Y/N's POV

I tapped my fingers nervously against the tabletop with one hand as I checked my phone with the other. 6:30 and he still wasn't here.

Godsdammit. I thought to myself. It's been half an hour and he hasn't even texted me once. He's probably "forgotten" about our date again.

"Ma'am?" I looked up at the waitress. If Ethan was here, he'd probably flirty with her. "Would you like to order now? Or are you still waiting?" Bitch, I'm sitting at an empty table. How could I not be waiting! Well, I guess he could theoretically be in the bathroom.

"No, I'm still waiting. I'm sure he'll be here soon." I smiled politely as she walked off.

I sighed to myself in the noisy restaurant and slumped in my chair. Two more times. I'll let her come over two more times and then I'll leave.

I can't handle all these stares I'm getting. Mostly it's the older folks, but there's a few teenagers glancing at me. I can see their apologetic looks and sorrowful gazes that show they know I'm being stood up. But I just can't bring myself to leave. Not yet.

But that changes when I hear a little girl from a table behind me ask, "Mommy, why has that girl been sitting all alone?"

I stand up roughly, and am about to shove my arms into my coat when a boy stops me by gently placing a hand over mine.

"I'm sorry I'm so late, babe. Traffic is crazy right now." He explains in a loud voice. He guides my back into my chair. In a quieter voice he adds, "I'm Luke. Just go with it, yeah? Whoever didn't bother to show up is a dick."

His hands were warm, meaning he's been inside and not in the freezing January weather. Meaning he knows that I've been sitting here for 40 minutes like an idiot waiting for a douche of a boyfriend who stood me up.

I nod and a smile graces my features as I said in the same small, conversational voice, "Yeah, he is a dick. He hasn't even texted me once to let me know that he's either on his way or that he's not even coming at all."

We talk for a while, mostly discussing what to order. The place we are at is a family-run business, with lots of family-style meals.

"What do you normally get?" Luke asks.

"I mean, it feels kinda weird to talk about what I'd do on a date with the guy you're covering for with you, but we'd normally split a (favorite meal)." I replied.

"Do you wanna do that and get a dessert?"

"Sounds like a plan. But you can choose the dessert because I choose the meal."

"How abouuut..." Luke opened the dessert menu and closed his eyes. He swirled his finger around then randomly dropped it onto the page. He slowly peeked one eye open. I smiled softly at the cute way he choose something. "Hot fudge sundae it is then."

The waitress comes over once more and is surprised that, this time, there's a boy sitting across the table from me. I mean, she doesn't know that he's not my mans, but that's our secret. "What can I get for you tonight, sir?" She asks directly to Luke, completely ignoring me. She adjusts her uniform and her stance to show off her body more, angling herself towards him.

"What would you like, darling?" He asked, completely avoiding her and her question, staring right at me and making me blush at the same time. I didn't know this guy very well and he was already calling me cute pet names and it was making it hard for me to think.
