I walk into the fancy restaurant, and as expected, there were people to hold the doors, take your coats, and offer the best service. Man it gave me chills just to be in there. I walked in further and saw Katie, Austin, and Jae sitting at a rounded table. I fixed my hair and made my way over to the table.
"Hey babe, you look great." Jae stood up and pulled the chair beside him out for me to sit in. I gave a small thanks and sat down taking a menu to look at. Not surprised, the prices here were outrageous. $100 for a basket of bread? I don't think so.
I made a face at Jae and he rolled his eyes laughing. "It's our night out, don't worry about the price okay?" I gave him a small nod and looked back at the menu.
"I'll have ½ serving of the fettuccine alfredo with sweet tea." I said to the waiter. He took down my order and walked away leaving us. Austin and Katie were looking at me with weird faces.
"What." I asked. Katie looked at Austin and laughed.
"You come into a fancy ass restaurant and order pasta?" She asked. I raised a brow.
"Girl you know I love my pasta." I said and smiled. Jae put his arms around me and pulled me closer to him.
"Stop bullying my girl guys." Jae said and laughed.
We kept on talking until the food came out and lordy I was right when I said this place was not worth it at all. They literally gave us small portions and the the quality of the food wasn't even that great. But the sweet tea was good, so props to them.
"So Ella, Jae, your one year is coming up. What are you guys going to do?" Austin asked. I saw him smirk at Jae but I shrugged it off thinking that they might have something planned.
I smiled at Austin and then looked at Jae. I actually already planned out what I wanted to do. One year with my baby? Hell yeah I'm going to make it special. I know that the guys should be the ones who go all out for the special day, but who says girls can't put in the effort too?
Jae put his arm around me and squeezed my shoulder. "You can say I have a little sum sum planned out for us." he said and smiled. I smiled back and and snuggled closer next to him.
¨Wow am I lucky or what."I say while looking at him. Jae has been there for me through everything, literally everything. I watched him talk to Austin and Katie about the company and zoned out from staring at him. I inspected everything. The way his hair stays in place, his cute smile, the way his adam's apple bobbed up and down when he laughed. He was just perfect.
¨Ella? Babe?¨ Jae's voice snapped me back to reality. I looked at him and then at Austin and Katie who were looking at me weirdly.
¨Oh sorry, I got distracted.¨ Austin snickered and looked at Jae winking.
"Okay well me and Austin are gonna go pay and then we can go get dessert hm?" I nodded.
They left and I told Katie I was going to the restroom.
When I got inside, I checked my hair and makeup and looked at myself. I was giddy inside and I knew why. I did a last check and headed out the restroom.
"When are you going to tell her?" I stopped in my tracks. That was definitely Austin's voice. But i decided not to think anything was wrong.
"I'll tell her when the time is right, and especially after our 1 year." Jae said. Tell me what? Now i'm worried.
"You think she's gonna be mad?" Austin asked. Jae laughed.
"Nah. I mean why would she, it was just a bet that your stupid ass made me do." Jae replied.
Bet? What kind of bet? Did he sleep with someone? Cheat on me? Do something bad?
"Imagine if I didn't bet that you couldn't be with her for a year and kiss her in the practice room. Man i don't know how you did it so easily. Maybe she was easy ha" Austin said.
Austin told Jae to kiss me that day? Austin betted Jae to be with me for a year? This was all a fucking bet? Anger started to boil in me. So does that mean that his love wasn't real? He was just acting this whole time? I couldn't take it anymore and walked towards them, not even, i was storming towards them.
Austin saw me and his eyes widened realizing that i've been listening the whole time.
Jae turned around and was hit with a surprise.
"SMACK" i smacked Jae across his face with tears starting to form in my eyes. He looked at me with panic written all over his face.
"You're such a dirty person. How could you do this to me? How could you play me like I was a toy. Didn't you see that I was already hurt enough? I guess you couldn't see through that thick ego of yours. Jae, I loved you entirely, I gave you my all. The memories we made together, The I love Yous, the sleepless nights together. Now that I think about it, were you acting this whole time? You didn't mean anything you said did you?" I spat out my words like a wildfire. At this point, everyone in the restaurant was looking at us including Katie who was starting to walk over to us.
Jae looked flustered and lost for words. "Ella let me expl-" I cut him off and scoffed.
"Explain what Jae. That you and your fuckboy friend over here decided to play me? At my most vulnerable time when I needed someone too? How low of you. And you're here speaking of it like it's nothing, like you don't even consider how I feel." I sighed and looked at both Jae and Austin, then back at Jae.
"Jae, we're over. Don't try to contact me again." I took off the promise ring he gave me and threw it at him. I walked over to our table and grabbed my coat and clutch with Jae hot on my heels. But before I walked out of the restaurant, I turned around and faced him.
"Also, you lost the bet. Jokes on you sucker." I smirked and proceeded to walk out. Jae didn't follow me surprisingly and I took this opportunity to cal Mark since I didn't have a ride.
"Hello? Ella did you forget something?" I heard Mark's sleepy voice through the phone.
"Mark, I need you to come pick me up right now. Please. I need you to get me away from this place." I started crying and sobbing into the phone.
"Oh fuck Ella, I'm coming right now. Just wait there and find somewhere warm to stay. I'll call you when I'm close." He said. I could hear him shuffling around the room and yelling at Jackson to get up and come with him. I whispered an okay and hung up.
What just fucking happened. I started walking to the nearest convenience store and sat down inside.
Sometimes, learning the truth hurts.
