Staring (Nj Boys)

40

I watched Vic and Alejandro walk into the restaurant paying attention to them and only them. I watched their every move looking at the little details how they were walking, what colors they were wearing, etc. i put the palm of my hand resting on my cheek staring at them until Vic looked at me. We made eye contact for a few seconds. I looked away as quickly as I could.

But it was too late. She already saw me. Oh god. I thought over and over again in my head. One of the nice waitresses walked them over to a seat and oh fucking lovely they were right next to us. I can't do this today.

I took a deep breathe and put my fist in a ball. Clenching my fingernails into my palm. My leg began to shake and I believe that was out of a mix of anger and anxiety. Charli looked at me and then looked over at them and rolled her eyes. "Don't let them get to you." She said to me focusing my eyes on her yeah she is right but still. I can't.

"Uh yeah. I'm not worried about it." I added looking around trying not to even give them the slightest amount of attention. Even though I was lying I liked to think I wasn't worried about what might happen. My phone began to buzz signaling that I had gotten a text. Weird. I grabbed it and the name had read "Alejandro" i took a deep breathe and opened my phone to see the message.

Alejandro: hey.

I sat there trying to think if I should respond. Should I? Wouldn't that be stupid of me? I don't know.... I decided to respond anyway. I'm so fucking stupid sometimes.

Y/n: uhhh hi?
Alejandro: I'm glad that I got to see you here. I was hoping maybe we could talk before you guys leave.
Y/n: i actually have something to do today.

I know I am lying and that is wrong but I don't wanna see him.

Alejandro: oh okay that's fine then i guess.

I read the message and just turned my phone off giving my attention back to my sisters.
