The first thing I saw the next day when I went onto Instagram was pictures of me and Timmy at the restaurant last night. It was embarrassing seeing myself be so out of place. My mouth was hanging open in at least three pictures while Timmy was smiling at the camera in all of them.
The pictures of us walking out of the restaurant were not as embarrassing, though, at least not for me. Timmy's facial expression described his situation perfectly. As mentioned before, his facial expressions always revealed his true feelings. You could see the discomfort on his face, that he wanted nothing but to disappear from the situation.
I felt sorry for him, but I couldn't help but laugh since I knew why he was uncomfortable in the first place. And truthfully, he could only blame himself. He was the one who had spilled that drink on his lap, after all.
When it was time for me to get up and get ready for work, I scrambled out of bed and changed into a pair of blue jeans and a light pink hoody before brushing my hair. I applied some make-up as well, putting a little more effort into it today for some reason I didn't know myself.
Once ready, I exited my room and went downstairs to prepare myself something for breakfast. My toasts popped the second Timmy joined me in the kitchen, only a pair of grey sweatpants hanging loosely around his slim waist. I had to force myself not to stare at his naked chest because damn, this was unfair. Why did he have to do this to me?
"Morning," he said in a sleepy voice, stretching his arms.
I grabbed my toasts, keeping my gaze on them as I mumbled out a 'morning' in return. It wasn't until I had sat down at the kitchen table that he realized I was already fully clothed and ready for work.
"Where are you going?" He wondered, sitting down opposite me with a frown between his eyebrows.
I looked up at him, his gorgeous green eyes staring into mine. Clearing my throat, I looked away from him again. "I have work today."
From the corner of my eyes, I could see his mouth form the shape of an 'o'. "Right, I almost forgot about that."
I chuckled, looking up at him. His curls were unruly from sleep, yet they looked perfect. I really had no idea how he did it. I was beyond envious. I wish I could look as good as him without bothering with anything in the morning.
"Good thing I didn't."
He shot me a smile while shaking his head. "Did you see the embarrassing pictures of us yesterday?" He wondered, the smile never leaving his face.
Taking a bite of my toast, I nodded my head. "Yeah. I'm so happy you spilled that drink on yourself. Otherwise, I would've been the only one who was embarrassed. I mean, damn, I looked like a deer caught by the headlights."
He bit his bottom lip. "I was probably worse than you, but I bet you were glad I saved you from the cameras," he winked, making me roll my eyes.
"Maybe there was a reason I decided to be kind enough to save you from them on our way back to the car."
