The Suit on you
“There is nothing better than a man in suit and tie.” You said after having been shamelessly staring at Lay. You couldn't blame it on the alcohol since you were only drinking alcohol spiked lemonade
“Well, thanks”. Lay said
You shrugged your shoulders “Your welcome”
“Do you just like the suit or me in the suit?” Lay asked leaning closer to you than was necessary. He would just excuse it as trying ot be heard over the music. You picked up your drink swirling the straw pretending to think. “It's the suit’” you said then took a drink to contain your smile as you saw Lay deflate a bit. “On you” you finished your sentence hiding your smirk behind another sip.
Lay smiled not bothered by having fallen for your trick “I thank you for the compliment”
“Don’t flatter yourself too much Lay. You leaned back into your seat staring down at the glass in your hand. You were feeling hot and irritated suddenly. Maybe it was the alcohol spiked lemonade. After all, you had three of them so far.
“I don't have to when you flatter me so well,” He was leaning in unnecessarily again just so there was no room between you on the seat.
You rolled your eyes. “ I just have a thing for men in suits… and glasses,” you added on before looking at his face. He already looked insanely attractive in the suit. How would it be if he were wearing glasses? You let yourself imagine. “Irresistible,” you said aloud
Lay smirked knowing exactly what you were imagining.
“Damn!” You thought. You really hadn’t meant to say that aloud. You definitely had too much to drink. Your brain-to-mouth filter has failed you a second time in only five minutes. Lay was looking a little too pleased with himself which didn't help your mood feel better.
“ I’m glad I can be a fantasy for you,” Lay said and you got just where he was going
“Let’s not,” you said, You and Lay always going back and forth. Teasing and arguing laced with innuendo. In the end, neither of you ever did anything beyond that. You were feeling tired of it at the moment. Maybe you should have just gone out on the dance floor instead of sitting here. Where the hell was your friend that invited you to this freaking event anyway? You looked around finally spotting Tao jamming to the music with some guys you didn’t know.
Lay was taken aback by your irritation for a moment. Again you did this all the time with each other. Bickering, teasing, and flirting. That's was your whole relationship dynamic. So he just shrugged it off thinking you just upset you complimented him aloud.
“Why not? I want to hear more about you finding me irresistible.
You only glared at him in response
He pouted, “ Fine I will let it go. Only to please you.”
“Thank you,”
You sat next to each other in silence. Relative silence since there was a party going on around you. The silence between the two of you lasted for only one song before Lay spoke again
“You know I wore this suit tonight for you"
“For me?” You couldn't help the skeptical tone of your voice. Thinking Lay was going back to teasing you.
Lay nodded. "You talked before about how attractive you find a man in a suit. So I wore a suit because I wanted you to be impressed when you saw me"
You stared at him. His eyes didn't have that teasing glint in them. He was being sincere. You decided to reward his sincerity with some of your own.
“The tie can be the best part of the suit. You looked right at his tie
"The tie?"
"The colors, the patterns, and the materials," You reached out to run a finger over Lay's tie. “Feels nice” You got lost in your thoughts continuing to play with Lay’s tie.
Lay took a deep breath, "Uh"… he hesitated before finishing “Would you be interested in seeing my tie collection?”
He asked half as a joke and the other half because he had a feeling from the way your demeanor changed as you played with his tie. Your "Yes" was a bit of a surprise but he was happy.
He stood up holding out his hand to you "Let’s go then, honey,”
Your heart started to beat faster when you let him take your hand in his. You barely managed to grab for your jacket and purse as Lay had already turned to leave the party pulling you along quickly with him.
