his damn attention! Steve whips around and glares at you. You just cross your arms over your chest and glare back.

"Why should you give a damn?" Steve snaps angrily. "Do you want me or something?'

Geez. Talk about a bullseye straight to my heart. That couldn't have hurt any less than if Steve had actually shot me through the heart with an actual arrow.

"No. I don't." You turn your attention back to sorting through the donations. Steve doesn't say another word to you for the rest of the day.

....................

Steve is waiting for you when you arrive at work the following day. You just pretend he's not even there.

"I apologize, Y/N," Steve says softly. "I was rude and nasty. I didn't mean to act that way."

"Fine. Apology accepted." You brush past him, but he refuses to be put off so easily.

"Y/N, please listen to me. I like you. A lot. The only reason I did what I did was because I wanted to feel better. But it didn't work. I only ended up feeling shittier. I really want to be with you."

You stare at him, completely rendered into silence and completely dumbstruck by Steve's sudden proclamation.

"Uh, what?" Steve suddenly moves, pressing his lips to yours and your entire body responses and you nearly turn into a puddle on the floor.

This doesn't seem real. You're afraid you'll wake up and discover it was all a dream. But it's not a dream.

You hungrily kiss Steve back. When he pulls back, you find that you're trembling like crazy and slide down the wall to the floor.

Steve drops down next to you and reaches for your hand. You discover he's trembling as well. You both chuckle a little shakily and smile.

"I can't believe you did that!" A giggle escapes from your lips. Steve laughs, too.

"Neither can I."

"So...you really... like me?" Steve nods.

"Definitely. So? Will you come to my barbecue on Saturday?" You smile.

"Yeah. I'll be there."

.....................

The barbecue is fun and some of Steve's friends are there and he starts introducing you to everyone as his... girlfriend. That's surreal, but cool.

You're just happy that you're the one who ended up with Steve and not somebody else.
