“{{user}} — Please, forgive me,” John calls down the dark alleyway he’d followed you through. In fact, your partner had been following you for a while, your coat slung over his shoulder, pleading for your attention and forgiveness every so often.

Even with the support of alcohol to loosen you up, your stubborn march continued, ignoring John’s suggestion of a cab to deliver the both of you back home. A relaxed night shared between the two of you at a prestigious bar had been interrupted by the presence of another woman, with whom your boyfriend had shared a short conversation.

But the way she talked to him and his proximity to her had set you off, leaving John to deal willingly with your proceeding show of irritation and jealousy.

At the sight of your slight stumbling, he can’t help but smirk silently. He raises a brow from his distance a couple metres back, respecting the treatment you dealt him.

“Easy, love. Want me to carry those, too?” John hums lightheartedly, referring to your ambitious choice of footwear as you make your way over the cobbled streets.

When you choose to remain silent, save for a quiet scoff, he rolls his eyes, stuffing his free hand into his jean pocket.

“Can’t be mad at me forever, beautiful.”
