Close |Algee Smith Imagine|

                                    

                                          

 "Alright!", the director called out, "for this scene, I'm going to need you and Alger to be closer." 
                          
"What's wrong with us now?", you asked, but Algee only rolled his eyes and pulled you by the waist closer. "What's wrong, ma. Nervous?".
                          
He bit he lip and smirked as you focused everywhere except at him. "Nah I'm not nervous."
                          
"Look at me then", he demanded gently. Your eyes finally looked into his and you subconsciously leaned forward. He followed your lead, moving in closer and closer until—
                          
"Alright, we got it!",the director shouted.
                          
You snapped out of your daze and shot up, heading to the dressing rooms. You changed back into your casual clothes, more than ready to leave.  Being around Algee made you feel some type of way and what happened only a few minutes ago proved just that.
                          
"Did I make you uncomfortable?", a voice asked. You jumped and held your heart, but calmed down once you saw the culprit.
                          
"Damn it, Algee!", you breathed, "don't scare me like that".
                          
"Sorry ma", he laughed, his eyes focused intensely on you.
                          
You've known Algee since you started in this industry. And he's also been flirting with you since you've been in this industry.
                          
"Ugh, stop doing that", you groaned.
                          
"Doing what?", he asked with an innocent smile. You groaned and brushed past him to the front of the building, him following closely behind.
                          
"What you waiting for?".
                          
"My friend to come get me". 
                          
"Why wait when I can drive you home?", he suggested sincerely.
                          
"I'm cool", you smiled.
                          
"Come on, we can even stop for something to eat", he insisted, "my treat."
                          
"What am I gonna say? No?", you laughed.
                          
"You watched the New Edition story?", he asked with a laugh.
                          
"Of course", you answered, "and plus, I never turn down free food".
                          
"After you, then", he said as you both headed to his car and got in.
                          
"Where do you usually eat ?", you asked.
                          
"Depends on my mood", he answered.
                          
"What you in the mood for?", you asked. You had a funny feeling he was tempted to say you but stopped himself.
                          
"How about Chick Fil A?", he asked and you nodded. "Sounds good".
                          
While driving, he kept glancing at you from time to time. You just kept staring at the window. He finally spoke.
                          
"You know your beautiful, right?". 
                          
You nervously laughed and thanked him. 
                          
"No problem ma", he smirked mischievously.
                          
You can't even lie and say he wasn't too bad looking himself. The way he bit his lip, the way his eyes could look into your soul, and the way his hands gripped the steering wheel—
                          
"Wow, if I knew you felt that way I would've asked you out sooner", he winked and you gasped.
                          
"Did I ju--", you started.
                          
"You should learn to control your thoughts, ma".

"Damn, for real?", you erupted with laughter while Algee chuckled to himself.
                          
"Keith bust his ass tryna be extra on the set", he said still laughing.
                          
It was quiet for a few moments until he asked, "so...do you have a boyfriend".
                          
The sprite you drank caught in your throat and you coughed, patting your chest until the fit subsided.
                          
"Um no... ", you answered after you calmed down.
                          
"Why?", he asked, his eyes sparkling with a mix of curiosity and hopefulness.
                          
"It's kinda a long story", you rubbed your neck awkwardly.
                          
"I got time", he said, not bothering to look down at his gold watch.
                          
"My boyfriend at the time cheated on me because he got big and famous and forgot all about me", you answered, tearing up at the thought again. 
                          
Algee wrapped his arm around you, his body feeling warm as it pressed against your own. A heat rose down below, but you shook it off.
                          
"Why have you been flirting with me so long", you asked, pulling back just enough so your faces were mere inches apart.
                          
"Why you think?", he whispered, eyes locked on yours.
                          
"I want you". 
                          
And he pressed his lips against yours passionately. You were surprised at first, but once you got over the initial shock, you kissed him back.
                          
Who knew this would happen...
