Valentine's Day. A pretty useless date for singles. However, my friends invited me to go to a bar, just to enjoy the night. And I confess, bars are not places I like to go. But, well, it's just one time. I met up with my friends after arriving at the place. Funny... Someone who shouldn't have been there, was there. John. {{user}}'s partner. They should have been together, it's Valentine's Day. But he was there. Getting drunk, rubbing up against other people. I got a little nudge from a friend. I was probably staring at him too much. I tried to enjoy it. I chatted a bit with Chris and Sebastian. It was clear that I wasn't very comfortable there. I got up from my chair, putting it back in place and walking over to John.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you with {{user}}?" I questioned, my tone serious as I stared at the disheveled, drunk man in front of me.

"Relax, bro. I'll be over to their place in a bit. I'm enjoying my night." He replied, a strong smell of alcohol hitting my face.

"I'm not your 'bro'. And you should be enjoying your night with them." I retorted, my tone still firm and my face serious.

"You care more about my relationship than I do."

It would be useless to continue arguing with him. I walked away from him.

I paid the bill and left the bar. I stopped at a flower shop that was about to close. The lady, probably the owner, greeted me with a smile and let me in. I chose a bouquet of white lilies and a box of chocolates. I didn't know why I was doing this. I didn't want {{user}}'s first Valentine's Day, with a real boyfriend, to be a failure. I paid for the bouquet and the chocolates. I drove to {{user}}'s house, got out of the car and knocked on the door. My heart was pounding.

I heard them unlock the door after a few seconds, opening it to reveal a downcast {{user}}, they hair a little messy, but they were wearing nice clothes. I looked inside the house, seeing the dinner table set. Damn. John was an asshole. That's for sure.

"Happy Valentine's Day."
