🖤Hugo's POV🖤
We got to the cafe and Sophia was about to open the door. I stopped her and she gave me a confused look. I got out of the car and ran over to her side of the car and opened the door for her.
"What a gentleman," she said while giggling.
Man I love her giggles!
I gave her a smile and took her hand. We walked to the door of the cafe and I opened it for her and we waited to be sat down.
Once we were next in line, the host showed us to our table and it was near a stage. We sat down and I obviously pulled out Sophia's chair for her.
We looked at the menu and decided that we were both going to get a hamburger with fries.
After we decided on what we were going to get, we started talking about everything that has happened in the year we have been apart.
5 minutes later the waiter came to take our orders, but I did not miss the way he kept giving Sophia heart eyes. But Sophia being the innocent being that she is, did not see it. She can be very oblivious at times especially when it comes to me trying to flirt and express my feelings for her.
When the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, he put his hand on top of Sophia's and I lost it. I pushed his hand off of Sophia's and punched him.
"I would like a new fucking waiter!" I yelled.
The manager came and took him away and said sorry on the waiter's behalf. Now you are probably thinking, "Why am I not getting kicked out for punching one of there employees?" Well that is because I'm a CEO of a big corporation. So they almost always do as I say.
We got a new waiter and he seemed a lot more professional. Thank God!
We ordered our food and drinks (which were 2 Dr. Peppers) and the waiter left to go give our order to the chefs. Once he left, we continued our previous conversation.
The waiter came back 10 min later with our orders. We thanked him and started eating. It was surprisingly really good.
We continued talking and laughing when someone started walking on stage. He grabbed a microphone and said...
"The band that was supposed to play today couldn't make it so instead we are going to have people come up and sing if they want to and we have instruments if you need them"the guy said.
Some of the people started cheering and got up to ask the guy if they could get instruments as they went backstage. I looked back at Sophia to see her look back at me and excitedly swat at my hands.
"Hu we should do it! We could play the song that we sang together in high school and we could grab guitars from backstage. Pleaseeee!"she said while giving me the puppy eyes and she looked adorable.
Damn those fucking puppy eyes!!!!
I really wanted to say no but I had a cuteness overload. What the fuck am I saying?!
"Fine! Just stop with the fucking puppy eyes. You are too cute for your own good."I said.
"Yay!"Sophia exclaimed. She grabbed my hand and dragged me to get the guitars and tune them. By the time we were done tuning them it was our turn to go on. There were 2 stools on the stage near the microphones so we sat down on those. We gave each other a reassuring glance and were ready to play.
*(Italic-Sophia; Bold-Hugo; Underline-both; Song is at the top)*
"3,4" I whispered then we started playing.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I met somebody, selfless and kind
She's got a smile even when she isn't fine
She can be hurting, but she's got enough love to fill up Tennessee
I met somebody, stays up at night
I see her worry and she sees all of mine
I met somebody, she really loves me, says I'm all she needs
And I
Grew up thinking I would have to
Fight all of this alone
But now you hold me in the darkness
Hold me 'til it hurts less, you
Tell me that I'm alright
Show me where the light shines through
Please, stay, love me through the weather
Please,say this will be forever
Hold me in the darkness
Even when it's hard with you
It's a little bit, little bit better
I met somebody, gentle and smart
He underestimates the size of his heart
He can be laughing, but he's got enough pain to fill up New York City
I met somebody so full of scars
The world's on his shoulders, but he won't fall apart
I met somebody, he really loves me, says I'm all he needs
And I
Grew up thinking I would have to
Fight all of this alone
But now you hold me in the darkness
Hold me 'til it hurts less, you
Tell me that I'm alright
Show me where the light shines through
Please, stay, love me through the weather
Please,say this will be forever
Hold me in the darkness
Even when it's hard with you
It's a little bit, little bit better
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
A little bit better
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
And I
Grew up thinking I would have to
Fight all of this alone
But now you hold me in the darkness
Hold me 'til it hurts less, you
Tell me that I'm alright
Show me where the light shines through
Please, stay, love me through the weather
Please,say this will be forever
Hold me in the darkness
Even when it's hard with you
It's a little bit, little bit better
Once we finished the song, everyone started clapping for us. We took a bow and left the stage.
I still remember when we first sang it. It was in our second year of high school and my mom recently passed away. I was broken and depressed for around 4 months but Sophia helped me get through it. She was the one who suggested making the song so we could let all of our emotions out. Then around 2 months later there was a talent show and thought," What a more perfect way to show our new song to everyone." And that's what we did, and not to brag but we killed it. They even gave us a standing ovation!
But anyway...
Back to the present.
"That was amazing!"I said .
"Hell yea it was!"Sophia says back, making me chuckle.
After we put back the guitars, we went back to our table and finished eating and talking. We were laughing the entire night and being around her made me feel complete.
This night is one of the best nights that I've had in a long time.
💜Sophia's POV💜
After everything that happened at the cafe, Hugo took me home and was about to leave when I stopped him by grabbing his arm. Once he turned around, looking confused, I went on my tippy toes and kissed his cheek.
"I had an amazing night Hugo and I hope that you drive home safely,"I said.
"I had an amazing night too Sof and I will see you later," he said while pulling me into his arms and hugging me tightly. He rested his head on top of mine and gave me a lingering forehead kiss before letting me go.
And with that, he left.
I stayed outside for another minute or two, repaying everything that happened today before I went inside. I wished Amber and James goodnight and told Amber that I will tell her all the details tomorrow before going up to my room.
I got in my bed, thinking about how great tonight was and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
Little did I know that my smile will soon disappear.
