i hate you // lawlorff

two

I woke up with a headache and a boy on my mind.

Something that usually doesn't happen to me.

I popped an Advil and drank the glass of water by my bed. I looked at the smudged numbers written in sharpie on my arm and smiled. Sam wrote his name on it and drew a little heart.

I grabbed my phone from being plugged into the wall and typed in the numbers. I couldn't stop thinking of the blue on the shirt he was wearing and how it made him stand out from everyone else in the room.

I typed in a contact name, as Sam 💙.

I quickly typed a message.

-What time is lunch again? It's Kian btw.

--11am @ Callaher's.

-Another gay bar? 👬

--Is that what you were hoping for?

--no, but i bet it's what u were.. ;)

-shut up

--i'll be there in ten.

I shut off my phone and tried to pick out something to wear. I needed something that said gay, but didn't scream it.

I found a button up shirt and put it on. I could pass for gay.

Who am I kidding.

I arrived at the restaurant after Sam texted me the address and he was already there. He had on a plain white shirt and jeans. Maybe I had overdone it.

"You look good," he said. I smiled slightly and then remembered. He got me into this mess.

I hate him, right?

"You too," I said. I tried hard not to slap myself in the face right then.

He laughed and we saw Dom approaching with a guy.

"Kian! Sam!" he said.

"Here we go," I said sarcastically under my breath.

He nudged me. "Play nice."

Dom hugged Sam and just looked at me.

Um, okay.

"How are you?" Sam asked.

He was pretty considerate. Good to know.

"I'm good! How've you two been holding up?" Dom reciprocated.

Sam answered for us. "Good!"

We sat down at a table a waiter showed us to. Dom and his date sat across from us and Sam and I sat side by side. Sam put a hand on my inner thigh and I immediately tensed up. I could see him smirking from the corner of my eye. I couldn't make a scene and he knew that. The damn boy was playing me.

"So, introduce us to your date.." Sam said, still gripping my fucking thigh, thank you very much.

"Oh, well this is JJ," Dom explained. JJ smiled.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Sam. This is my boyfriend Kian." I fake smiled.

"Nice to meet you both," JJ said.

I sighed and Sam kicked me under the table.

"Ow.." I muttered, resulting in him gripping me harder so that I wouldn't say anything. I was biting my lip out of anger and Sam was loving it.

"So, where do you two work?" Dom asked.

"I work at the Starbucks down the street," Sam said and paused. "I'm in grad school for cardiology."
