Sidemen Imagines

Dinner (Part 3, Simon #4)

Last part of this story, hope you enjoy.

I cried a little, told her everything that had happened earlier and we were now standing in the bathroom. We must have been in here for at least 5 minutes, probably freaking our partners out. I'd calmed down now and it was just a matter of time until I was greeted with Simon again; I wanted to be with him but I didn't want anyone to see me how I was now, especially him. What if he thought I hated him? My eyes were slightly red and my hair was a messy nest on top of my head, clearly showing I wasn't stable, but I had to go see him otherwise he'd worry and I didn't want that.

I finally plucked up my courage, took a deep breath and I was ready to step outside the door. (F/N) went first allowing me to hide behind her until we reached our table. She veered to the right and I continued straight ahead until I met my seat from earlier. Simon glanced up from his now empty plate once he heard my footsteps. I gave him a slight smile as I sat down and he outstretched his arm and snaked it around my waist, pulling me close to him, only stopping once he'd reached my hand, enlacing his into mine. He didn't comment on my appearance, making me feel more confident but still shaky of others around who might judge but he started rubbing his thumb across my hand making me forget about the strangers.

"Does anyone want any dessert?" he asked the table, taking everyone's minds off me hopefully, how kind, or was he just being polite? I locked eyes with (F/N) and subtly turned my head sideways a few times at her, hoping she could mind read.

"No thank you Si, I'm too full from my main and we should probably leave soon to avoid as much traffic if we can", she said looking at Simon and then her boyfriend who agreed after she slipped her hand on to his arm.

"Ok, fair enough...Do you want anything (Y/N)?" he just audibly asked me turning to his side. I didn't feeling like talking, worried my voice would break, so I answered by looking into his crystal eyes and he luckily understood calling the waiter over for the bill. All I wanted to do was just go home and save me and Simon some dignity in the process.

We split the bill and then got up to exit. We greeted each other before we went our separate ways. (F/N) hugged me tightly and told me, "Feel free to text me if you need anything" and I gave her smile of appreciation before we parted to our cars. Simon opened the passenger door for me but stopped me before I could sit down. He held onto my hand and so I automatically turned to face him, where he took hold of both my hands into his.

"I hate seeing you like this (Y/N). I already miss the bubbly, smiling girl I knew a few hours ago", Simon gloomily told me, emotion pouring from his mouth.

"I hate myself too. I hate feeling like this Si, but I guess everyone has sad days they wish to forget", I replied truthfully trying not to make a scene in the car park.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well I hope you feel better later and if not I'll just have to tickle you", Simon said just before he reached out and tickled my sides with a partially stuck out tongue making me giggle and smile.

"Alright you can stop now", I cried out still smiling through my teeth and he stopped, but he didn't stop smiling helplessly.

"I found her. I knew she was still there", he replied with a gleaming white smile, causing me to blush. Simon then leant down ready to kiss me but froze half way down with a look of concern so I looped my arms around his neck and kissed him instead. I smiled brightly as I did and he smiled into my lips too helplessly.

"I missed the real you", Si said after the kiss.

"I missed me too", I replied simply before we finally got into the car and drove home peacefully.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. I have a lot more ideas planned for Simon imagines, I'd love to know if I should stick with Simon or add in others.
