Oh... if you only knew.

A psychology lesson, you write notes on your own, using a textbook from the library, because the professor again reduced the topic of the lesson to his own problems and thoughts. Josh sat to your right, scribbling something in his notebook and occasionally glancing at you.

You weren't his friend, you weren't in his group of friends, you were just... classmates? you thought. Every time the professor assigned pair work, he would grab you as his partner to work with. You two mostly worked in your rented apartment near the college, in your room, and Josh covered all the expenses for the project. You didn't complain because you didn't have much money.

After another project at your place, the two of you said goodbye, you cleaned up the room before bed, took a shower, opened your dresser and realized that one set of your favorite lace underwear was missing.

You were sure that you had washed it recently and put it in the dresser. It is unlikely that your flatmate took your underwear, usually she only lends outerwear, not underwear... You briefly thought, "Maybe it's Josh?" You shook your head. Josh isn't a pervert... right?

The next day at college you were standing outside the Biology room waiting for the always late professor to come with the keys and open it. You squealed quietly when you felt someone's hand grab your waist, pulling you closer, when you turned to face the guy, it was immediately clear who it was, just by the legendary sly smile.

"Hey hey sexy." Josh chuckled, still not letting go of your waist, his gaze slightly tense but with a smile on his lips.

You were slightly surprised by Josh's appearance here, because he was supposed to have a photography lesson in the third building of the college, and the two of you were currently in the first.

You nodded silently to him, remembering yesterday's disappearance of underwear from the dresser. You were knocked out of your thoughts by Josh's voice addressing you

"Listen, I've seen you hanging out with Mike, Sam and Chris yesterday at lunch before you and I went to your place... it seems like Mike likes you more than the others do." Josh chuckled humorlessly. his eyes did not sparkle with mischief and cunning as usual, he was tense, hiding it behind the shadow of a joke "So... ahem..." his grip on your waist tightened "maybe to a cafe today? what do you say?" He waited for your answer, biting his bottom lip slightly. You could have sworn he was staring at your lips.
