Reader who finds out plug Simon very much has a girlfriend and has the sinking pit in her stomach Simon is just playing her like a fiddle for her money
Ohhhh this hurts sooooo good give it to me I can take it
c/w: mentions of weed
your friend off-handedly mentioning that they’re always at the local pub together every friday with a few of simon’s mates. the potential of him being taken shouldn’t burn but it does, especially when you thought he was beginning to show interest in you
and sure enough, you find them both there together. you watch them for a while before he finally spots you. watch the way she hangs off his arm in a way you’d be too nervous to do, and the way she whispers in his ear before he pulls out his wallet to hand her some cash for their next round
he only sees the back of your head darting out the door but he knows it was you, and he knows it’s all fucked up, that he’s scared you off proper now
he doesn’t hear from you for a while which confirms his suspicions that you’re upset, even when he goes out his comfort zone to reach out to you first. something he’s never found himself doing with another customer
need anything tonight luv?
got some more of that stuff you liked delivered. put some aside for ya, bird
running low?
if it’s really late, you won’t respond at all. if it’s earlier, you’ll give a polite ‘no thank you :)’ response. after two weeks of you brushing him off with the same three words, you finally give him a different response when he offers another drop off at 2AM
that’s okay, I actually got a new guy whose closer so you don’t have to burden yourself coming to me anymore :) thank you tho!
