John Darling entered Granny's cafe and sat down at a table next to the window. He picked up the menu but rather than reading it he stared blankly at it as he contemplated recent events.
Now that they had their sister back and Pan was defeated him and his brother could finally relax. Wendy was sleeping soundly in their hotel room while Michael watched over her. For hundreds of years their life's purpose had been getting their sister back, now that they had her John didn't know what they would do.
"So, see anything you like?"
John, who had been deep in thought, was caught by surprise. His head whipped to the side to see who had spoken and immediately his jaw went slack. The first thing he saw were long uncovered legs.
"I.. uh.." His mind went blank as his eyes trailed up the rest of her body and rested on her face.
"I meant the menu." She laughed, finding the look on his face hilarious and adorable at the same time.
"Oh, yes, sorry!" He stammered, trying to hide the blush on his face.
"Its ok sweetie. I like your accent, are you British?" She asked as she leaned on the table.
"Yes I am, I grew up in England." He replied, happy to change the subject.
"So you're cute and British then."
"Uhh." Once again John was at a loss for words and he could feel the blush return to his face.
"Tell you what, my shift ends in an hour. Hang out here until then and maybe we can catch a movie together." She said, a smile creeping onto her deliciously red lips.
"I would like that." John replied. "I'm not really sure what to order though?"
"How about a Hot Cocoa with cinnamon? Its on me!" she replied as she took the menu from his hand.
"That sounds good, but I can pay for it myself." He said politely.
"I've got it covered, employee iscount." She said with a wink before walking over to the main counter.
He couldn't help but stare at her as she walked away. Her dark hair laced with red hilights swung with every step.
She returned moments later with a steaming cup of hot cocoa. She set it on the table and then turned to walk away but quickly turned back.
"By the way, my name is Ruby." She said as she ran her fingers through her hair.
"Its a pleasure to meet you. I'm John, John Darling."
