finding happiness
Author: lory
Yuna and her best friend are busy picking out a dress because Today is Yuna's anniversary, they've been together for three years now and she was really excited because Jack, her fiance is taking her to her favorite restaurant to have dinner, but that wasn't the only reason why she was excited, she was happy because it's been a long time since she’s been on a date or even went out with her fiance because he's been really busy with work but what could she do he does have to work, it’s not his fault, but sometimes she wish he could spend sometime with for for once
“What do you think lola, how dose this one look and before you answer please say yes, I've tried on soo much dress I've lost count ”
“ You look great! Jack is going to be so surprised when he sees you tonight…if I was a man I would date you"
“Haha! Thanks lola, but are you sure this isn't too much? I mean you can almost see my melons. Don't I need to put something over my dress like a jacket?”
“No, that's the whole point of wearing this dress, when Jack sees you tonight he will regret every leaving you alone for soo many nights at home”
“Lola, you know it's not his fault”
But she is right, even though he's busy. I wish he would make time for me…the only times I get to see him is when he video calls me or when he comes home late at nights and even then he still get calls to come back in for work, sometimes I feel like I'm engaged to myself
“Yeah, I know, you tell me that all the time…okay enough talking, why isn't he here yet isn't he supposed to come pick you up by now?”
“Oh, no, he said I should just meet him at the restaurant”
“What?! It's your anniversary and he couldn't even pick you up?! That jerk!!”
“Lola, it's fine, no need to get angry, he said he has something to finish up and I should wait on him at the restaurant instead of going to the office and waiting on him"
“You know Yuna, I don't know how you up up with a jerk like that. If this is what begin in love dose to a person I never want to fall in love"
“Haha! Your only saying that now, you'll understand when you find someone you love"
“Never going to happened…now go on and enjoy your date"
“I will, and thanks for helping me pick out a dress"
“Don't mention it, what are friends for besides it wasn't for nothing a got a new dress in the process…see"
“When did you? Hahahaha! Never mind…I'm going now, you can lock up after you leave…bye!!”
“Enjoy your date!!”
Tap, tap, tap
Yuna tapped the top of the table with her finger looking around, she had been sitting at the table for one hour now and there was no sign of Jack, looking around at the other couples around her having a good time, she wondered if she should stay and wait a little longer or to leave
Half an hour later, Yuna decided to call her fiance to see what was taking him soo long to reach the restaurant, after calling two times with no answer she called again for the third time and got an answer
“Jack Where are you? What's taking you so long? Do you know how long I've been here waiting for you?!”
“Oh, Yuna, am soo sorry, I totally forgot, why don't we reschedule? I can't leave work now”
“Wait, what?!! What do you mean you forget?!”
“Sorry, Yuna, I'm about to meet a client now. I have to go…bye! See you when I get home, enjoy you meal!”
Haha! What was I even expecting, he even had the nerve to tell me to enjoy my meal… dosen't he even remember that today is our three year anniversary?! Lola was right what I'm I doing with someone that treats me like this…sob…sob…
“May I offer you my, handkerchief?!”
Wiping her tears, Yuna looked up to find a tall handsome man, with black hair and beautiful green eyes, with a smile on his face…he was so handsome that Yuna couldn't look away. It took all that she had to answer the stranger
“Th-thank you"
“Your welcome”
“Who…who are you?”
“Sorry for the intrusion my name, is Lucas…and your name is?”
“Yuna"
“Yuna? Beautiful name, nice to meet you Yuna"
“Nice to meet you too, Lucas"
“May I sit?”
“S-sure”
“Thank you, if you didn't mind, may I ask why your crying?”
“Oh, um…uh…because of my fiance he was supposed to meet me here for our three year anniversary but he didn't show up"
“Wow! What a jerk! No offense “
“None taken"
“So, why are you still with a guy like that? Why not find someone else that can treat you better? Someone who loves you?”
“Because, I love him"
“But does he still loves you?”
“He….he…”
“It's fine you don't have to answer that, why don't we chang the subject?”
“Aren't you here with someone? I bet there're wondering where you went off to"
“I'm here alone”
“Alone at a couple's only restaurant? What? did you get stood up too?”
“No, I'm single”
“Than do you work here or something?”
“Kind, of…It's my restaurant”
“Really?”
“Yeah, what don't believe me?”
“Its not that I don't believe you, you just look a little-“
“Young?”
“Yeah”
“I get that a lot, but it's my restaurant….and if I may add you don't look old enough to be engaged?”
“Hey! For your information I'm 24 years old I'm old enough!”
“Same age as me, so we are both old enough to do what we want"
“Haha! Yeah, anyway That's amazing! Running a restaurant like this at such a young age…This is my favorite restaurant by the way”
“Haha! Glad to hear that"
Yuna ended up spending the rest of the night with Lucas talking and getting to know each other, but for some reason she couldn't shake the feeling that Lucas looked like someone she knew a long time ago....and for the first time in a long time Yuna felt loved…..after leaving the restaurant Yuna head home with a smile on her face and Lucas's number, but no one could prepare her for what was waiting for her in her apartment
*click*
“Oh, Jack, what are you doing here? I thought you were still busy at the office?”
“Yuna, I need to talk to you about something important ”
“You’re here too, Emma? What brings you here?”
“Please Honey sit down, this is serious ”
“Why? What's going on?”
“Yuna, I'm…I'm sorry but I don't think this is going to work out"
“Wh-what do you mean?”
“I'm breaking up with you!”
“What?!”
“I've been in a relationship with Emma for a year now, and I love her…I've decided to break off the engagement with you and marry Emma instead”
“What?! Are you kidding me right now?! You abandoned me at the restaurant on our anniversary and now your telling me that you've been having an affair with your assistant for a year?! And you decided to tell me all this on our anniversary of all day?! You jerk! You really are a piece of shit!!...get out!!”
“Yuna, let's talk about this"
“I said get the hell out!!!”
After Jack left Yuna picked up her phone and called her bestfriend Lola to come over and explain everything to her
“I can't believe he did that to you!! And on your anniversary too! I'm good to kick both of their ass when I see them! I told you that idiot wasn't any good for you, why didn't you listen to me?! Now you’re here crying because of him!”
“Sob…sob..”
“Please stop crying, Yuna you know I hate when you cry…come here…shh, shh, it's fine, I won't let anyone hurt you like this again…now stop crying I'm here"
But no matter how hard Lola tried to calm her down, she would not stop crying the tears just kept on coming…she cryed so much that she fell asleep in her bestfriend arms
The next day Yuna woke up with a ring from her call phone. Ignoring the call she turned to see that her bestfriend was not beside her anymore on the bed
“Look who is finally up, want breakfast?”
“Sure"
“How are you feeling today?”
“You know what I feel great!”
“You…you do?
“Yeah, I've decided I won't waste my tears on a jerk like Jack…he dosen't deserve someone like me!”
“That's right!!”
“Hahahaha”(both)
*ring, ring*
“Who is that? They've called a few times while you were sleeping”
“Lucas"
“Who?”
“A guy I meet at the restaurant when Jack stood me up"
“You didn't tell me about this part, so is he hot?!”
“Lola!”
“Come on, give me the details”
“…he is hot, and yes we had a great night…but he's not just hot, he's kind, sweet, gentle and a good listener. He was wonderful!”
“Then why don't you date him? He is single right?”
“He is, but I can't date him"
“Why not?!”
“I just got out of relationship, I need time"
“I know that but you can hardly call that a relationship, you deserve to be happy and I can tell by the look on you face you like this guy…I haven't seen you smile like that for a long time"
“I…I…”
*ring, ring*
“Go on answer!”
“H-hello?”
“Good, you finally answered..I thought something might have happened to you, on your way home…I've been calling you but didn't get an answer”
“I'm fine, thanks for checking on me. I was tired last night I guess I slept through your calls”
“It's fine, I'm just glad your okay…I…um…I know this is a bit sudden and you don't have to say yes, since you have a boyfriend already but would you like to have dinner with me this Saturday…we can go as just friends”
“….sure, I would love to have dinner with you, and by the why I'm single now"
“What? What happened?!”
“I'll explain Saturday, see you"
“Okay, until then"
“So what did he say?”
“We are having dinner this Saturday”
“No way! For real?! I'm so proud of you!”
“Thanks! are you sure this is the right thing to do?"
"How do you feel when your with him?"
"I feel great, I feel happy...I feel loved for the first time in a long time"
"Then you have your answer"
"I don't know what I'll do without you Lola thanks, for everything"
"Your welcome"
"Hahahaha"(both)
Saturday
Yuna waited outside her apartment building for Lucas to arrive and when he stepped out of the car and she lead eyes on him, her heart was beating so fast you could've heard it if you were standing next to her
"Hey!"
"Hi, you look beautiful!"
"Thanks, y-you look handsome too"
"Haha! thanks, shall we go?"
"Wait! before you kid go on you little date, let me tell you something, mister handsome. don't you dear break her heart cause if you do your going to have to deal with me...got that?!!"
"Lola!!"
"Haha! it's fine, Yuna..Sure, I hear you...don't worry I won't break her heart"
"Okay, if you understand you two kids can go now...go enjoy your date"
"Thank you for your permission general Lola"
"Ha! ha! real funny, mister handsome"
"can we go now Lola?!"
"Yeah"
that night Yuna and Lucas had a great night...and not only that Lucas told her that he had a crush on her back in high school for a long time but he was shy back then to confess to her, so when he saw her at the restaurant he thought it would be a great time to tell her but, then he realized that she was engaged so he didn't tell her
they went on many, many more dates after that and started dating, now they are happily married with two kids a boy and a girl
and Lola did fall in love and is also married and have a child of her own...as for Jack and Emma their marriage didn't last long because Emma cheated on Jack and left him for a rich man, up until this day Jack still regrets the day he broke up with Yuna
