failed date - matt

y/n: "oh no no. my bad sorry. you just look familiar somehow... have you been here before?"

boy: "yeah... with my brothers. we had a meeting. we'll be here again tomorrow actually"

he laughed and my brain finally but two and two together.

y/n: "omg you're one of the triplets. hold on. let me guess your name. my little sister trained me for this moment."

i started frothing the milk while we both laughed.

boy: "alright. go ahead."

y/n: "hmmm...... you're the nick guy. right?"

boy: "close. but not quite. i'm matt."

y/n: "fuck. i'm sorry."

matt: "don't apologize to me. apologize to your sister for failing her."

i laughed while finishing off his latte. he seemed really nice... and i really missed teresa...

y/n: "how many people will be at the meeting tomorrow?"

matt: "i'm not sure but it shouldn't be more than 6. why? are you alone tomorrow?"

y/n: "yeah. but i also wanted to ask if you'd mind if i let a customer and maybe her granddaughter in tomorrow. they won't be loud or annoy you in any way i promise."

matt: "as long as the granddaughter isn't like a big fan of us i think it should be fine"

y/n: "the granddaughter is like 6 or 7 so it should be fine."

i handed him his late smiling.

y/n: "that would be 2.50$ for the cheesecake and 3.95$ for the latte. which adds up to 6.45$ total."

he put 10$ on the counter before grabbing his latte and cheesecake smiling.

matt: "keep the change. i'll see you tomorrow y/n"

he winked before leaving the cafe. for a moment i was shocked about how the hell he knew my name but then i remembered i still had my apron with my name tag on. i chucked before cleaning up one last time and making my way back home.

*end of flashback*

the owner of the cafe died not so long ago and i got to take over. it was going great. even tho i wasn't there often i still saw all the positive reviews my business got every day.

today me and matt were supposed to go an a date. in a restaurant not far from my cafe. i was early. as always. being early was just my thing. i hated being late. and still do till this day. i was just 5 minutes early tho. so sat down at a table and waited for matt.

15 minutes.

30 minutes

i decided to text him cause this was slowly getting concerning. he hasn't texted or called saying that he can't make it or theres traffic.

i was sad that he stood me up. of course i was. who wouldn't be. i didn't really want to speak to him. but i wanted an explanation. so i called him myself

*call*
y/n = italic
matt = bold

hello?

yeah?

matt why the fuck would you stand me up like that.

y/n what do you mean? i told you i was going out with nick, chris and madi and i couldn't go.

you didn't tell me shit! i was sitting there waiting for over an hour. calling and texting you. i was actually worried.

i did tell you. it's not my fault you don't listen.

matt. i don't know who you told that but it for sure wasn't me. you think i'd wait over an hour at a restaurant if i knew you wouldn't show?

obviously no. but it's on you for not listening to me.

matthew for fucks sake. you didn't tell me. i pay attention to every single word you say i wouldn't miss something like that.

oh my lord. whatever. i know i told you.

so instead of just apologizing you're gonna be a stubborn asshole and blame ME for YOUR actions aka standing me up?

i'm not being a stubborn asshole-

no that's exactly what you're fucking being. i don't really want to speak to you anymore. i hope you had fun today. sleep well.

*call end*

i couldn't believe him. instead of simply seeing his own mistake and apologizing for standing me up he was really trying to gaslight me into thinking i was the one to blame. cause apparently i didn't listen. i listened to every single word he said with so much attention i could quote every single thing he said every day. i was upset but at least i had something to look forward to tomorrow. seeing teresa and lily again. it's been a while since the triplets have been in now my cafe. so the customers have gone pretty much back to normal. and teresa started coming in more often. and even with lily again. even tho i wasn't an employee anymore. whenever lily and teresa came in i loved helping out. serving some people with lily by my side. having lily hand me the cup i needed. or her pumping the syrup into the cup while i counted with her. all while teresa was peaceful watching and enjoying her latte with oat milk. and i just knew. no matter how many times matt would stand me up. these two would always take my mind off of it and make me enjoy the day.
