seeing you in that dress was one thing. seeing you dance with another guy was another. the second he laid eyes on you he felt like everything stopped. his heart pounded in his chest as he watched you move gracefully across the dance floor, a mixture of admiration and jealousy flooding his mind. he wanted to be the one holding you, to be the one making you smile. he regretted everything. after those long excruciating moments of watching you dance with another guy, he took a deep breath and started walking towards you.
he noticed the way the look in your eyes changed the moment you saw him approaching, and it tore his heart into pieces.
"y/n." he said as his eyes scanned your appearance. "you look beautiful.."
"what do you want nott?" you said sharply.
he winced at the use of his last name and looked down, he couldn't bring himself to look into your eyes.
"you."
"i want you back." he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
you scoffed. "after what you did?" you said.
"i know i have made so many mistakes, but all i do is think of you everyday."
"seeing you tonight- seeing you dance with somebody else. i can't- i want you back."
"i need you back."
"i miss you, don't you miss me?" his tone grew desperate.
"i don't miss the way you treated me." you said.
he swallowed hard, the lump in his throat making it difficult to speak. "i know i messed up, but i've changed. i've been working on myself, and i promise, i won't hurt you again. just give me a chance to prove it to you."
you stared at him, the conflicting emotions evident in your eyes. there was anger, yes, but also a flicker of something else, something that he hoped was the hints of the love you once shared.
"how can I believe you?" you asked, your voice softer now, tinged with uncertainty.
he looked up, meeting your gaze with an intensity that spoke volumes. "i know it's hard to trust me after everything, but i swear on everything, i am not the same person i was. i miss you more than words can say. every day without you has been a reminder of what i lost."
you looked away, the memories of the good times and the bad swirling in your mind. part of you wanted to believe him, to give him another chance, but the hurt was still fresh.
seeing the hesitation in your eyes, he took a step closer. "i love you, y/n. i always have, and i always will. just give me one more chance to make things right. please."
the sincerity in his voice and the pain in his eyes finally broke through the walls you had built around your heart. taking a deep breath, you looked at him and nodded slightly. "one chance, theo. one chance to prove that you've changed."
relief washed over his face, and he reached out to gently take your hand. "i won't let you down. i promise."
as he pulled you into a gentle embrace, the music around you seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of you in that moment.
"i'll hold you to that promise," you whispered against his chest, feeling the fast beat of his heart beneath your cheek.
"and i'll spend the rest of my life proving it to you," he replied, holding you tighter.
