A Cup of Coffee
Disclaimer: I own nothing… :runs off crying:
Remus appeared at the door to the diner and sat himself at his table. Ginny shot him a look and he smiled at her. She rolled her eyes and finished her current order. Five minutes later, she headed towards him, shaking with nerves.
"What'll you have, Remus?" She asked.
"A cup of coffee, an English muffin and a plate of scrambled eggs." He grinned up at her. Ginny hurried off, feeling his eyes on her. It took ten minutes but she returned with his food.
"Hey, before you go. Get me some honey, will ya?" Remus questioned. Ginny looked confused but nodded and hurried off. Why had he broken the routine?
"Here you are. Honey." She set it on his table.
"Thanks, Gin." Remus' smile seemed a little sad.
"No problem. Everything okay, Rem?" Ginny leaned on the table.
"Hey, waitress? Can we get some service over here please?" A man called. Ginny smiled, apologetically and hurried away again. After a while, she returned.
"Anything I can do for you, Rem?" She asked.
"Yeah. Eat this muffin for me." Remus' mouth tilted up, mockingly. Ginny felt a weight lifted off of her.
"It's your breakfast, Remus." She returned.
"Fine. Take it back them. I won't eat it," Remus stared at her. She sighed, sat down and grabbed the muffin from him. There was silence for a few seconds, "So, how's your family?"
"Alright. Ron's a little messed up. Hermione's delivered her ultimatum." Ginny grinned.
"Oh, finally." A few more minutes of small talk and Ginny stood, her muffin finished. Someone called her away again. Several minutes later, Remus flagged her down.
"Done. I'll get your check." She smiled, rushed off and returned with his bill. He handed her the right amount and stood up.
"Look, Gin… will you come by my place later? There's something I have to talk to you about." He asked after he'd downed the last of his coffee.
"Oh, of course. I get off at noon. I'll see you around then, okay?" Ginny flashed a smile at him, which he returned and hurried off.
