Your longtime boyfriend, Ethan, finally decides to take you out to dinner after a few long weeks of barely seeing you.
Lately, he has been pretty busy filming and rarely has any time to spare.
This has created some distance between the two of you and has caused many heated arguments.
Being around him now feels kind of awkward and uncomfortable since a lot has changed in your relationship with him.
Yet that never truly changed your feeling for him.
Ethan and you leave your shared place and arrive at the restaurant a few minutes afterward.
He quickly jogs to your side and opens your door.
You thank him and connect both of your hands as you make your way to the restaurant.
You guys get a table and wait for the waiter to come to get your orders.
"You look beautiful tonight," he says looking up from the menu meeting your eyes.
"Thank you. You look very nice too," you say slightly whispering, feeling a little embarrassed.
The waiter finally arrives and starts to take your order.
"Hi, I'm Chris, your server today, what can I..." he looks up from his notepad and looks at you. "...help you with," he says, raising an eyebrow.
"I will have the Cesar salad and some water please," you say with a smile.
"Yes, yes, of course," he says, quickly writing it down.
The waiter seemed to like you and couldn't keep his eyes off you.
"I will have the steak with the salad and water please," Ethan says.
The waiter is still distracted looking at you and doesn't pay much attention to him.
"Excuse me," Ethan says, a bit annoyed.
"Right away sir."
The waiter walks away and gives you a flirty look.
Ethan notices and his whole body tenses up.
You decide to ignore it and not focus much on it.
Ethan, on the other hand, was furious. Nobody should flirt with his girlfriend right in front of him. He kept quiet not wanting to start a fight here and made conversation with you.
After a while your food was ready and the waiter came back.
He had a grin plastered on his face as he served your food.
"I hope you enjoy your food," he says, giving you a wink.
You ignore it and begin to eat.
Ethan notices and bursts out of anger.
"You're seriously not going to tell him anything," he says, raising his voice.
"What are you talking about," you defend.
"HE IS FLIRTING WITH YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE AND YOU DON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT!" he says louder than before.
"Ethan calm down," you say as calmly as possible trying not to make a scene.
"CALM DOWN, HUH" he scoffs, getting up from his seat.
Almost everyone is looking at you two. Staring and silently judging what was happening. The waiter looks at you with concern and is debating whether to come and say something.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M NOT DOING THIS!" you say getting up.
"OH NOW YOU'RE SAYING SOMETHING!" he rudely replies.
"YOU KNOW WHAT?! WHENEVER YOUR JEALOUS BOYFRIEND ACT IS OVER PLEASE TELL ME BECAUSE I'M NOT DEALING WITH THIS RIGHT NOW." you say as you start to walk away.
"I'M NOT JEALOUS!" he screams behind you.
You ignore him and continue to walk away.
Ethan takes a seat once again and stares at his plate as he has now lost his appetite.
He sits there feeling guilty of the scene he just made and regrets raising his voice at you.
Lately, he has been feeling like a crappy boyfriend since he rarely spent time with you and couldn't separate himself from his work long enough to share a nice dinner.
He decided to take the food to go and left the restaurant.
He drove home to the house you both shared and walked inputting the food down on the kitchen table.
"(Y/n)!" he called but there was no answer.
He walked up to the room you two shared and saw that the bed was still well made. He looked around the house and didn't find you.
He called your phone but it sent him straight to voicemail.
He texted you but no response.
Ethan: Hey where are you I'm getting worried call me
Ethan:(y/n) I'm sorry I didn't mean to act that way just answer me, please
He waited and waited until he finally fell asleep on the couch.
Meanwhile, after you left the restaurant in an Uber, you found yourself at an old friend's house that Ethan didn't know of.
"Thank you, Emily. I just didn't want to see him"
"No problem. I will leave you these comfy clothes and if you need anything I'm just across the hallway"
She walks out and you decide to change out. You turn off your phone and decide to sleep.
-
The next day you wake up later than usual since you couldn't really sleep.
Thinking of what happened yesterday kept you wide awake.
Your friend drove you back home and to be honest, you weren't ready to face him.
You take your key out and unlock the door. You walk in and notice Ethan waking up.
He was laying on the couch and his eyes looked red with big eye bags underneath them.
He quickly got up and walked over to you and hugged you.
"I'm so sorry I didn't mean it," he whispers.
You don't bother hugging him back or say anything.
"What's wrong?" he asks, letting go of you.
"I can't do this anymore," you say with your voice cracking.
"Yes, you can. We only had a small fight and we can fix this. I promise I will spend more time with you," he pleads.
"I wish it was that simple but it's too much for me and I'm fed up with it"
"I promise we can fix this, just give me one more chance," he says, holding your hand in his, looking straight into your eyes.
"Please," he says softly.
"One last chance."
