les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

47. Valentine's Day

Imagine: Eric surprising you on Valentine's Day! 

*************************************

You and Eric had been dating for 6 month now, and tomorrow was your first Valentine's Day together, but of course, Eric wasn't having it. You sat across from him in the cafeteria and he just kept rolling his eyes and groaning at the cute couples who surrounded you, "Fuck this shit, why is this even a holiday, all this lovie dovie crap makes me want to puke."

You let out a fake giggle, in reality it kind of hurt that Eric would never treat you like all the other guys treat their girlfriends on holidays like this; he just wasn't the type of person to do so. You unintentionally let out a sigh and Eric looks up at you, "Is everything okay Y/N? You look kind of upset."

"It's nothing, I'm just tired," Of course I'm upset you idiot!

"Alright then let's go back to the apartment," You nod at him and the two of you walk to your shared apartment.

Eric left for work a little early that morning, so you joined your friends,Tris, Christina, and Will, for breakfast. Soon enough, Will and Christina's Valentine's Day cuteness became too much for you to handle, and you tried to start up a conversation with Tris, but that didn't last very long either, because Four showed up behind her with a bouquet of roses. Great, what's next, is everybody gonna start slow dancing in the cafeteria now?

You watched them for another minute or two, hoping that Four would leave or that Christina and Will would stop devouring each other and focus on their food instead, but when that didn't happen, you just got up and left. You went to work early that day, you worked in the control room alongside Uriah and his brother Zeke. As you walk in Zeke asks, "Was the scene in the cafeteria too much for you to handle?"

You roll your eyes and sit down next to Uriah who says, "You're just jealous that Eric didn't bring you roses."

"Way to add salt to the wound Uri," You gently punch him in the shoulder, you knows he's only kidding but it hurts because it's true.

"It's okay Y/N, at least you can get a boyfriend, unlike Uri over here," Zeke laughs and you smile at him.

That day goes by slowly, the screens constantly showing footage of people making out on the streets or in the hallways, you feel sick by the end of it.

You look at the clock, 8:00pm; you should probably get going now. You say goodbye to Zeke and Uriah, and leave the control room, walking back to your apartment.

When you open the door, you see that the lights are dim. What the hell? You look down and see rose petals scattered all over the floor making a trail towards the dining room. Did Eric actually do this? You follow the rose petals and walk into the dining room, you see Eric standing by the table wearing a black button up shirt and black jeans. Damn he cleans up nice. He walks up to you and hands you a single rose.

"Happy Valentine's Day Y/N," He says gently.

"I thought you hated Valentine's Day?" You say, not being able to wipe the stupid grin off your face.

"I might hate Valentine's, but I do love you. I saw how upset you looked yesterday when I was talking about how much I hate it, so I thought I'd surprise you." He smiles.

You hug him, "Thank you Eric. I love you too!"

"Now let's eat dinner," Eric says pulling a chair out for you.

"Damn Eric, did you make this?" You gush.

"Yeah I did, I took a cooking class back in Erudite," The two of you talk and eat until you're stuffed.

You both get up and take the dishes to the counter and he smirks at you, "Now, let's take this to the bedroom."

You roll your eyes and he winks, picking you up bridal style and carrying you away.
