𖥻 ׁ ׅ Ghost ✦ Breakup!

Months had passed since he'd last seen you. He'd told himself over and over that he was over you, that you were free to live your life, and that he would move on with his too. However, all that effort crumbled when he walked into the restaurant and found you sitting across from another man.

You were smiling, and he was listening attentively. The conversation flowed naturally, and Simon felt a pit in his stomach followed by an absurd rage. He had no right to demand anything from you, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

When he saw you get up to go to the bathroom, he stood up almost immediately and followed you. You came out minutes later and were surprised to see him standing in front of you.

"What are you doing here, Simon? " He didn't answer. He looked you up and down and then let out a bitter laugh. " So you've already replaced me? "" Don't start. " "Don't start? "* —He took a step forward—. I see you with another man and you expect me to smile? At this point, your back was already against the bathroom wall. Simon was standing in front of you, his large frame radiating heat. " We broke up months ago. " —you said, tilting your head to look at him—. You have no right to demand anything from me. I knew you were right. But there were truths that didn't soothe the pain, much less one as deep as the one I felt. " I'm not going to demand anything from you. If you want to go out with him, do it. If you want to fall in love, go ahead. If he turns out to be the man of your life, then I'll have no choice but to put up with it and accept it. " You frowned, confused . "So what do you want? "Simon moved a little closer. His hands itched to touch you, to hold you. He resisted the impulse and instead placed them on either side of your head against the cold tile of the wall. " Don't kiss him the way you kissed me. Don't look at him the same way, don't hug him the same way. Because the day you try to love him the way you loved me, you'll compare us. " —his fingers brushed your cheek—. *And when that happens, you'll realize that he's not the one you're looking for.
