After Luna closed the bar. I walked over to her. "Hey." I said. She turned to me. She didn't say anything. Just looked to the ground, I sighed. "Ya hungry?" I asked. Her grumnlin' stomach answered before she could. Remindin' me of when she shared half of her food ta me.
"Um... I guess..." Her face turned back to the way it was when I first started flirtin' with 'er. She did look cute when she did that. "You, uh, know a resturaunt 'round here?" I asked. She nodded. Takin' her to my truck. I allowed 'er to sit with me in the front. After I started the engine. She told me about this family friendly place where we could go and eat.
(Luna's P.O.V)
After we made it to LongHorn Stakhouse. The waiter sent us to a booth, far enough from the door, but next to a window. The tv was blaring some football game. I checked the menu. "Why'd ya bring me here?" Quick asked. "Well... I thought you might like this place." I replied.
"So... How long are you going to be here?" I said. "Don't know, lily, ain't sure yet." He shrugged. "How long have ya been here?" He questioned. "Since I was born." I replied.
"Where were you born?" I said. "Santa Fe." He smirked. I was surprised. From the way Quick Draw dressed, I thought he was from Dallas or Georgia or maybe Alabama. Perhaps he hasn't told me everything. "Then, maybe I should start calling you Dora?" I joked. "McCree." He remarked. I soon gave him a funny look. "Jesse McCree." He said. Unexpected much? And to think, he told me his name was Luna!
Maybe he was astounded by my name to not tell me. I quickly changed topics again. "So, how long have you been here?" I guessed he was probably here for something, maybe I'm wrong. "Just got here." He replied. That took me by surprise. Jess actually went all the way from New Mexico to America just like that? But, that will take him 2,001 miles to get here by car.
"Well, why are you here?" I asked him. "Just came to find someone." He answered. His eyes were busy somewhere else. I felt like my heart would stop beating any moment. So, did he come back for me? Or... Maybe someone else. "Have you found her? Or him?" I said. "Yeah, but, it turns out she's gettin' married." I had two emotions fighting inside of me. I was sad for him because this girl he loved was going to be with someone else. But I was upset that he didn't come back for me. I guess he was finally over me.
"Well, maybe it isn't too late." I said. He finally turned his attention towards me. "What? You think I should go stop the wedding and tell the bride how much I love 'er?" He rolled his eyes at me. "Seems like a good idea to me." I shrugged. The waiter came back a few hours later with our food. I didn't need another refill for my drink. But I guess Jesse wanted another.
"Hate ta break it to ya, lily, but I'll just let 'er happy with who she wants ta be with." He sighed. Soon, we both ate in silence. I didn't know what to say to the man I love... But after we finished, Jesse paid for the food. "You didn't have to." I told him. "I wanted to." He said.
"And now, I want ta see where ya live." He added with a light grin. I giggled softly. "Fine." I rolled my eyes at him. Using his pick up. I told him which way to go.
(McCree's P.O.V)
After I drove Luna to her place. I was shocked. After I never heard from 'er again. I never expected her to be livin' here in an apartment. But then again. I didn't have a place to crash.
Openin' my door and closin' it, I opened Luna's next. As she got out, she smiled softly at me. Like she used ta. "You know, its been a while since we've been together..." She said. "But, I'm glad that I'm here with you again. Even if you love someone else." I felt bad fer the white lie I gave ta her. I love Luna, but, I'm just really pissed at myself fer leavin' her just 'cause she never told me 'bout 76 bein' her boyfriend. "Well... Maybe you'd wanna show me around here next time?" I asked.
"I would love to." She replied. Kissin' my cheek before headin' up the stairs to her place.
Feelin' at the spot she kissed me. Just like she did durin' our first date. I went into my truck. Decidin' ta go find a hotel to sleep in fer a few nights until I go back to Santa Fe. But, until that weddin' happens... I'll just have ta stick around...
