How Did This Happen?

Unwanted Surprise

Thomas and I meet at the cute little restaurant. We just ordered our drinks.

"Want to play questions?" Thomas asks.
"Sure! You can go first."
"What do you do in your free time?"
"Well, I do a bunch of things. I like to draw, write, paint, craft, cook, watch movies, and play video games. That's all it's kinda boring and generic." I say laughing.
"I don't find that boring at all. You're crafty and creative, that's really cool." He says with a smile and I blush.
"So what do you do in your free time?" I ask genuinely curious.
"I usually play music or write."
"I love music."
"Me too." We just smile at each other then the waitress comes for our food order.

We order our food and keep talking. Once our food gets to the table we start eating and continue to talk. I realize I'll be late back to work but my boss likes me so he won't be too mad. I hear the door open and see Thomas glance at it then look shocked. I turn to see who it is and see it's a girl with red hair. (Nothing here is real) She looks around and spots Thomas. She starts walking towards us and I look at Thomas with confusion.

"Hey Tommy." The girl says to him.
"Uh, Hi Lilly." He replies nervously. I sit there completely confused watching them.
"Who is this?" She says glancing at me.
"My, uh, friend." He replies.
"Oh, good. I was afraid you were cheating." She says with a sigh. It suddenly clicks. All his texting, and the shocked face.
"I'll let y'all talk. I have to get back to work." I say standing up not looking at Thomas at all.

I start walking to the café trying not to cry. I honestly thought he was interested in me. I thought we had something special. Once I get back to the café Brandon (her boss) walks over looking mad until he sees I'm about to cry. He engulfs me in a hug and asks what happened. I explain it to him and he seems angry hearing everything. I tell him it's fine and get back to work. I was droopy the rest of the day. Once I was done with work I headed home, I got there and sat on my couch, just drawing pictures for about 3 hours. I take out my phone to text Liz when I notice I have 10 messages from Thomas and 5 calls.

Sky I'm sorry!
Sky please forgive me.
*call*
I can explain who she was.
*call*
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Please Sky, please.
*call*
I swear she isn't my girlfriend.
*call*
Sky I really want to talk to you please.
Listen to me please.
Sky, I'm sorry.
*call*
I'll leave you alone now.

    I start crying just thinking about it and text him.

There's no explaining needed. Enjoy your life.
Sky! Please. I need to talk to you.
I'm good. Thanks anyway.
Sky please listen.
Bye Thomas.

     I turn my phone off and curl up into a ball. I cry myself to sleep.

-next morning-

     I wake up and head to bathroom. Once I'm done in there I grab black skinny jeans and a grey sweatshirt. I head to work and do my work. Once it's my lunch time I go to the break room and eat an apple. Liz tries to get me to eat more but I won't listen. Then she says something surprising.

     "Sky, I told Thomas where you lived. He wants to talk to you. You should listen."
     "You did what?! I don't want to talk. He already has someone! He doesn't want me."
     "Sky! Snap out of it! You need to listen to him. He has something important to tell you! You need to get over yourself."
     "I guess your right. I'll talk to him after work."

     I work for the rest of the day occasionally hearing my phone ding indicating Thomas was texting me. Once the day was over I headed home. When I got there Thomas was sitting on my front steps staring at his phone with a sad look. It broke my heart to see him like that.

     "What do you want Thomas?" I say walking up and unlocking my door.
     "I need to talk to you. Please."
    "Yea, whatever come in." I said incredibly bland. We sat on my couch and I faced him.
     "Sky, I'm not dating her. She is a co-worker that's obsessed with me. She always wants to date me but I don't want her. When I met you I finally felt happy to be around someone. She just doesn't like me being happy and tries to ruin my life because I won't date her." My face probably looks shocked.
    "Really? I-I make you happy?" Confusion laced in my voice.
     "Yes, Sky, you are what I look forward to seeing when I wake up. I go to the café everyday just to see you." He scoots closer to me wrapping his arms around me. I hug him back and we just sit there for a minute.
     "Do you forgive me sky?"
     "Yes." I say happily. "Do you want to watch movies?" I ask with hope in my voice.
     "That sounds great."

    I turn on a movie and get some snacks. I sit next to Thomas and we sit cuddled together for about 4 movies before I fall asleep on his shoulder.
