I scrolled through my phone on the couch until I heard a familiar, sweet voice from behind me.

"Thoooommmaaaasssss i wanna go out some where!" the small Caribbean man said and flopped down on the couch, next to me.

"But where?" I replied and pulled Alex, my boyfriend, onto my lap. The smaller man burried his head into my chest and shrugged. The action made my heart flutter.

"How bout the cafe?" I suggested earning an excited nod from Alex.

~Time skip to the cafe cause im lazy~

As we entered the cafe, I accidentally bumped into a woman.

"Oh I'm sorry!" I said and looked up to see who it was I had stumbled into.

I froze when I saw a familiar face. Maria Reynolds. One of my co-workers.

"Oh hey Thomas!" she purred. "Whos this?" She gestured to Alex. I put a protective arm araound his waist and pulled him close.

"This is Alex, my boyfriend."

"Ah! You didnt tell me you had a boyfriend! I'm Maria by the way!" she said cheerfully and shook Alex hand. He pulled away quickly.

"Uh, Thomas. Who's this?" Alex whispered to me.

"Just a co-worker." I whispers back.

"Well, I just wanted to thank Thomas for all the fun we had last week!" Maria exclaimed and clapped her hands together. She was acting overyl excited. She was planning something.

My breathing sped up when I realized what she was talking about. Oh no. Not this. I didnt want him to know about this. I saw Alex glance uncertainly at me.

"Thomas...you said you had to work late that night. Where were you?" I looked into his eyes and all I could see was worry and heartbreak. Tears swam in his eyes. He removed my arm from his waist and looked at me again, pleading with his eyes for an answer. "Thomas..."

I looked around the crowded cafe. No one was paying attention to us. No one realized that my life was falling apart right now.

"Oh! Did you not tell him? I guess I can tell him for you. We went to a bar with a few other co-workers after work," she said. Fake confusion was laced in her voice. I clenched my hands into fists. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was tearing Alex away from me and there was nothing I could do.

I looked back at Alex. Tears were streaking down his cheeks.

"Alex, i-its not like that. I promise," I assured him. I was telling the truth. Nothing ever happened between me and Maria. All we did was go to a bar with some other friends.

But why did I not tell Alex? Why did I lie to him?

That was what I didn't understand.

I took a step towards him but he took a step back, shaking his head slowly. Betrayal shone from his eyes.

My heart shattered. I didnt mean for any of this to happen.

Before I could do anything else, Alex ran out the door with his hand covering his mouth to stiffle his sobs.

I spun my head to face Maria. Anger coursed through my veins.

"What the hell!?" I whispered at her so that I wouldnt catch anyone's attention. She raised her eyebrows in confusion and walked a away, a ghost of a smirk on her face.

I sighed and leaned against the wall. I couldnt go back to our apartment. Alex would need some time alone, and I couldnt go to any of our friends. They would certainly be furious with me.

I guess I was stuck here.

I scanned the place for an empty table but was dissapointed to see only one vacant chair. There was already someone sitting on the other side of the table.

As I shuffled over there, I held my breath and sucked up the tears pooling in my eyes.

"Can I sit here? The other tables are full," I asked. Wordlessly, the man, about mid-thirties, nodded and continued to read a newspaper.

I sat down and put my head in my hands.

I felt numb without Alex at my side, clinging to my arm. I never wanted to sit with a stranger in a cafe, missing Alexander.

I wish I could replace him with my energetic, workaholic boyfriend. My heart yearned to hear his laugh one more time.

We hadnt been apart for more than 5 minutes, but it felt like there was a hole in my heart.

There was nothing I could do right now. There was nothing I could do to fill that hole back up.

I was at the mercy of fate and time now.
