Chapter 4
"Wally? Wally, What are you doing? Where are we going? And who was that strange women back there? How do you know her?" Questions poured out of Lucky as she tried to get some form of information from Wally who seemed very persistent on putting as much space between them and the coffee house as possible.
As they continued away from the shop, Wally's grip seemed to tighten on Lucky's wrist. At one point he pulled so hard it felt as if he were going to pull it out of socket. After about another 5 minutes of the escaping, Lucky put her foot down, literally. Wally kept trying to jerk her forward, but she resisted. "I'm not walking another step until you explain to me what the hell is going on!" Lucky said louder than she meant. A few bystanders gave her a startled stare or disapproving look. Both blushed, slightly at the unwanted attention. Wally continued trying to pull her farther up the road, but she refused to move.
Wally finally complied to her request, sort of. "I'll tell you once we get to the restaurant," he whispered. Lucky, realizing that was the best she would get, gave in and allowed him to continue dragging her up the street.
When the carrot top finally stopped, he was in front of a small restaurant with a red, green, and white awning. There were a few metal chairs and tables for outside seating, and the lights that hung from the brick walls were just hardly visible in the late afternoon. Rizzlos the Italian Bistro was on a sign that hung down from the awning. It was a quaint little restaurant that smelled of fresh rolls and garlic.
Wally yanked Lucky toward the door, before being gentlemen enough to open and hold it for her. She chuckled to her self thinking 'I guess chivalry isn't dead, after all.' Wally scurried up to the hostess, asking for a table in the back. Lucky was surprised that he hadn't even take the time to flirt with her. Once the hostess had set them at their table, a waiter hurried over. He was tall, broad and had sandy blonde hair.
"I'm Logan, I will be your server today," he introduced. "What can I get you?" he asked. Wally mumbled something resembled water. Logan scratched it down on to a pad of paper. He nodded at Lucky for her order. She said a simple 'same' and with that, Logan rushed off to the kitchen entrance.
Now that they were alone, Lucky was hopping to get some information out of Wally. She glared at him across the table as he sampled the menu. When he finally met her gaze, she spoke quietly, yet harshly. "Answers, now."
Wally gulped. "How 'bout we wait till we get those drinks?" he procrastinated. Lucky glared at him for the wait until Logan came back with the drinks. When he set them down, Wally picked his up and gulped down most of the water. When he returned it to its place upon the coaster, Lucky had to resist the urge to make it explode. Her glared intensified and Wally knew it was time to talk, otherwise he might not see the light of day again.
"She's... Miranda... We were... Before I found you..." Wally stuttering made it impossible to make a full sentence. When he regained his composure, he finally managed to let out,"Before I saw you in New York, when I came back here, I ran into Miranda. We were friends in high school. We hit it off. And we started... You know..." He didn't want to finish his own sentence.
"As long as you weren't friends with benefits, I don't see why I should care right now," Lucky joked. "Wally, I love you to death, but you're one of the biggest players I've ever met. I figured you probably dated a FEW girls before we got together." She couldn't help but laugh at her own joke. Though, Wally still seemed a little on edge. He let out a nervous chuckle at her joke.
"Right,... Well, uh...yah.. I, I guess..." Wally let out rather awkwardly. "But, Miranda and I... We... Lasted for... A while..." he managed to let out. Lucky only raised an eyebrow. As to ask 'how long would that be?' Wally started fiddling with his hands in his lap. How was it that he could interrogate hard core criminals without breaking a sweat, but when it came to him and his bride-to-be having awkward conversations he was a nervous wreck?
Just as the silence was becoming unbearable, Logan walked up and took their orders and refilled their drinks. Wally gulgged down half of his water and finally answered the assumed question, "We saw each other for about a year." Lucky leaned back in her chair and looked at him with a 'that's it?' questioning look. Wally nodded.
Lucky sighed. "Oh, Wally, it's so cute that you actually thought I'd care about that..." she chuckled. That was when he let out the bad news. The news that nearly made her tumble out of her chair.
"We... We were engaged..." Wally let out quietly.
Lucky's chair legs slammed back on the floor. Her eyes widened. "WHAT? How could you not tell me about this?" she raised her voice slightly.
Wally tried to advert her eyes. Managing to glance around the restaurant, he was glad that not very many people were there to see the drama that was going down. "I... I didn't think I'd see her again... The engagement ended rather badly..." he stuttered, scooting his chair back light bit at a time.
"What does 'rather badly' mean?" Lucky asked still slightly irritated.
"We just... Argued... A lot... I mean a lot... Substantionaly more than you and I ever do..." Wally said while looking at his hands as he continued messing with them. Lucky was surprised that Wally could ever argue with someone more than they did. "And the night before the wedding... I just...I didn't want to live my life like that... So... I... I left...Wrote her a letter explaining it all... According to my uncle she took it rather well, so, I never turned back on that decision. And it served me well, because when I went to New York, I found you," he explained. When he finished the story, he took her hand and kissed it.
Lucky wasn't sure how she felt. She blushed slightly when he kissed her hand, but deep inside she felt worried that Wally might relapse. And that was something she prayed would never happen.
