What do you do?

What feels right

The waitress keeps smiling at you while she stands beside the booth, one hand resting casually against her hip.

“You should come out tonight,” she says softly. “There’s this place down by the pier where everybody drinks way too much and dances until like two in the morning.”

She leans a little closer afterward, the tight black t-shirt stretching slightly against her chest while the short skirt hugs tightly against her hips.

“You seem like you’d be fun out there,” she adds quietly.

For a second, the attention gets to you a little.

You’d be lying if it didn’t.

The flirting is obvious. Intentional. And the waitress clearly knows exactly what she’s doing every time she smiles at you.

But then your eyes drift toward the hallway where Jane disappeared a minute earlier.

And honestly?

The decision becomes really easy after that.

Because no random attention compares to her.

Not after this morning.

Not after the way she looked curled against your chest beneath the blankets.

Not after the way she smiled at you when she caught you staring at her ass walking toward the bathroom.

Not after the way she trusts you without hesitation.

You smile politely before shaking your head slightly.

“I think I’m already exactly where I wanna be,” you reply softly.

For a second, the waitress just looks at you.

Then eventually she laughs quietly under her breath.

“Okay,” she says with a small smile. “That was annoyingly sweet.”

You laugh softly while handing her your card.

“She’s kinda perfect,” you admit honestly.

Something about that answer softens the waitress’s expression almost immediately.

“Well,” she says while taking the card from you, “good for you then.”

Then she steps away from the booth again.

And yes, your eyes still briefly catch the curve of her body while she walks away.

But this time there’s no temptation attached to it.

No lingering thought.

Because honestly?

All you really want is Jane back beside you already.

A few seconds later, she finally returns from the bathroom completely unaware of the interaction that just happened.

The second she slides back into the booth, she immediately reaches for your hand beneath the table again.

“Ready?” Jane asks softly.

You smile while squeezing her fingers once.

“Yeah,” you reply honestly. “Ready.”

Then a little while later, the two of you leave the café together hand-in-hand before disappearing back into the warm crowded streets near the beach, sunlight spilling across the sidewalks while Jane leans comfortably against your side.

And somehow?

The entire afternoon already feels lighter again.
