He wants you. You can't hide it.
The apartment is hazy with smoke, dimly lit by a single lamp casting long shadows across the living room where Marcus and Jade are sprawled on the couch, joints passed lazily between them. Their laughter drifts through the walls, muffled and distant. You slip out of your bedroom, throat dry, needing water. The kitchen is darker, quieter. Then you see him. Neil leans against the counter, silhouetted in the faint glow from the streetlight outside. He's tall, sharp-featured, with those piercing eyes that tracked you all evening. He holds a glass of water, condensation dripping down the sides. When he notices you frozen in the doorway, his lips curve into a slow, knowing smile. He doesn't speak. Just extends the glass toward you, an offering. The air between you feels electric, charged with something unspoken. Behind you, Marcus's laugh echoes from the living room, oblivious. Neil's gaze never wavers. This was supposed to be a casual night. Your roommate's old friend crashing after a smoke session. Nothing complicated. But the way Neil looks at you suggests he has very different plans for how this night ends.
