Reunite

The meeting

(10 years have past from then)

I woke up from my phone getting spammed by calls by one of my friends.
I picked up my phone and answered with a sleepy voice. "WAKE UP YOU ASS, WE'RE HAVING A REUNION WITH OUR FORMER HIGHSCHOOL FRIENDS AND MAYBE EX'S!"
"What? REALLY!" I screamed.
"Apparently your old ex is going to be there, and he's never been hotter. Are you up for it? I heard he still likes you"
"I mean I guess, I could try and sort it out with him, as I haven't talked to him since Highschool, other than continuing messages on my old phone." I replied.
"Well, that's fine by me, but make sure to wear a nice outfit!" He laughed.
"Ye ye, bye." I pressed the end call button and got out of my bed.
Is this really happening? Am I going to meet my ex?!!
I can't believe it. And apparently he's way hotter than before? Oh I'm gonna faint.
You know what they say, the older the better. I groaned. "AHHHHH!!!" My phone lit up again.
It was a message from the same friend that called me. It read, "I know your still on that stanky ass chair, get off it and go shopping, because the reunion is FUCKING TOMMORROW, get ur ass up."
I scrambled to the bathroom and frankly started getting ready. Jeezzzzz can he not wait?

It hit 9 am and I finally got ready.
I got my keys and closed the door and was ready to go out to the city centre.
I looked around as I was walking through the dirty alleyway to get there, and I was relieved to not see anyone sketchy.
But then I heard a noise behind me.
"Watch out!!" I heard someone yell as they jumped infront of me.
I stumbled to the ground as they layed ontop of me.

"Who are you??!!" I said, as I pulled his hood down.
He winked at me. "Guess"
OMG, it was Pat.
"You know what nevermind , thank you for saving me, see you tomorrow and bye," I secretly blushed after seeing his still, very handsome face "I have some shopping to do."
"Let me come with you." He grabbed my wrist.
"No.." I muffled my words as I blushed, "Fuck off."
"If you say so, cutie." He said, as he walked away.
Ugh, so annoying.

I finally arrived at the place I was looking for after that tiny incident with Pat and I.
I walked in and looked around.
The place was absolutely GORGEOUS!

I wondered and walked around in the mall, looking for good shops to look for clothes.
Finally I found one, it had beautiful clothes that were perfect for tomorrow.

I walked in and was picking out clothes till I heard a familiar voice coming from one of the changing rooms.

It was Pat, once again.
"Hey, can you help me take this shirt off?" Which I'm pretty sure he said to employee.
He turned to face me and lifted his arms.
"Are you not taking it off?"
"But I'm not—"
"It's fine."
He grabbed my hands and got me to take it off him.

I deeply regretted coming to this shop.
"Why are you here!" He said, covering his body with his shirt.
"You grabbed my hand..." I said.
"My bad, that's probably why he seemed a bit off."
I looked up at him annoyed.
He smiled, "You can go back to shopping now, you don't have to stare for too long." He stared down at his abs.
Only then did I realise, I was looking at his body, not his face.
"Fuck." I muttered under my breathe.

I finally picked out some clothes and figured that Pat was gone.
I went into the changing room in front of me, forgetting who had been in there just a second ago.

I was taking off my shirt before I heard whispering, not from in front of the room, but more like behind me. I twisted my body, only to see Pat hurled up in the corner.

"You might want to hurry up, before I do the unthinkable."
What did he mean?
"The store just closed right now, so I'll call the workers to come quick."
I was too busy fixing my self before I realised they had also locked the changing room we were in.
————————————————————————

No no, this can't be. Pat turned my face with his hand and smirked at me.
"We're for real alone now, aren't we?" He chuckled.
He pinned me against the wall and looked at me. "You seem a bit shy, I'll leave you to go back to shopping just for today, don't forget about it." He smiled, as he took a key from his pocket and unlocked it, to reveal the store wasn't even closed.
"Just so you know I'm the CEO of this shop"
He gently laughed, "Shall I give you a discount?" I quickly walked away. "Bastard" I mumbled under my breathe. "What was that?" He questioned. "Nothing." I said picking out a suit. I walked to the register. "Just this, thank you." I payed and noticed the price was a lot lower than the original one, I chuckled. He really did give me a discount.

I hope he doesn't mention anything about this at the reunion, oh gosh that would be so embarrassing...I don't even want to think of what he would've done to me, would he had beat me up, or worse.
KILL ME?
Well, I'm still here so I can say for certain he wasn't going to kill me.
But how do I keep running into him and having cliche cringy scenarios?... this is so annoying because it's as if we're remaking scenes from a cringy old drama.
