41- we're okay- mike imagine

Request: a mike Montgomery one shot where you go on a date with him to a fancy restaurant but he doesn't show up and you find him kissing another girl at the brew while the reader is walking home. But he didn't mean to cheat so he tries to apologise.

A/N: there's probably going to be a lot of spelling errors...

He had only told you to meet him here early that day, so when he was 15 minutes late you decided to wait.

You were sat in one of the fanciest restaurants in town and honestly you couldn't feel more out of place. Couples surrounded you, laughing, flirting, and just generally spending time together.

You looked down at your watch, seeing that mike was now 45 minutes late. Every now and then someone would look at you and give you a sympathetic smile. Of course they thought you had been stood up, but you knew mike would never do that to you.

You sat and waited for another 45 minutes, meaning mike was an hour and a half late. The waiters and waitresses came over to you regularly, checking to see if you wanted anything, but you weren't going to start without him.

It was only when they came over to ask you to move, that you realised he really wasn't coming. They needed the table for another couple, so you smiled and apologised for taking up room in a restaurant that was so hard to get into. The couples watched you leave and you could feel your cheeks reddening, never feeling so embarrassed. When you left you wrapped your coat tightly around you, trying to keep any warmth you could. The walk home was lonely and your mind was free to wander.

You didn't know if he just forgot or was busy. Then the worst thought crept into your head...... maybe he was hurt. Maybe something happened and he was sat in a hospital bed somewhere. You started to get worried at the thought.

You decided that it would be best to ring him. You had been ringing and texting him all night, but maybe now he would answer. So you typed in the number that was engraved in your head, your fingers automatically knowing which buttons to press. It rang out, finally, not going to voicemail like the other times. But your ears picked up the familiar sound of his ring tone. You spent so much time with him you would know it anywhere. It didn't take long for you to find him, he was stood outside the brew. But he wasn't alone, his lips seemed to be stuck to some other girl. You were on the opposite side of the street, allowing you to walk away without embarrassing yourself further. The last thing you needed was to fight in front of the whole of rosewood.

You'd never felt so stupid, you were actually worried about him. He had stood you up and you were the one feeling guilty. You thought that you weren't there for him, when really he was cheating on you. You could feel the betrayal bubble up inside you, how could he arrange a date, just to spend it with another girl? Was he really that cold hearted and you'd never realised? Maybe he never even loved you like you thought he did.

The tears that fell were quickly wiped away, you refused to cry over someone who was willing to treat you badly.

So you ignored him. You blocked his number, refused to meet him and if you saw him you would just walk away. That was until one day he trapped you. You had nowhere to go and it was clear he was determined to talk to you. You stood, waiting for him to begin, you had no reason to talk to him, and so you didn't think you should start the conversation.

"Y/n.... what happened to us? Why have you been ignoring me?" he asked. The way he spoke just made you angrier at him, it wasn't your fault he cheated, so why was he acting like you were the reason your relationship deteriorated.

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the fact that you stood me up!" you yelled, but backed away a bit, trying to control your anger.

"Y/n.... I didn't mean to...."

"Didn't mean to what? Didn't mean to date me? Didn't mean to ask me to be your girlfriend?"

"No! I meant to go on that date with you, I meant to ask you to be my girlfriend. I love you for god's sake!" he moved closer with almost every word, giving you a pleading look. The anger inside you died down and was replaced by hurt.

"If you love me then what were you doing with her?" you didn't know her name and you didn't want to know her name. But you didn't need to say anything else, the alarmed and upset look on his face told you that he knew exactly what you were talking about.

"y/n you've got it wrong..." he tried to grab your hand, to try and feel you close to him again, but you just pulled your hand away.

"I saw you two. I saw you kiss outside the brew...." Your voice broke at the end of the sentence as you tried to hold in your emotions.

"You didn't see all of it. Please let me explain." You were done fighting, you just wanted the conversation to be over, and so you let him speak.

"I was stuck at lacrosse practice for longer than I thought, aria was driving but she had to stop off at the brew on the way. I went in with her, she took longer than she said she would. I tried to ring you, but it kept telling me you were busy. So I decided to walk. I walked outside the brew and she was there. She tried flirting and I told her I had to get to my girlfriend. Then she kissed me. I was shocked for a while, but then I pushed her off. If you had stuck around you would have seen me push her off. There are witnesses as well. After that I went to the restaurant, they said you had left. I felt awful, I didn't realise how late I was. I tried to call and text you...."

You looked down at your hands as he was telling the story. You knew if he was telling the truth then you had been angry for no reason, you had practically hated him because you couldn't just pick up the phone.

He placed a finger under your chin, tilting your head up so that you looked at him.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to cheat. Really. Love you and no one else. I don't even know that girl. I never meant for it to happen...." He rested his forehead on yours, after you made no attempt at moving away from him.

"I'm sorry" you whispered. He pulled away slightly so that he could look at you better.

"What are you sorry for? I was the one in the wrong."

"No. I was. I was so mad at you..... I was ready to end the relationship and I didn't even let you explain."

"Y/n. I don't blame you, of you ever cheated, I would be furious."

"I never would. I'd never cheat on you mike, I love you too."

"So are we okay?" he asked, his hands snaking around your waist.

"Yes, we're okay." You muttered against his lips.
