Bob grabbed his keys from his back pocket and tried to unlock the restaurant door. Linda stood behind him waiting patiently as Bob struggled. " Stupid thing..." Bob muttered under his breath, Linda rolled her eyes with a smile. Upbeat music caught her attention as she turned to look over her shoulder, Jimmy pesto in her view. He was setting an order down while boring eyes into what looked like Bob. Linda raised a brow as she watched Jimmy rush away once he noticed her staring. Linda looked back at Bob, " you two are still obsessed over each other? I thought this whole rival thing started to slow down after the party?" Linda stated with her hands set on her hips. The door finally popped open and a goofy smile spread to Bob's lips until he recalled what Linda was going on about, " what? " he asked confused looking toward her. Linda sighed, " Jimmy he was staring at you " Bob's brows raised, " wait really? Just now? " Linda nodded, " yes just now! he couldn't get his eyes off you"
Bob's cheeks reddened,
" o-oh um he was probably just thinking about how uh stupid I am or something " Linda nodded, " maybe but he didn't look mad it was almost like he was oogling ya " Bob flinched,
" r-really? " he asked looking back over to Jimmy pestos trying to find him. Linda shrugged, " it was probably just my imagination, " she said looking towards Bob who seemed to be lost in thought. " Bob? " no response, " Bob? Hello? " Linda said waving a hand in front of his face. Bob blinked a few times swallowing harshly.
" jeez get a room you two " Linda joked as she entered the restaurant with a chuckle. " wait! That's not!-" Bob shouted following Linda inside.

Jimmy was hidden behind a blind spot in his restaurant, out of Lindas view. He glanced back over the wall to see Bob following Linda inside their restaurant. Jimmy sighed thankfully. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, he couldn't believe he had a slip up especially in front of Linda. He hoped that she didn't think much of it as he went to a nearby table to take a customer's order.

Trev watched Jimmy struggle to hide away from Bob and Linda. He couldn't help but notice all the glances Jimmy and Bob exchanged the last few days. It made his chest ache. Trev looked down at the glass, he was scrubbing with a frown. He couldn't stop thinking about the fight he and Jimmy had. now Jimmy would barely talk or look at him aside from ordering him around. after all, he was just his employee, right? But...he wanted to be more! he wanted to be his friend that he could talk to, he also wanted to be the person that held him at night and comforted him when he was sad but instead of him all he could see was Bob filling those places! Trev's bottom lips quivered, he didn't want that, that was the last thing he wanted. He thought squeezing the glass in his grip. Bob didn't deserve that role, all he's done is treat Jimmy like shit why should they be together? It was just a disaster waiting to happen. Trev mused thinking about all the fights and breakups they would have which made a smile form back on his lips.
" on it! Your order will be here shortly "
An optimistic voice brought Trev out of his thoughts as he watched Jimmy walk past him glancing his way. Trev's mouth went dry, panic rushed through him as he burst,
" W-wait Jimmy! "
Jimmy stopped in his tracks turning around to look at Trev with cold eyes. Trev flinched at the look, " what is it Trev? I have to give this order to the chef " Jimmy said with an annoyed tone. Trev gulped, " right! Well, I'll-l just want to say...I'm uh sorry for the way I acted the other day...it was uncalled for " Jimmy blinked surprised by this, " oh well... it's okay-Trev I'm uh sorry too " Jimmy said muttering the last part making Trev smile. Jimmy looked away scratching the back of his neck awkwardly, " hey...My kids are in this play tonight it's probably going to be well a bit boring so.." Trev jumped with excitement, " yes! " Jimmy raised a brow, " I didn't even finish my sentence-" he said before chuckling, " ill let you leave to Change your clothes later, apparently this is a formal event " Jimmy finished rolling his eyes, he didn't see the point in dressing up for a stupid play. Trev giggled, " right so it's tonight I assume? " Jimmy nodded, " yeah ill see ya then" he finished before turning his heel and leaving toward the kitchen. Trev watched with the widest grin, I can't believe that went so smoothly! and he even asked me to join him with something! will this be considered our first date? He thought feeling giddy.
