Ten minutes later, I received a text from Joe. It told me I had to meet him that night at 'Divine', the fanciest restaurant I knew of. Nick left, knowing Joe was safe, and returned home. I spent the next few hours with too many thoughts running through my mind... I tried to add everything up.
Joe broke up with Camilla.
We kissed last night.
He disappeared.
And now, he wants to meet me tonight at a fancy restaurant.
I didn't know what to think. I didn't want to either. And then I fell asleep, only to wake up fifteen minutes before I was supposed to be leaving. I threw on a pretty floral dress and a smart black blazer with some heels and left my hair in its natural waves. My makeup had smudged a little, but it gave a more of a smoky eye, so I decided to leave it. Luckily, I was out of the door in good time, but I was soon to find out that it wouldn't have made a difference.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I took a seat at the bar after searching for Joe with no success. I took small sips at my diet pepsi as I watched the door. The restaurant was dark, but each table had a spotlight shining on it. The place was buzzing with coversation but I was being stood up. I felt so humilated sitting there for nearly two hours, ordering countless drinks. When I felt a tap on my shoulder, I felt instantly relieved, but when I turned around, I didn't see Joe. I saw a man, possibly in his early twenties, with dazzling blue eyes and a smile to match.
'What's a pretty girl like yourself doing alone in a restaurant like this?' he said with a velvet voice. 'I'm Marcus by the way.'
I smiled, 'Indie.'
We talked for a little, but then things started to turn.
'So, what do you say we take this somewhere a little more private?' he purred.
He placed his hand on my thigh, and my heart raced with fear. I felt someone kiss my cheek before they placed their arm around my shoulders. It was Joe, and as much as I wanted to hit him for being late, he was my saviour.
'Hey babe. Sorry I'm late.' Joe said.
'Who's this?' the jerk Marcus said.
'Oh, I'm her boyfriend.' Joe replied.
I felt him squeeze my shoulder, a sign for me to play along. Marcus's face was a picture, he looked repulsed. I found myself smiling.
'You ready to eat babe?' Joe asked.
I nodded. 'It was a pleasure to meet you Marcus.' I said with such sarcasm in my voice.
Joe took my hand and helped me off the stool before he put his arm around me and followed the waiter to a table. Joe began to pull out my chair but I held my hand on his arm and he stopped. He looked at me. It had to be now. And I kissed him again, just like I had last night, but this time, there was no regret or guilt. Just pure, no need for a reason, impulsive, heart stopping, love.
