FALLIN'

[7] Coffee dates & heartbreaks

*Peter's POV*

Ann's birthday is around the corner. 8days to go!

Tomorrow I'm going to make her some Spaghetti with meat balls. It's one of her favourites after all.

I can only imagine her ear to ear smile on seeing meatballs. I'm glad we sorted things. Life without my fatty patty is beyond imagination.

I've loved her for so many years now, I've lost count. Everytime I think about letting her know, the fear of losing her stops me.

But I can't lose her to any other man either.

I don't want to remember how it felt when she dated Zack back in our college days. Everytime that jackass kissed my Ann, I wanted to kick his ass.

That guy was a trash. Playing the nice dude infront of her, but kept grinding random girls.

Zack literally f*cked anything that moved. I hate that ass*ole to my core.

I kept warning Ann many times about him, but she never took my advice.

The day she found out about him, she was devastated. He put her through hell.

I won't let the same thing happen again. I won't let this new guy just randomly barge in-between us! I won't let anybody else hurt her or take her away from me.

I know I can keep her happy!

*Annie's POV*

*ting*~phone beeps

I looked at my phone screen displaying- 'You received a message'

Jin: Hi

Annie: Hey

Jin: U still up for the coffee?

Annie: Yeah

Jin: So, see you tomorrow?

Annie: Yeah. At 5?

Jin: Yes. So, I'll pick you up?

Annie: Okay

Jin: Your address?

Annie: Oh. I'll share my location!

Annie:

Jin: Thanks. See you soon..

*Next day, 4pm*

'What should I wear?'

I LITERALLY have NOTHING to wear!'

After shuffling through my closet for quite some time, I chose to wear a white A-line dress & a denim jacket to pair with it.

I wore my dress & put on bare minimum make up. As the final touch, I lightly dabbed my red lipstick on my lips. I didn't wanna give him the impression that I wasted a hell lot of time thinking what to wear & how to look.

'Guess that'll be it. I'm ready'

I walked upto the Cheval glass to take a look at myself.

'......ok! Not so bad Annie.'

*ring ring*

It was Jin calling...

"Hello?"

"Hey, you ready?"

"Yeah.. "

"I am waiting outside your house"

"Coming in 5mins"

"Okay"

*call disconnected*

I looked at the mirror one last time before leaving.

'Calm down. Act cool. Don't act like a teenager. You're a surgeon. Act like one.'

I grabbed my purse along with my mobile phone & left.

*Third person's POV*

Jin was waiting for Annie, leaning on his car.

After waiting for sometime, he heard the front door close & looked up.

Annie walked down her porch in a white dress which reached her mid thighs. It was windy outside. The wind blew through her hair. She elegantly plucked them behind her ears. She looked at Jin & smiled.

He could not take his eyes off her. Jin was totally smitten by Annie's beauty.

Annie: Hi

Jin: Wow.

Annie: uh?

Jin: You... you look great!

Annie: Thanks. *pointing at the car* Shall we?

Jin: Yeah. Wait a min.

Jin ran upto the other side of the car to open the door for her.

Annie almost blushed at the gesture.

She sat in the passenger seat while Jin got into car.

Jin: To Patrick's?

Annie: To Patrick's!

Jin: Let's go..

With that, Jin drove off to their destination for the evening.

*Peter's POV*

I packed the food in separate boxes for spaghetti & meat balls respectively.

I just left the house & saw a car standing near Ann's house.

As I walked closer, I saw the man Ann has been talking about.

'What is he doing here? Is he here for Ann? Is he stalking her now?'

I was about to walk up to him & ask what was he doing here, when suddenly Ann came out of her house.

She was looking like an angel.

'How can someone be so beautiful yet simple?'

It's been a long time she dressed up like this.

I was enchanted by her beauty.

'Her eyes, her lips, her smile... wait smile?

Who is she smiling at?'

I traced her eyes. She was looking at him & smiling. That man. Is he going to stea... no! NO! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN THIS TIME.

But just when I was able to walk upto them, Ann sat in his car & he drove away with my angel.

'Damn, Peter! You're such a coward. It's been 22 f*cking years & you don't have the guts to confess your feelings? All you do is watch her going away with other men'

My heart sank at the thought that Ann was my best friend but she never understood my feelings for her.

I silently walked into my house.

'What will I do with the meat balls now?'

I don't like them. I only have them cause she likes them.

'I know where they belong'

'Trash can'
