One week later

Its been a week since I've seen your beautiful face (y/n). Doesn't mean I haven't been finding out more and more about you. Social media is such a wonderful tool, is it not? Now, I've found out more about you and let me just say you are an extraordinary person. I wonder when you'll be back at the bookstore. I just wanna see that beautiful smile again, that's all. Other then seeing it on social media or from your window. Don't think me wrong, I'm not stalking you, only just checking on you to make sure you're safe. I only care for you (y/n) and I would do anything to make sure you're safe. Why, right now,  I'm looking at you as you get ready.

You were currently getting ready for your date tonight. Yes, you were going on a date with the guy who worked at the ice cream shop that was three blocks away from your apartment. You haven't been on a date in a while and to tell the truth, you were excited. The guys name was Aaron. You were currently fixing your hair when you got this strange feeling that you were being watched. You stopped what you were doing and looked around, until you heard knocking.

You opened the door to find Aaron standing there with his brown hair gelled up, wearing a red flannel with a black shirt underneath, jeans, black high top converse, and holding a bouquet of (favorite flower) in his hand. You smiled at Aaron and hugged him, which he gladly returned. You both walked to your favorite restaurant, which was only a couple of blocks away from your apartment. After entering the restaurant, you two were seated in a booth. You decided you needed to go the bathroom and left your phone on the booth seat. Aaron decided to go to the bathroom a couple of seconds after you left. Your phone still sitting in its position on the booth seat. No one would steal it, right?

When you and Aaron both came back from the bathrooms, you both decided to order. While you two were waiting, you guys talked about your hobbies, interest, etc. Sometimes, Aaron would crack a joke and you couldn't help but laugh. You got that feeling again, like someone was watching you. You decided to brush that feeling off, being as you didn't want to ruin your date.

After you guys were done eating and you paid, you decided it was time to end the date. You guys walked to your apartment, holding hands. You both were standing at your front door, staring at each other. Both of you knew you didn't want this date to end, but you both had things to do. You were about to say something when Aaron kissed you. A simple kiss turned into a make out session. Aaron wanted to go further, but you decided to stop. Unlike most of your friends, you don't sleep on the first date. You both said goodbye and gave Aaron your number. You went inside your apartment and decided to watch some Netflix.

You really enjoyed your date with Aaron. I can't say another person enjoyed it as much.

You were currently fixing your hair. Based on your outfit, it looked like you were going out somewhere. I don't know where you're going but one thing I can say is that your ass looks nice in those jeans. I wonder, where are you going?

I kept looking at you getting ready when all of a sudden I see this guy walk inside your apartment. I didnt think much of it until I saw him walk out with you.

Um, (y/n), who the fuck is this?

Me, being the curious person I am, decided to follow you. I have to make sure that you're safe, right? You and this guy walked into a restaurant and sat down at a booth. I put on my grey cap and sat down two booths away from you, watching you guys talk. You then excused yourself to the bathroom and left your phone on the booth. Not even 10 seconds later, that guy left to use the bathroom. Before he left, we both made eye contact and if looks could kill, he would be dead. After he left, I walked along side your booth, made sure that no one was looking, and quickly scanned your phone with an app I got the other day. Now I can know what or who you're texting and doing on your phone.

After I was done, I put your phone back in it's spot and sat at my booth. You came back 2 minutes after that incident and your date came back 4. You both ordered your meals and chatted. I, on the other hand, only ordered a burger and pretended to be on my phone so I wouldn't seem suspicious. Every time he made you laugh, I could feel myself getting angrier. I should be the one making you laugh, not him. Once you both were done, you guys started walking back in the direction of your apartment. I payed for my meal and left, quickly catching up with you and your guy.

You both made it back to your apartment and something I never expected happened. He kissed you. Not only did he kiss you, you kissed back. I felt my blood boil as you began to make out with this man.

That should be me kissing you (y/n). That should be me making your cheeks flush and holding your thigh. Not. Him.

Thank god you stopped your little season before it turned into anything else. You both said goodbye and you went inside your apartment. I saw your date walk out with a smug grin on his face. I can tell there's something wrong with this guy but you're too blind to see it.

I'll have to fix things now, won't I?
