You Are So Vain

You walked in to the party like you were walking onto a yacht. You had one eye in the mirror, as you watched yourself gavotte. And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner… They'd be your partner… you are so vain I bet you think this song is about you…


His hands were sweating, almost shaking with anticipation, his hearth jump every time some new arrived. He looked at his watched one more time barely a minute had passed since the last time he had looked. His cup of tea was getting cold, and had to be refilled any time soon, he dreaded calling the waiter; he would obviously approach and state the obvious. He had been stood up. He could not help but smile at himself, he was being dramatic, probably something had come up, they were Torchwood after all, and the world always found a way to get in to trouble. He looked at his watch again praying it had passed more than a minute. All right now he was being ridiculous, he gave a sight and saw the waiter moving towards him, the inevitable was coming, and he had to take it with a smiling face.

"Would you like more tea, Sir or perhaps you are ready to see the menu?"

"Just the tea, thank you I will wait until my party gets here to order."

"Very well Sir, may I offer some appetizer then?" –

God please just go and let me and my misery be. He could not help to think. He saw the waiter approach another and laugh, they would probably betting on him by now, his pride felt shatter, and now more than ever he hope his phone would rang with a call from work. He was now definitely going Weevil hunting he needed something to lay his rage on. He was so going to pay for this; he was going to make his life miserable starting tomorrow he would learn what hell was like. He was going to come with a very good excuse for this, what was he thinking no excuse would be enough. He was done with him, over, finite, no more opportunities after this. He looked at the cup of tea that seem to mock him, daring him to get up and leave, throwing the napkin on the table he stood up, while turning to get his jacket only to find face to face with him.

"Jack I am so sorry. My car broke out just as leaving the apartment, started raining I could not find a cab and I could not call you cuz you turn off your phone. Did I make you wait long?"

"Nah, I just got here too…" -He could not help but smile, he was sure Ianto would never lie to him, and he had turn off his phone as soon as he entered the restaurant. –"I ordered tea and appetizers."
