Foreigner

7

You scrunched your eyes together and moved closer to the warm sensation next to you

You peered your eyes open slowly, vision blurred for a few seconds

Once your vision came into focus you started to make sense of your surroundings

Noticing your arm wrapped around another arm you glanced up to see Tae smiling warmly back at you

"Hello sleepyhead" he giggled cutely at your tired, sleepy expression

Not yet having found the energy to talk, all you could do was mumble back

"I'll let you wake up" he stated, somehow understanding your mumble as if it was code for 'give me a minute'

He looked back to the TV that was now playing a whole other film to the one you fell asleep watching

"Sorry..." you whispered loudly enough for him to hear while removing your arm from his, still adjusting to your new awake state

"I tend to hug something when I sleep, you were obviously closer than a pillow" you explained to him whilst letting out a shy giggle, hoping you hadn't made him feel uncomfortable

He gazed from your arm to your face

"Don't worry about it, i'm the same" Tae reassured you, a wave of relief washing over you, you didn't want to already ruin a friendship

You stared back at the TV, paying attention to the new film briefly

"Umm how long was I asleep?" you questioned, pointing at the new film

"Probably about 45 minutes" he smiled back

"Whoops"

You couldn't help but laugh

You both stopped your brief laughter and sat there in comfortable silence whilst another minute ticked past

"It's late, I should probably get going" Tae broke the silence between you both

You checked the time and nodded in response, it was quite late

Tae went to stand up with his car keys in his hand when a sudden thought sprung into your head

You grabbed his wrist instinctively before stating

"You can't drive, you've had too much to drink"

Tae was only meant to have one glass but you both ended up drinking more than that and although you were both only a bit giggly he had still had to much for you to just let him drive off

"It's okay, i'll just take th..."

It was as if a realisation had hit him as his expression changed

"Buses don't run this late around here and the only taxi service is finished for the night..."

"Shit" he frustratedly whispered out

"Umm" you tried thinking of a solution when it suddenly hit you

"Just spend the night here and drive back in the morning once it's worn off"

You shut up straight after, mentally facepalming yourself

Why did I say that?!

You only met him tonight, he probably doesn't want to spend the night in a strangers house

"Only if you're okay with that?" he finally spoke up

Huh?

He doesn't mind the idea?
