Bleed out /// Wilbur x reader (fem)

chapter 9 // big job offer

you wake up the next morning to see Wilbur already awake "good morning will, how long have you been awake" you say he looks over at you "around 20 minutes, its-" Wilbur gets cut off by the sound of your phone ringing, you pick up your phone and answer "hello" you say scared "hi is this y/n" the person says professionally "yeah this is y/n" you say anxiously wanting to know who's calling "hello y/n I was calling about the job you applied for at coffee house cafe, and we would like to offer you a job" the person says joyfully as you give Wilbur an excited look, "yes that would be great when do I start" you say with happiness "is next Thursday okay for you?" they say "yes that's great, thank you" you say your happiness increasing "great it was nice talking with you, I look forward to see you next Thursday" they say happily "yeah thank you, bye" you say as the phone call ends.

"I just got offered a job at the cafe around the corner" you say jumping out of bed with excitement, Wilbur gets up hugging you "that's great, y/n" you both jump up and down with excitement.

you both get ready to go and get something to eat, and you decide on a little breakfast place about a 20 minute walk away from your house, you go there and as you're waiting you both decide to go shopping after. you planned to spend the day together. You and Wilbur order and get your food within 10 minutes.

After you ate and had a drink, You get an Uber because you had left your car and couldn't be bothered to go and get it. While you're waiting for your Uber to arrive you hear Wilbur mumble "I'm proud of you" you look over "what was that?" "I said im proud of you I didn't think you would hear me" he said his cheeks glowing a crimson red "thank you will" you say as he smiles at you.

As your Uber arrives you decide to download the i am sober app to track your progress of how long you've been clean of self harm, you set the app up and locked your phone and placed it in your pocket. You felt like you were going to get clean this time you were really optimistic about it.

As you pull up to the shopping mall you see all the people that were going in, you control your breathing and head to the entrance, You find a shop that you want to go in and you look for clothes you want.

The cafe you are employed at was pretty casual they didn't have a work uniform so you just looked around for casual clothes like jeans and shirts, you spent 2 hour looking for clothes and asking Wilbur's opinion on stuff, he helped you pick out some super cute clothes.

After you're finished you asked Wilbur if he's finished as he was looking for stuff too, he says that he's done and you head to the self checkout, you both pay for your clothes and head out the shop.

As your walking out the exit, you see your ex. He hadn't noticed you yet and you weren't going to give him the chance to, you quickly grab Wilbur's arm and speed walk away looking the other direction, hiding your face so your ex didn't recognise you.

"Y/n what's going on" Wilbur said confused "my ex was back there" you say panicking "it's okay, he didn't see you did he y/n" he says comforting you "no I didn't give him chance to" you say "good, sit down here y/n" he said in a soothing voice "thank you will".

As you gather your thoughts and emotions you get up and tell Wilbur you're okay and carry on with your day. You spent the rest of the day in clothing shops and looking for makeup you needed.

You pointed out to Wilbur that you wanted a new pair of earrings and asked him to keep and eye out for any jewellery shops he sees.

About 18 minutes later we come across a huge, posh looking jewellery shop so we go inside " y/n these earrings are gorgeous" he pointed out, i go over to him to see what he was looking at, he was right they were gorgeous, they were gold and dangling earrings with a beautiful iridescent diamond at the end, I fell in love with them instantly.

I ask one of the workers to get them out for me so I could see them up close, "do you like them will" you say asking him opinion "yeah I do they'll look great on you" he says with a big smile "your boyfriend has great taste" the worker pointed out "oh no he's not my boyfriend he's my best friend" i say butterflies raising in my stomach at the word boyfriend "oh sorry" the worker said "oh don't worry it's okay" i say smiling at the woman

"That'll be £120" the worker says "okay can I pay card please" I say as I tap my card on the machine. As Wilbur and I walk out the shop I notice Wilbur smiling to himself I wonder what he was smiling at but decide not to bring it up.

As I pull my phone out I realise what time it is, it was getting pretty late the shops would be closing soon so I tell Wilbur and we decide to book an Uber to take us home he gets dropped off at my house and then walks back to his house.

As i get in my house and say my goodbyes to Wilbur, i started to put my shopping away and think about what happened earlier in the jewellery shop, I was so confused I don't have feelings for him but why did I get butterflies about the thought of him being my boyfriend.
