"Hi." I smiled at the host in the super fancy restaurant.

"Do you have a reservation?" He asked seeming not as thrilled as I was.

"Uh Yes...it should be under (l/n)." I said as I tried to peak over the podium.

He look down searching for my name and when he found it he grabbed two menus.

"Right this way." He said in a monotone voice.

I walked behind him and he sat me down in the middle of the room.

"Enjoy." He said trying to smile as he walked away.

I looked over the menu a few times and then when I figured out what I wanted I set it down. I tapped on the table anxiously waiting for my boyfriend of two years to show up. I looked at my phone to see he was ten minutes late with not one text to tell me he was going to be late.

He wasn't the most reliable boyfriend in the world, In fact he has done this before. Most of the time he cancels last minute, but this time he didn't even do that. He was probably drunk somewhere with his friends.

"Hi, I'm Linda I'll be your server. Are we waiting for someone still?" The waitress asked looking at the empty chair.

"Uh yes..." I nodded my head and looked at the chair then back at the lady "he'll be here any second." I smiled.

"I can start you off with a drink if you would like."

"Um yes please...water is fine. Thank you."

The waitress smiled "okay I'll be right back with that."

"Thanks." I whispered.

I checked my phone again...nothing.

"Come on, Chad. Just text me." I whispered to the phone.

The waitress came back with my water.

"Here you go..." she looked at the chair again "would you like an appetizer while you wait?"

"No, no I'm okay. He should be here in a few minutes." I reassured her

"Okay I'll be back to check if you need anything in a little bit." She nodded her head and walked off.

I sat there for an hour...no sign of Chad.

I looked around the restaurant and could see a lot of people looking at me and whispering about me. It made me really uncomfortable. I felt like throwing up. I finally had it. I put my napkin down. I was leaving when I saw a guy walk up to my table with a smile.

"Hey babe sorry I'm so late traffic is crazy right now!" He said as he sat down. "I'm Tom, just go with it yeah? Whoever didn't bother to show up is a douche bag." He whispered to me.

I nodded with a smile "it's okay. I knew you would show up."

He grabbed my hand and smiled and suddenly all the people around disappeared from my mind.

"What's your name, love?" He asked with cute British accent.

"I'm (y/n)." I smiled .

"It's lovely to me you (y/n). You look absolutely beautiful." He said and I blushed.

The waitress walked back to our table.

"Oh he's here! What can I get for the two of you?" She asked

We ordered our food and she walked away.

"You didn't have to do this you know." I said to him.

"Oh, but if I didn't I wouldn't have had the pleasure to talk to you."

I giggled "oh stop! You're too sweet."

"You seem like a wonderful girl. Who would even think about not showing up!?" He asked

"My boyfriend." I sighed

"Oh?"

"Yeah, he's been doing this to me a lot lately. And quite frankly I'm done with it." I stated as I took my phone out of my purse.

"What are you going to do?" He asked

I started to type in phone. "Done!"

"Done? What's done?"

"I just broke up with him." I smiled

"Over text?" He tried to suppress a laugh.

"Yup." I said feeling proud of myself.

"Well he deserves it." He winked

The whole night me and Tom talked. He flirted and made me laugh. He showed me what a real date was supposed to be like and it was amazing.

"Check please!" Tom asked the waitress.

"Separate or Together?" She asked and before I could say anything Tom grabbed his card and gave it to the waitress.

"Together." He said as he looked at me with a smile

The waitress nodded and walked off.

"You didn't have to pay for me." I said

"It would be rude of me not to pay for my dates meal."

I could feel my face turning red "thank you." I smiled

"Any time, love." He said as he kissed my knuckles.

When Tom got his card back he got out of his chair and walked over to me as I got out of mine. He took my coat and helped me put it on. He grabbed my hand and we walked out of the restaurant to my car.

"Thank you for a lovely night." I smiled at him.

"It was my pleasure. I'd love to do it again sometime."

"Tomorrow." I blurted out.

"Tomorrow is perfect." He said as he moved closer to me and gently touched my cheek with his hand. He moved the loose hairs off of my face and rubbed my cheek with his thumb as he slowly went in for a kiss. He smiled at me, our noses touching.

"Goodnight, Love." He said as he helped me into my car.

I smiled at him

"Goodnight, Tom."
