Damien--------------------------------------------Alexia-------------------------------------------Jake
February 2003JakeValentine’s Day. What a stupid day.
The man sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He dug his hand into his pocket, and dragged it out. He clicked the middle button with his thumb with a small hope that he would receive a text from her, but to no avail. He stared at it for a few more minutes, transfixed, as if he could direct a text to his phone with his mind.
He eventually gave up and put the phone back into his pocket.
"Jake?"
He looked up and saw a young woman walk towards him. He stood up, and put an arm around her as he kissed her cheek.
"Hi Emma" he said in her ear, before pulling out her chair for her to sit down. Sitting back down himself, he put his elbows on the table and leaned forwards across the table. The young woman had long brown hair, and a pixie like face. She was very pretty, he thought to himself half-heartedly.
"How have you been?" he asked her, his intense golden eyes locked on her hazel ones.
Before she could reply, the waiter came between them and asked for their order. The restaurant they were in was dark, lit by candles with roses on each table. As Emma ordered her meal, Jake felt a shiver run up his spine as the door opened and let in a cold breeze. He turned his head slightly to look over Emma's shoulder, to feel his heart drop.
It was Alexia and Damien. They were still together? He hadn't spoken to Alexia in nearly half a year, since she and Damien officially became a couple.
His eyes followed them as they moved to a table that was annoyingly in his line of sight. Alexia was looking fantastic as usual, her blonde hair was cut so it suited her face, and she wore a backless navy blue dress that, once again, showed off her long tanned legs. From what Jake could see, Damien was wearing a black shirt and jeans. The top button was undone on his shirt, which showed the top of his tanned chest. Jake wrinkled up his nose slightly, and looked back at Emma who was talking to him.
He nodded, and said, "I know right?" so that she would continue talking and he would pick up the conversation.
Their meal arrived, and the two of them looked down at their food and started to eat. Jake found his eyes wondering back to Alexia. He watched how her eyes sparkled when Damien was talking, how her face broke into a smile, how the candle light enhanced her already flawless features. She was so beautiful.
He looked down again and stuffed another forkful of food into his mouth, and looked back at the couple. They were holding hands now. Jake suddenly felt sick, and jerked his head back towards his food. A few minutes later, he looked up again. What was this? Damien was sitting next to her. Jerk had obviously shuffled his chair around to get closer to her. Now Jake could see the way he was looking at her. He still had a hungry glint in his eye that Jake hated. Jake noticed that their legs were touching, that man's arm around Alexia's shoulder. Oh god, she was looking at his lips. She wanted to kiss him.
Oh how Jake longed for her to look at him that way. His vision blurred as he thought of being in Damien’s place, him and Alexia alone, their legs touching, intimate.
He came back to a harsh reality as he found that he was stared at Alexia and Damien, who were know kissing. Jake's mouth fell open with shock. Upset, he found that he couldn't move his eyes away from her. Her soft delicate hand was on that man's undeserving chest, her body pressed up against his.
Jake's head began to spin. His mouth felt dry.
He stood up suddenly, knocking into the table and knocking over his wine glass. The sound of glass shattering sent the restaurant into silence, and all eyes turned to him, including Alexia's. He noticed her expression change as she saw him, but he looked away from her.
"I'm leaving Emma" he said roughly, picking up his jacket and storming out of the silenced restaurant, all eyes on him, leaving a tearful and shocked Emma behind, and a frowning Alexia wrapped in Damien's arms.
