Stood Up- John Ambrose

Well, your night was going great.

You had been sitting at the restaurant for more than 30 minutes already, waiting on your boyfriend. He made sure you wouldn't be late, but then where is he? The waitress came by twice, the first time you explained to her that you were waiting on someone, so you just ordered an extra water.

The second time, she came by to refill and again asked if you were ready to order. You saw that look in her eyes when you shook your head and quietly said "not yet"

You hated that look. That one they give you where it's full of pity because they know, and they know you know, but still, she smiled, nodded, and walked away to the another table.

Another 30 minutes passed by,

You wanted to cry. No, actually, you wanted to go curl up into a ball and then have the ground swallow you. Yeah, that was what you wanted.

You texted your boyfriend multiple times, him not even bothering to open the texts. As the waitress came by a third time, you slowly looked up at her.

"Ready to-"

"I'm so sorry I'm late!"

A man, who you didn't know, spoke as he sat down across from you, he shot you a small smile and mouthed the words "Just go with it, I'll explain"

"Traffic was terrible and my phone died! I'm sorry babe"

The waitress smiled as did you. After you both ordered and she was out of ear range, you looked at the man.

"Hi, I'm John. I saw you sitting here and I felt bad after seeing how you looked so sad. So I decided to swoop in"

"I'm Y/n. I appreciate it John, it's nice to see there's still good people in the world. But, aren't you here with anyone?"

"Turns out, I was also stood up by a girl I was supposed to meet"

"I'm sorry John"

"No worries Y/n, besides, if she had came, I wouldn't have been able to meet you"

You smiled at him, fiddling with your fingers on your lap.

The night was filled with laughter and small talk as you got to know one another. You also texted your boyfriend during the dinner, simply saying that you didn't want to he with him anymore because of what he did
Plus, you knew he was talking to someone else. Finally, after you both finishes your dessert and John payed, he insisted on it, he walked you to your car.

"So, Y/n, can I take you on a real date? Maybe this weekend?"

"Sure, that sounds like fun"

"Promise to not stand me up? "

He joked as he raised his pinky finger

"Promise, as long as you don't stand me"

You linked your pinky finger with his, both of you with big smiles on your faces.
