Here is my short drabble for @the-ce-horniest-book-club and the Spring Fling event. My afternoon was less than ideal at work… but here’s hoping flirty Colin and his best friend can help me out of that funk.
Today’s prompt is flirtatious and this drabble is just under 500 words.
Title: Once Upon A Pick Up Line
Pairing:Colin Shea x female reader
Rating:PG-13
Warnings:suggestive

There was nothing better after a shitty day at work than hanging out with Colin Shea. He was your best friend and he could turn any bad day into a good one.
The two of you were a beer and a half in when a character on the show you were watching said, “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
You booed and threw the crumpled fast food wrapper at the TV. “That was awful,” you groaned.
“You think you could come up with something better?” he countered.
“Absolutely,” you said confidently. “Even if I was half asleep or drunk.”
Colin paused the TV and said, “Prove it. Pick up line contest now. You go first.”
“Fine,” you replied. You took a sip of your beer as you thought and then cleared your throat. You turned to him and gave him your best flirty eyes before saying, “Hey there, hot stuff, come here often?”
“Weak! Colin scoffed.
You rolled your eyes and waited for him to take his turn.
He turned his head towards you and gave you a cocky smile. “I’d be more than happy to show you a good time, if you’re looking for one.”
“Gross,” you pretended to cringe. “I feel like I need a shower.”
“Keep sweet-talking and this could go a whole new direction,” Colin teased, but in a different tone than his previous line.
You forced yourself to take a sip of your beer as your mind whirled. You and Colin had always had a platonic relationship. Sure he was hot, but you’d never looked at him like that. Or, at least, had never done so consciously.
Stealing a glance at him now, though, you suddenly saw things you hadn’t noticed before. His strong jaw, the perfect shape of his lips.
“Enjoying the view?” he asked, one of his eyebrows raising.
“Just admiring the way that blue shirt makes your eyes bluer,” you replied, lamely.
“Oh come on, you can do better than that,” Colin teased.
“Why don’t you put those lips to better use and kiss me?”
Your words caught both of you by surprise.
Then you were kissing.
He cradled your head in his hands as his tongue slipped between your lips.
When you parted, you pressed your forehead against his as you tried to catch your breath.
“I’ve wanted to do that for a long time,” he confessed.
“You say that like you kissed me,” you said with a laugh. “Obviously, I kissed you first.”
“Don’t make me laugh,” Colin scoffed. “I definitely kiss-”
“Oh shut up,” you told him before you kissed him again.
I’m late! This is for the last day of the HBC Spring Fling and we’re coming back to James Conrad - thanks to the HBC and @the-th-horniest-book-club for hosting!
I was a bit inspired by a song you know of the same title
Follow up to Running Late - not required reading but it’s the Verse I see it in
The impersonator clapped as James dipped you, kissing you breathless. “Alrighty you two lovebirds. Go get a room. And thank you, thank you very much.” James righted you, grabbing your hand and pulling you down the aisle.
“Wait!” You stumbled behind him, too busy admiring his ass in his tight jeans to care about the white high heels he had bought just for this occasion. You kicked off both shoes, grabbing them up before taking his hand again. James pulled you along, more gently this time, flinging the chapel doors open and leading you to the car.
“Where do we go next?” he asked as he opened your door. He turned back to you and kissed you again; you giggled, throwing your arms around his neck.
Your head was pounding; you groaned and burrowed further into the covers. Wait…You slowly opened your eyes, groaning again as the bright sunlight streamed in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. You closed your eyes for a moment and took stock of yourself. I’m in a bed, my clothes… You ran your hands over yourself, noting panties and some kind of shirt. Buttons scraped against your fingers and the bed shifted. Your eyes flew open and a strangled yell escaped your lips. A body jumped out of the bed, stark naked. You wanted to admire the bare ass in front of you better but he turned to face you. “JAMES?!”
“Y/n?” He ran a hand over his face, the metal ring cool against his… “Did we?”
“Have sex?”
“Get married?!” He shoved the ring out in front of him as you looked down at your left hand. The rose-gold cushion cut stone gleamed in the radiant sunlight of Vegas.

For Day 3 of @the-ss-horniest-book-club ‘s Spring Fling, Nick Fowler x Female Reader for Flirtation. This went in a darker, sort of femme fatale or mafia couple vibe, oops! I love how it came out and think a story like this, where Nick meets his match in a partner, could be really interesting.
