THEOS POV -local cafe-
—————————————
this man eats like a pig.
he shoved the whole panini in his face.
barely even chewing it.
not going to lie i was looking some at least.
"so what's up?" milo says while spitting out crumbs of food, "why the sudden meet-up?"he questions
i take a deep breath, "we're breaking up." i stare at him, coldly.
"what? what? what??!" he takes a minute to process the words that came out of my mouth. "you have the audacity to drag me the whole way out here, for me to buy you coffee, for you to go and break up with me?! you BITCH." he screams in my face, scrunching his nose up.
"i said what i said milo." i collect my coat, "you've been treating me like your kid, and this is the fifth time i've smelt women's perfume off of you this week." i stand up "and frankly i've had enough of it, goodbye." i start walking toward the exit.
"YOU WHORE." he shouts at me.
the cafe goes silent.
and i take my leave.
as horrible as a man he is, that was incredibly hard to do.
ive known him for years, he's been through thick and thin with me.
helped me pass heartbreak, and loss.
he was important to me.
until of last month.
and there was no point in me attaching myself to someone toxic, who doesn't love me back.
he'd lost interest, fell for someone else.
but that's love, it blossoms, and then dries up.
it fizzles away to nothing.
my love for milo has fizzled away.
but blossomed for another.
salty streams of water fall from my face.
i rush through the rain.
passing my way through the crowds.
my passing soon turns into a run.
and i dash down the streets.
JAXS POV
——————
my heart shattered in my hands.
i tried.
i tried to compose myself.
that, that bastard has the audacity to touch what's mine.
aggravated i throw a book, with much force across the foyer.
i hear footsteps and my manager appears in front of me.
"you'd better compose yourself boy, i can't have you all worked up in here." he stares me down.
"sorry, alfie, i never meant to do that." apologetically i speak.
"look, just get it cleared up 'kay? ill be in the office if you need me!" he wanders off again.
alfie's my manager, i work in the local library a few minutes walk from the university. he's extremely kind to all his employees, but when you get on his bad books you'd better watch yourself.
ive been working here about a year now, so i know the locals and all the regulars.
i found out about the university and thought it would've been perfect. so i enrolled myself under father's permission.
i run myself over to the thrown book.
luckily it was alright.
i picked it up and put it back into it's place.
i feel a lot calmer now.
i scurry over to the front desk, and begin stamping books.
it's raining really heavily outside.
it's quite depressing.
*clang* *clang* *ding*
i hear the door open and lift my head up to see..
"theo?!" i say surprised.
theo coughs, he's soaking wet.
he's going to catch a cold.
i place my hand on the counter and flip my legs over until they hit the ground on the other side.
i rush up to him and pick up the stuff from his hands.
i set them i top of the desk and take my own hoodie off.
i hand it over to him.
"change into that, and maybe use the hand dryers in the bathroom for your hair" i chuckle.
"yeah yeah very funny." he says, taking off his own hoodie, and laying it in the floor with a squelch.
he places mine on and looks at me.
"you work here?"
"yes, but that's not important." i give him a stern look. "who's that guy you were kissing earlier?" i start to get angry again but compose myself.
theo looks taken back, "he's uh my boyfriend-" he cuts himself off, "-ex boyfriend."
"oh uh i never knew you were gay.." i smile happy to know he's now single and gay.
"you too.." he glares at me, "you've been getting real close with that diego."
"i- uh no, no what diego's just a friend, i don't like him! i mean i like him as a friend but nothing more! i swe-"
theo grabs my shirt pulling me down.
he stands on the tip of his toes.
and reaches up.
i hold his eye contact.
* as our lips meet. *
the kiss sent shivers down my back.
i fall forward.
landing on the ground.
theo below me.
i look down on him and kiss him yet again.
it felt like a dream.
making out in the floor of a library full of old people.
i was savouring every last moment.
"jax?!"
i turn my head around, still in the ground and on top on theo.
alfie looks at me.
"what are you doing?" i could tell he was trying not to laugh.
theo beneath me giggles,
"busted."
