Talking Body 5 Year Reboot

Chapter One

Chapter One

The soft music at the restaurant was playing while patrons waited on food and drink. One patron was on her second drink of cherry moon while waiting for her boyfriend who was two hours late. She made up her mind to get up and leave when she finished. Good thing she was sending him the bill. For the past two hours she was considering if she was going to keep things going with him or end it. She was leaning more on ending it due to events that happened over the past month. Her best friend was telling her to end the relationship only because she did not want to see her best friend back in the hospital like last time.

Swinging back the last of her drink the late boyfriend walks in looking devilish and lipstick kisses all over his collar. She knew it and denied it before, but now she knew she could not hide that he was with someone else.

He leaned in and gave a peck on the cheek and handed her an envelope.

"For your birthday, my dear and also our 5-year anniversary." He sat down and the server walked over asking right away what he wanted. He smirked and said to her just whiskey light on ice. With the order she was gone.

With the envelope burning in her hands, she was itching to open it. Deep down with in her gut she felt that she was not going to be happy with what she was going to find within. He watched her hesitate, but then opened the envelope. He smirked when he saw her face drop upon reading the heavy white paper.

"You're getting married," she stated, "to someone else." She looked up at him hoping for an explanation.

"For the past five years my fiancée was not ready to commit, and neither was I. So, we agree that in five years we would break any current relationship and get married. I told you that my father arranged this marriage when I was young. She is a Japanese woman whose father has a company that my father will now come to own when the marriage is final. Sorry that I had to break this to you on your birthday. I was only using you until the five years where up." He continued to watch her. The expression on her face was readable. She felt hurt, pissed off, and confused all at once. The server came back with his drink, and he continued to watch her. To his surprise the look on her face changed. He was unable to read it.

She stood up with placing the invitation back with its envelope before handing it to him. "Thank you for the gift sorry that I am unable to make it as you know I am a terribly busy person. Congrats on your upcoming marriage. Just be careful with her, woman are very delicate." With that said she walked out. He was extremely glad that he hurt her. He smirked finishing his whiskey before getting up paying the bill.

She did not notice that he left she was too busy on the phone with her best friend.

"So, did you end it or did he?" her friend asked.

"He did sadly, but I am glad he did because I really think that I would have caved in and married him if he asked." she admitted.

"Were you really considering that option?"

"Sad to say that I was."

"Well, I am glad he did it first. You know I had a bad feeling about him when you two started dating." Her friend continue to express her thoughts while she looked around only half listening. She stopped at the front desk spotting a handsome man with his back facing her. He had wide shoulders and from the looks of it very tall. She prayed to what god was listening that he was handsome. Her prayer remained answered, he looked behind him making her to quickly look away in embarrassment. Holy shit he was handsome.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?" her friend yelled through the other end of the phone.

"Sorry was distracted." She admitted to her friend.
