Stood Up (Saint x Perth)

_Stood Up_

Two hours.

That's how long I've been waiting for my date.

He's two hours late and I'm ready to leave, because let's face it.

He's stood me up.

Yet I haven't left. Why you ask? Well I have no idea.

Maybe it's because I've been waiting here for two hours, and I'd feel embarrassed if I left.

I know the café's closing soon, but I'm Still holding out hope. Hope that I haven't just been stood up on my birthday.

I stay in my seet as I watch people leave, and it's soon empty except for me and the staff.

Then I walk out a minute later after I'm told they're about to close up, I pay and walk out the door, head hung low.

Once I've made it to my car I pull out my phone and scroll thru my contacts before finding the one I'm looking for.

"Hey Saint, what's up?"

"Perth can I come over?"

"Err, yeah sure."

"Kay, I'll be there soon."

"Uhhm."

After hanging up I put the car in reverse and drive off to Perth's place.

***

"Hey." Says Perth after opening his door. "Come inside."

"Hey." I say before going inside his condo.

"So what's wrong?"

"What makes you think anything's wrong?"

"Saint, you called me at 8pm on a Thursday sounding like you were upset, that's what makes me think something's wrong."

I sigh as I plop down on his couch.

"I got stood up."

"Oh, sorry. That must suck."

"I don't really care about it that much, it's just the fact that it's my birthday, and he knew that. I mean who the hell stands someone up on their birthday?"

"An asshole."

"True."

"Well I've got an idea. How about we watch movies for the rest of the night and eat ice cream."

"No that's okay, I don't want to impose on you more than I already have."

"Oh come on. You can't just go home and do all of that but by yourself."

"I can."

"Well to bad. You're not going anywhere."

"What, so you're just gonna hold me here against my will?"

"Yep."

"Okay, seems about right."

"I'll go get the ice cream and you choose what movie to watch."

"Kay."

He goes off into his kitchen, moving himself out of my view. I get up from the couch and head over to where he keeps all his movies.

After a minute or two I've chosen a movie to watch, and just as I come back into the lounge so does Perth.

"What we watching?"

"Bad Genius."

"Cool, pop it in and let's watch." I nod and do just that before going back to the couch and taking my bowl of ice cream.
