Chapter 9: I'm Just Trying to Relax... Oh My God.

Rio should be on his date right now, right? Isn't that great for him- Of course I'm being sarcastic, I'm nothing but bitter-sour about it, about Rio going on a date. I already decided to avoid him, so I can't build a friendship with him, let alone... Let me take my mind off of him, treat myself. I'm gonna go to this 5-star restaurant, why not? Rio... I'm still thinking about him as I pretty myself a little, still dressing tomboyish. Baggy jock-style long-sleeve with a one with "The Winner" printed neatly on the back, dark grey cargo jeans, and black boots... I forgot the brand, but they're my favorite boots.

I put on matte, pink lipstick, Fenty blush and highlighter, (live, laugh, love Rihanna) making sure to check after each step. I put on setting spray and decide I've covered my ugly enough to look good from far away... Or something. My face screws up a bit as I look in the mirror, a lack of reassurance always leaves me feeling ugly, especially if I only get compliments as a result of pity if I say I feel ugly. I keep my hair down and curly, making sure the frizz was still faint and cover my ears with my hair. Anything to cover my face. After all, if he doesn't see it, then it doesn't matter- I should stop thinking about him. I grab my keys, phone, and wallet, then  head to my Toyota.

I get to the restaurant and wait about 5 minutes before I'm seated. I sit down to hear this couple talking- Well, seems one is talking more than the other... I'm bored, I'll eavesdrop.
"Do you know what you're getting?"
"Mm-mm..." That tone sounds familiar... I'm probably overthinking it.
"Maybe the steak? You said you liked it some time ago, and you need some meat on your bones." This voice I don't even think I could recognize, but maybe ot is someone I know who doesn't deserve to be recalled in my memory? Hmm...
"Sounds good..." I swear... I swear it's him... I'm probably wrong...

Come on Selena, you came here to rid your mind of him... Chillax...
"What would you like to start with?" The waiter says all happy-go-lucky. Girl, I got it, I'll rate you well on your website, like, quit the fake niceties!
"Water, please..."
"Alrighty!" She walks away in an overworked manner. I guess she was as genuine as she could be after a tiring day. Understood, Fiona, I'll say your service is good as long as it stays that way...
"...You're so cute, you know that?"
"Th-Thanks.." I swear- Oh- My- God. No way, that's actually Rio... With Mory, on his damn date... What the fuck?!

Rio's looking away and seems a bit unfocused, he's nervous... So, the compliment made him like that... Damnit...
"I mean it, Rio," the bastard puts a hand down gently on Rio's chest, leaving it to rest there, "you're cute..."
He pauses for a moment and looks at his hand before looking away and blushing. I'm focusing so much on these two that I don't know what to get... I'll get a medium-well cooked sirloin... Mm, my mouth is watering already. Though, that might be because my mouth is gaping open at the sight of Mory leaning in to kiss Rio.
