Authors Note: So I haven't finished my untitled story yet but this came into my head today and I had to get it out. It's a Naley. Please read and review and let me know what you think.
Prologue
He didn't know what was wrong, all he knew was he had to get out. He111 picked up his car keys and walked out the door. He started to drive around aimlessly not caring where he went. He did this a lot when he needed to clear his head, got in his car and drove. He drove around a part of town he'd never been to before. That's when he noticed the small diner tucked in between two buildings. The fluorescent lights were on telling the public they were open 24 hours.
No cars were in the parking lot. For some reason he felt the need to go in. He parked his car and walked inside. Inside it looked like any other 24-hour diner, booths, counter, jukebox, the whole shebang. He couldn't see anyone so he sat down at the counter to wait. Right after he sat down a girl came running out of the back. She stopped abruptly when she saw him sitting there and shyly brushed the hair out of her eyes. She grabbed a menu and silverware and came and stood in front of him.
"Hi. How're you tonight?" She asked with a bright smile as she handed him the menu. He read the name of the diner "Oven Fresh". Cute, he thought
"I've been better," he replied. He began to browse through the menu. 1 "Haven't we all. Can I get you something to drink? Though if I do say so myself I make one awesome chocolate milk shake." She flashed him another smile.
"Alright. I'll have one of those."
"Super. I'll go get that for you." He watched her run towards the back then come back out with ice cream. She walked by him and flashed him a smile as she walked towards the blender. She scooped out some ice cream dumped it in the blender, added some milk and turned it on. In a few moments she was done and returned with the shake.
"Here you go." She put down a napkin and placed the shake on top of it. "So do you know what you'd like to eat?" She pulled a pad of paper out of the back pocket of her jeans and a pen from her ponytail. He looked at the menu.
"Honestly I have no idea what I'd like to eat. Any recommendations?" She got a thoughtful look on her face.
"Well, I think I'm going to have to go with waffles just because that word is really cool. I mean come on say it with me, waffles. Isn't that just a fun word? But if you don't feel like breakfast the nachos are pretty good too. Add some chicken or beef and, my goodness; you're in a heaven. Though I do rather enjoy just a grilled chicken sandwich now and then. Or the chili cheese fries. Breakfast tacos are pretty great as well." He was amazed at how long she could babble on about food. He noticed her smile. He thought it was perfect. " So what sounds good?"
"I'm sorry, this is really off the subject of food, but what's your name?" She burst out laughing.
"I'm Haley."
"Haley, I'm Nathan. Nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand and the two shook.
