James and myself have been dating for just over 2 years. We met through a mutual friend at a birthday party, being set up as a perfect match. Recently however I have been questioning how much of a perfect match we are.
James has always had a secretive side. When we started dating this intrigued me, he would plan surprise holidays and dates. Recently this side of him has been more infuriating than intriguing, he never seems to be free to go out, but will never actually tell me what he is doing.
Earlier today He sent me a text telling me he would pick me up at 7 and take me out for a meal, so maybe things are turning around.
As I changed into my dress, a cream bodycon dress that has pink flowers on it, my phone vibrated on the night stand. I picked it up and read the text.
"Running late, meet you there"
Great, I grab my pumps out of my wardrobe to drive in, and text him back.
"Okay J xxx"
I apply some makeup and then checked myself over once more in the mirror before picking my keys up, grabbing my bag and heading out to my car.
As I pulled into the car park there were very few spaces left. I pulled into the first one which came into sight. I then climbed out of my car and headed into the Pub. I glanced around the room but could not see James anywhere, the guy at the bar then interrupted my thoughts
"Excuse me, can I help you"
"Yes, my boyfriend has booked us a table, I don't think hes here yet thought. His name is James Jones" The man scanned through his computer.
"Ah yes, table for two, if you would like to follow me" he says leading me to a table and pulling my chair out for me.
"Here is your menu, may I get you a drink?" he asks
"Thank you, could I have a lemonade please" I say, the guy leaves and then quickly returns with my drink, I thank him and then scan through the menu as I wait for James to arrive.
Ten minutes have passed and I'm still sat waiting for James. I hear the door open and a large group of people walk in. I'm sure I recognize some of there faces. I take a sip of my drink before looking up at them again. They are being shown to there table. One of the guys is looking directly at me, the realization suddenly hits me, the guy that's looking at me is Liam from One direction.
I smile at him briefly before my attention is turned to the door, James has walked in and is looking flustered, he's wearing his suit from work. He stops and scans the room before he spots me and makes his way over to where I'm sitting. He places a quick kiss on my cheek before sitting down opposite me.
"Sorry I'm late, you haven't been waiting long have you?"
"No, I only got here a few minutes ago, is everything okay?"
"Yes fine" he snaps back picking up his menu.He glances at it before placing it back down on the table and summoning the waiter over. We place out orders with the waiter and then we are left in silence.
"How was work today" I ask.
"Same old same old." He says, sounding slightly calmer than before, but still not attempting to make any sort of conversation. An awkward silence settles until the food arrives. As we begin to eat I can hear the One Direction lads talking and joking I look up from my food across to them, Liams talking but seems to pause mid sentence looking directly at me, he then continues before all the boys seem to laugh at whatever he is saying. I quickly resume my meal. Once we have finished eating James starts to talk.
"Listen Mandy we need to talk" he says rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh what about" I ask.
"Well, I don't really know how to say this, but well, you know Carla, she's pregnant"
"Carla as in, your friend from work Carla..."
"The baby's mine Mand, I'm really sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. Me and Carla seem to just click, I feel like I can talk to her about anything. We started just meeting for drinks and then one thing lead to another and well the rest is history." I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes, I knew things weren't good between us. But I didn't expect this.
"Say something, please Mand just say something" he says, pleading with me.
"I dont know what to say. How could you?" tears start to roll down my cheeks "You're a liar and a cheat"
"Babe I'm sorry"
"Don't call me that, your apologies mean nothing to me James. Two years, weve been together for two years, why couldn't you have said something if you weren't happy" I say getting up from the table, I've got to get away from him. I head towards the bathrooms, not really looking where I'm going I end up bumping into someone. I mumble sorry before trying to pass them and get into the loos but they stop me.
"I said I'm sorry" I manage to say through sobs as I try to get away from them.
"Hey calm down, are you alright?" I recognize that voice, looking up I see Liam Payne staring back down at me.
