ivy.:
it was HUMILIATING. she had been waiting at the cafe for almost an hour for her date. why was it that she always got stood up like this ? she was too hopeful to think that her ex boyfriend DID NOT have something to do with it. she still saw the good despite what her head was telling her about him.Β
with a heavy sigh , ivy wiped the tears from her eyes. everyone was staring already. poor ivy. she got stood up again. ( and she really liked the guy ! ) she stood up and grabbed her bag and turned to leave the cafe before she saw someone she recognized.Β
she turned on her heel and suddenly she was centimeters from mikhail volkov and close enough to feel his breath on her face. she was definitely flustered.Β

For once in his life- Mikhail Volkov was not solely responsible for the events that had led to this moment. Meaning, he wasnβt responsible for the downfall of Ivyβs date, in fact he hadnβt even been aware that she was going on a date. If he hadnβt overheard some one talking about it in the locker room, there was a chance he never would have known.Β
But when he had learned of her dateβs plan for the evening heβd been overcome by a feeling that he couldnβt quite describe. He felt angry, but more than that he felt bad. Heβd done his fair share of awful things to Ivy- correction heβd put her through hell. But he had never, never gone as far as standing her up.Β
No one deserved that level of humiliation. And that was why he found himself waiting outside of the cafe. Heβd thought about going in- trying to play it off as if heβd been running late, but he knew she wouldnβt want to see him.Β
And then he saw her going to leave- and he decided it was time to act. But he hadnβt meant to come face to face, and when they did- he forgot how to act, how to breath.Β βSorry Iβm late,β he managed to stammer, blinking a few times as he tried to regain his composure.Β βCome on- iβll make it up to you,β he added, slipping back into his normal level of comfort as he reached out to grab her arm in an attempt to lead her outside.Β
