💐 Rose Hart – Feb. 14, 2015

   “You know, the obsession starts off with staring,” Theo comments as he stands beside me, arms crossed, I could feel him looking at me. I didn’t meet his gaze, instead I watched as Louis ate the meal I just served him – grilled chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes –, the meal that made him reveal the smile I haven’t seen. God, it was gorgeous. And sure, it didn’t quite meet his eyes to make them crinkle but I don’t think I was mentally prepared for that anyways.

   I don’t know why I was suddenly acting like a school girl with a crush on the high school’s jock, but it felt nice. I haven’t had this feeling since I first met Theo, which of course changed immediately the moment I realized that he was not my kind of boy-material, the bottom line was that I hadn’t been so mesmerized by someone in quite a while.

   “Then you should tell yourself that because seems to me like you’re growing an obsession right now,” I tell him jokingly, not tearing my eyes off of Louis. That is until Jenna, a chef, called out that one of my orders was ready.

     “I won’t deny that,” he teases, patting my back as I pass him. Shaking my head, I serve the food before going back to where I previously stood, this time, Theo was out serving his tables so I was alone to just watch Louis.

     He sips his water before checking his phone once more, obviously waiting for some sign that the stupid slut is going to show up or not. Pushing his plate away, he stares out the window. And he stays like that until the restaurant is almost empty, merely a few minutes from closing.

     As I wiped down table six, Theo nudges me with the broom in his hands. When I look up to him with an irritated gaze, he gestures to table seven – where Louis still sat. “Go talk to him, I’ll finish up.”

     “You want me, the love of your life, to talk to some other man?” I gasp, only to receive his infamous smirk.

     “You wish you were the love of my life,” he says before patting my cheek. “Now go before I change my mind, or before Sam comes out and lectures us.”

     I gave Theo a grateful smile before turning around and walking to Louis’ table, his hands were in fists when I approached. His face was still puffy and red, his hair no different than a few hours ago and an impassive facial expression. If he noticed that I was standing there, he showed no sign of it.

     “I should’ve figured she wouldn’t come,” he mutters bitterly before looking away from the window to meet my gaze. I bet his eyes would be more beautiful if they weren’t blood shot. “I’m not good enough for her, that’s why she cheated, that’s why she didn’t show up. To think that I believed I could fix things with this dinner... I’m such a f*cking loser.”

     “Hey, that’s not true,” I tell him as I take the seat across from him, the one that was meant for probably the worst human being on this planet.

     I may not know Louis personally, but I know enough to know that he’s not a loser. I mean, despite this girl cheating on him he wanted to mend things by having this romantic dinner on Valentine’s – that screams ‘good guy’ to me. And the way he’s so torn up about it, it stirs something inside of me. I’ve never seen a guy cry – unless you count Theo who cried when a little girl threw mash potatoes into his hair last week – before and honestly, it’s so heartbreaking to see.

     “You seem like a great guy,” I tell him, offering a smile. He merely sniffs, and looks down to his lap. “If it makes you feel any better, despite looking like sh*t you’re still pretty hot.”

     Louis laughs, genuinely – the sound makes my smile widen. “Were you sent here to make me feel better, Cupid?”

     “I guess I was.”

💘 💘 💘
