I sit by the window of the small cafe as I tap my pen on the side of the notebook thinking of the next line to write in my poem. I lose myself into the empty streets outside.
"You were been told so many promises
That it got tattooed onto your heart
As he is gone
You are suffering to remove those
Broken promises."
I jot down the lines as I look outside the window again.
It's been a few months since my boyfriend of 4 years broke up. After struggling for months to survive out of an emotional abusive relationship I finally managed to come outside. In his case he took just a few days and now he got a new girlfriend.
I sigh as the past memories begin to cloud up above my head. Putting back a lose strand of my hair behind my ear I look down to focus on my poetry.
"Can I sit here?" I hear someone speak. I lift my head up as I reply "sure", with a bright smile. The smiles that appear fake but as a gesture to be friendly. I look around the cafe to find it all empty and yet he decides to sit at my table. I stare at him as he adjusts himself on the chair before taking a sip of his tea.
"So you are having a peach flavour tea." He says as his eyes fell on the half empty cup next to me. "Yeah. It's good." I reply. Three seconds of silence and he begins to speak again. "So what are you writing?" He asks as he bends his head towards the cream pages on my notebook. "Poetry." I reply covering half of the page with my small hands. "Tragic love poems?" He asks looking at me in the eye as he took a sip of his tea. "Maybe." I reply closing the book. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. What about I make it up to you?" He suggests. "No it's fine." I say as I pause to realize that I don't even know his name.
As if he felt it he speaks again. "I'm Tom by the way." "I'm y/n." I reply.
"No wait you can't leave yet." He says in panic as I start to pack my bag. "Because?" I ask. "Um, umm, not unless you answer my question." He says. "Okay?" I say as I wait.
"Will you go out with me?" Tom's question made me shocked. "You just met me here." I say. "Well, actually, this sounds so weird but I know about you from your friend and I suggested to meet you but then she said that because of this and that you wouldn't want to meet me so we planned this. Please don't be mad at her and say yes." Tom says. "I'll think about it." I say as I get up to leave.
"Y/n wait. Remember this, you may have gone through a lot in the past but take this as a new beginning." He says. I nod my head as I head towards the door.
A week later
Tom: "Hey"
Y/n: "who is this?"
Tom: "It's Tom"
Y/n: "Oh, hi"
Tom: "sooo?"
Tom: "Y/n?"
-Tom's P.O.V-
I wait anxious to get a reply from Y/n. Did she just leave me hanging at that? Is she not ever gonna go out with me? Maybe she is scared. The sudden tone of the notification made me jump towards my phone. "Dude calm down." Harrison says. "It's Y/n!!" I scream.
"She said yes!! She said yes!!" I say jumping up and down.
Part 2?
