You woke up and felt around the bed for Vi but all you found was an empty bed, you yawned and opende your eyes. You picked your phone up for beside your bed to see if Vi maybe left you a message to say she won't be there. Nothing.
"I'm sure it's nothing" you reassured yourself.
You slowly got up and made your way across the room, you couldn't help but smile at the spot where your missing rug is supposed to be. You couldn't help but think about everything that happened last night.
"It was incredible" you thought out loud as you walked into the bathroom.
As you were staring at yourself in the mirror you could still feel her hands on you, her lips kissing you and the hickey on your neck was proof of that. You couldn't wait to see her.
ૢ
"Is that a hickey y/n?" Mia softly yells when you turn to hand her, her coffee.
"Possibly" You smile as your hand goes to the area of your neck where the hickey is.
"You need to cover that" she said sternly.
"That isn't important right now" you sigh dropping your hand "I still haven't heard from her" you say while staring down at your coffee.
"Maybe she had to go do something important and she just forgot to let you know" she said while shrugging.
"I know but after last night" you sigh "I don't know, I expected things to be different" you said with a sad smile while twirling your coffee around in the cup.
"What exactly did you expect?" she asked while leaning forward on the counter separating you two.
"A relationship" you said jokingly, well at least you thought you were joking.
"Has she asked you to be her girlfriend?" she asked looking up at you.
"Well not exactly but to be fair we did say we love each other" you said looking at her as well now.
"Girl you aren't even dating" she sighs "Look I know those words mean a-lot to you and they should to other people as well but you wouldn't know what she meant with them at that moment" she said with a sad smile
"I know but what about everything else that happened" you said defeated.
"You were drunk y/n, you both were fucked actually" she said before finishing her coffee.
"I wasn't when we started"
"Doesn't mean she wasn't" she walked past you to put the empty mug in the sink.
You finished your coffee and also put your mug in the sink "I just don't want her to regret it"
"I'm sure she won't, just give her time okay?" She tried reassuring you "Try forgetting about her today"
"How am I supposed to do that when her parlour is across the street, what if I see her" you ask while getting a wash cloth to start cleaning.
"Ignore her, pretend she isn't there" she said while shrugging.
"Easy for you to say, you won't be here the whole day"
"It is easy for me because I don't let myself worry about things that are out of my control" she said proudly.
"I'm happy it's so easy for you" you remarked sarcastically.
"You'll survive y/n" she gave you a reassuring smile before she left the bakery.
You sigh one last time and put a smile on your face waiting for the first customer.

Your bakery was filled with cheerful voices, the sound of mugs being put down on tables and the soft music in the background. It has been a busy but good day and you luckily haven't thought that much about Vi but unfortunately every time you heard a notification from your phone your heart skipped a beat but it was never her. It was almost time to close up so all the customers started making their way out of bakery, you really didn't want to be alone.
"Hi" you heard a customer say, you quickly snapped out of your thoughts.
"Hello, what can I get for you today" you said with a smile.
"A coffee and a slice of chocolate cake please" they smiled back at you.
"Of course, would that be all?" You asked while typing the order into the computer.
"Actually I was wondering if I could finish my work here? I know you'll be closing soon but I really need some peace and quiet" they asked nervously.
"Of course no worries, you can go take a seat and I'll bring your order soon" you smile at them.
"Thank you so much" they smile tiredly and made their way to one of the tables.
You quickly started making their coffee and cutting a slice of the cake, you got everything together and made your way to them.
"Thank you, I won't be too long" they say while quickly looking up from their laptop.
"Take your time" you said before turning around.
You made your way to the door and turned the sign around from 'open' to 'closed' and you started cleaning the empty tables along side washing the dirty dishes. You made your way to the customer and saw they were finishing up.
"Everything still okay?" You asked.
"I'm all done, thank you so much" they said with a smile and handed you the cash for their order.
"It was my pleasure, see you again" you said with a smile, putting the cash into your apron pocket.
"Absolutely" they said getting up.
"Have a lovely rest of your night" you said while walking with them to the door.
"You aswell" they said before walking out of the door and vanishing into the street.
You locked the door and went to clean the table the customer was sitting at, it was already pretty dark outside and you quickly went to put all the remaining pastries into the refrigerator.
You made your way to the front of the bakery again but as you did you saw the lights in Vi's parlour being turned on.
"That's weird, no one has been there all day" you thought out loud and completely forgot what you came to do.
You walked to the window which was facing the parlour perfectly and you could see a person inside, you recognised the pink hair and leather jacket and immediately knew it was Vi, you got so excited you picked up your phone to call her, you selected her contact and put the phone up to your ear with a big smile on your face.
One ring
Two rings
She picks up her phone and stares at it.
Three rings
Four rings
She declines the call.
No more rings
She puts her phone down on the table next to her.
"What the fuck" you said louder than necessary and you put your phone back into your pockets.
Your smile dropped completely when you noticed a person walking through the parlour doors, they were wearing a hoodie with the hood off so you couldn't recognise the person.
The person took their hoodie off as they approached Vi and you could see Vi smiling at them, once the persons hoodie was off completely you saw long hair fall free, it's a girl.
Vi grabbed the girls waist and pulled her closer to her, the girl wrapped her arms around Vi's neck and they kissed. You froze.
Vi's hands started exploring the girls body until she removed the girls shirt completely, you gasped.
You blinked and when you opened your eyes again they were making their way to the back of the parlour, you were no longer able to see them.
"What" you tried speaking but a lump started forming in your throat.
"I don't understand" you spoke softly as you started baking away from the window.
You snapped out of it and turned around, turning the lights off and running to your room upstairs.
ૢ
You didn't know how much time has passed, you were sitting on your bed with your knees against your chest.
You didn't even bother changing your clothes or getting under the covers.
You tried making sense of everything that happened but nothing worked, nothing made sense.
Memories of last night flashing through your head.
Her voice saying 'I love you darling'.
Your bed reminding you that you fell asleep in her arms.
You thought of everything that you've told her, how you've been hurt, you trusted her and now she's hurting you in the ways you told her about.
Your room still smells like her cologne.
All you could do was cry and let your thoughts roam around in your head
"Did last night not mean anything"
"Maybe it wasn't her"
"Was everything a lie"
"Why is she doing this"
"I'm not good enough"
"Maybe I saw that wrong"
"She doesn't love me"
You snapped out of your thoughts when you heard a notification from your phone, you quickly searched for it and through blurry eyes you saw it was from Vi. You froze up and started wondering what the message could say.
"I don't regret it"
"I do love you"
"I can explain everything"
"Nothing happened in my parlour I promise"
"Sorry I forgot to message you"
You were becoming so hopeful that she had a good reason for not talking to you or for not answering the phone, you hoped that everything was simply a misunderstanding.
You took a deep breath and opened her message.
Vi❤️
11:58pm
Last night was a mistake.
