hey sry not feeling it tn. rain check?
That's the text I get at eight o'clock on Valentine's Day, stood up at the best table at the restaurant in a red dress I can't afford.
But really, I never cared about the blind date. I booked this table because my brother's best friend owns this restaurant. I want him to finally notice I grew up.
He notices and gives me a choice.
I can get in my rideshare, and we both pretend he didn't just kiss me breathless in the parking lot.
Or I can follow him up the stairs to his loft. But he's sixteen years older, and he doesn't do casual. When he says mine, he means it.
I've been in love with him since I was eighteen.
I cancel the rideshare.
