Catching Feelings

I would

"G, table six is asking for you." Darla said as she came up to me.

I looked at her weirdly and said "But that's not my table."

She shrugged her shoulders and said "he keeps insisting on talking to you."

"What even." I whispered as I made my way over there.

There was a single guy sitting there with his head stuck on his phone.

"Excuse me sir." I said as I approached him. "Is there anything I can help you with?" I said politely. He raised his head and flashed a smile at me.

"You sound so professional." He laughed.

I felt my heart drop to the pit of my stomach.

"What are you doing here?" I spoke.

"I wanted to see if you were back in town." He said. I inhaled deeply and looked the other way, trying my best not to lose my temper.

I was not ready to see him, and much less in such way, in my work place! Unannounced!

"Myke, you need to go." I said and walked the other way.

"Hey! Hey! Gigi, cmon." He said as he walked after me. He cornered me by the kitchen hall and placed his hands on my waist.

"Can we just talk? Please?" He said. "I'm begging you to have just one conversation."

"I'm working Myke. This is inappropriate!" I said as I pushed his hands off me. "And you and I have nothing to talk about."

"Babe, Just- fine... I'll leave. Only if you promise me I'll get to see you again."

"No!" I shook my head as I widened my eyes. "Don't you understand that I don't want to talk to you? You cheated." I whisper-yelled. "It's over, I want nothing to do with you Myke."

"I'm not leaving then." He said.

I let out a deep breath and looked the other way. "So not only you cheat on me, now you want to get me fired?"

"Then stop ignoring me. Stop acting as if I don't exist, as if nothing has ever happened between us!"

"Fine." I said. "We'll talk. But not now."

He relaxed his face and said "I'll text you later, okay?" I nodded and pushed a strand of hair that had fallen off my ponytail back.

"You look... stunning by the way."

I looked down at the ground and stayed silent as I waited for him to leave.

He let out a deep breath and said "I still love you Gigi."

"Get out..." I softly said as I shook my head.

He nodded and walked away.

I headed towards the bathroom and locked myself inside one of the stalls. I let out a deep breath and fanned my eyes so I wouldn't start crying.

I got my phone out and texted the person
