you sighed again as you checked your phone. he's 30 minutes late. you were so embarrassed to just sit there, in one of the nicest restaurants in town, only to be stood up by your date. and this wasn't the first time either. you were pulled out of your thoughts by a waitress putting a hand on your shoulder, "excuse me miss, but i'm afraid you'll have to leave if you don't order anything." she said in a soft voice. you looked at her and then back at your phone; still no text.
you frowned, plucked your purse up from the table and started to stand up. you could feel everyones eyes on you. you swallowed hard as hot tears threatened to fall from your eyes. just as you were about to head for the door, someone rushed to sit in the seat on the other side of the table.
he said, "hey babe i'm sorry i was late, traffic was crazy tonight!" but it wasn't your boyfriend.
you slowly sat back down and he leaned across the table and whispered, "hi, i'm jaeden, just go with it."
you nodded, still in shock, "i'm [y/n]."
"well nice to meet you, [y/n]. sorry your boyfriend is such a dick. you should break up with him," he exclaimed, taking a breadstick from the wicker basket in the center of the table. you only nodded.
the one thing you couldn't understand was why he looked so comfortable. after all you were almost jumping out of your skin with- with, ok so you couldn't exactly explain what the emotion you were feeling was, but, you liked it? this time you really looked at him and took a good mental picture. he had dark brown hair and crystal-like blue green eyes. he was cute. but you had a real boyfriend.
soon enough, the waitress came back and took both of your orders. through the night you found out that jaeden is hilarious. and you became sad when you found that it was time to leave. you walked out of the door together, but you both had to go separate ways. you turned to look at each other. "i guess this is goodbye." you say quietly.
"i-it doesn't have to be."
"i guess you're right. here," you handed him your phone, "put in your number, i'll text you when i finally get the courage to break up with my shitty boyfriend."
"here," he handed the phone back to you, "talk to you soon, hopefully."
you looked into each others eyes for a few split seconds but it seemed like hours. that was, until he looked away. "i better be going."
"yeah."
you turned around and started walking but felt your phone buzz in your pocket. you stopped to look at it.
text from: babe 💓
hey [y/n]. i'm sorry. i can't do this anymore. we're through.
you looked up. you couldn't believe him. but you could. you turned on your heel and ran into jaeden, who was right behind you.
"i can-" he started, but was cut off by you pressing your lips on his. you could feel him smiling into the kiss. you pulled away and touched foreheads with him. "you wanna go on a real date sometime?"
"gladly." you smiled and kissed him again.
that was my first one!! it wasn't requested but I needed a start. i hope you like it. requests are open!!
