Connected hearts [ticci Toby x reader]

[chapter 9]

[name's] POV

"Apologies but I don't think I'll be able to attend the funeral I-...yes...okay...I'll see if I can..goodbye."

I sigh in distress as I wasn't ready to face the fact that my mother was dead...she's gone...she really is...

"Is everything ok?" Nathan said with a worried face expression.

"Everything is fine, don't worry." I said as I try to smile it off.

"So where are we going?" I asked as I tilted my head.

"Oh umm it's a surprise." He said. I only hummed in response and stayed quiet throughout the ride to the place...What felt like hours we finally made it. It was a French restaurant, it wasn't to expensive and it wasn't to fancy, it was perfect.

We walked into the restaurant and took are seat as we waited patiently for the waitress to come.

"Hi! How are you two doing? What would you like to order?" She was with a toothy smile...

"Im doing well thank you, I would like to order the 'pesto pasta' please."

"Okay, and for you sir?"

"I'll have spaghetti please, and wine as my beverage." He said casually. Couldn't help but to feel uncomfortable but yet to be curious of what it taste like. Their was a moment of silence between us, so me being me I had to say something.

"So...hows your day?"

"It was ok actually...how about you?"

'My mom died and my father is in prison...and the last thing I said to her was enjoy your pitiful life' I thought to myself...

"It's doing pretty well..."

"Alright! Here's your pesto, and here's your spaghetti." She said as she placed are food in front of us along with the wine in the center of the table.

I couldn't help but to watch Nathan opening the wine, as I was curious to know.

"Can I try?" I asked. He seems surprised by my question but he obliged. "Sure." He said as he pour the drink into the wine glass. Doing so I took a sip, the smell was strong and the taste was bitter. I stick out my tongue in disgust of how the taste was...but the after taste was different...it taste... good...I took one more sip as I was now adapted to the smell and the taste.

"Hey, take it easy." He said in a worried-some tone.

"I'm sorry it's just that it taste good."

-time skip about 30 minutes-

We laughed and talk but I couldn't help but to feel a little bit tipsy. I felt the urge to use the bathroom so that's what I did.
"Hey, I need to go use the washroom I'll be back." I excuse myself.

Doing so it gave me time to refresh. I couldn't help but to feel incredibly uncomfortable when I'm around him...do I not like him? I feel like I left something at home but I don't remember what. I left the restroom but only to find Nathan...with another girl...it was the waitress...

What is going on? Why are they laughing? Why are they both smiling?!

"Nathan?..." I said as I interrupted him...

"Oh! Your back! How was the restroom?" He said...why did he said it so casually? Like nothing happened between him and the waitress?

"It was fine...I have to go..." I said with anguish pain...I feel so frustrated and so sad? Why do I feel sad? I don't even like him! I then abruptly took the wine with me...I didn't even say goodbye...

"Wait were are you?"

"Don't touch me...I have to go..." I then exited the restaurant and called a Uber to pick me up...each minute I waited I took a sip of the wine as I can feel myself slowly fading away from reality...but seriously...why do I feel sad?...am I heartbroken?...did I believe in something? Did I believe that I had something with Nathan? I couldn't help but too feel my tears came crawling down my face once more. My throat began to clogged up and my eyes started to puff.

"Wow...I'm such an idiot..." I said as I laugh at my own stupidity for believing in such nonsense...my thoughts were cut off as I can see my Uber driver was in front of me. I got in the car and stayed quiet through out the way back home...

-another time skip-

What time is it?

"Ma'am your destination, were here."

"Oh...thank you..." I said as I got out of the car. Doing so I was approaching my house until I saw a familiar face...it was Toby...I couldn't help but to smile as I was more than happy to see his face again...
