Introduction
A man sauntered into the loud restaurant with nothing on his mind but food. His abnormally spiked hair was covered with a thin layer of white, fluffy snow. His nose was bitten red as he took a long sniff. The heavenly aroma filled his nostrils as his stomach gave a long growl. He bit his lower lip before finding a stool at the counter. He sat down on the bright red cousion as he pulled out a brown cigar.
After lighting it he took a long drag and blew it out slowly. "What can I get you sir?" Logan looked up to the waitress and ordered a beer with the breakfast special, which consisted of eggs- toasts, bacon and a couple sausages. Logan nodded to the waitress his thank you before picking up his fork and taking a couple bites from his sunny-side up eggs.
He didn't know how long he sat there, eating his breakfast, before a young woman walked in. He tore his gaze from the plate towards the door where the bell above indicated a customer was in. She was short, 5'4 Logan guessed, She wore a pair of tight blue jeans with a red shirt, something she must've been freezing in. The one thing that struck Logan the most was her hair. The woman's hair was a dark, navy blue.. and he swore he'd seen pointed ears.
The woman looked right and left before sighing and noticing the only seat, which was beside Logan. She hesitantly bit her lip before walking over and seating herself. "A beer please. Molson." She asked gently, whilst cracking her pinky knuckle.
Logan stared at her hands before returning to his meal. The woman beside him sighed and he heard the low rumble of her stomach. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted her grabbing it lightly- as if embarassed at the sound. Logan grunted before taking another bite of his food.
The waitress returned with her beer and gently placed it in front of the woman. "Thank you." The woman whispered before snapping the lid off with the counter top and taking a long swig. After placing it down she sighed loudly and took another. Logan couldn't help but look over and marvel on how well she was drinking the beer. In a moment- the thing was gone.
She gave a small belch, causing Logan to smirk. "Oh..sorry." She whispered- oblivious to her audience. Logan shook his head before going back to eating. "I'm Tegan." She spoke, leaning over to him.
"Logan." He grunted out, moving his eggs around. He really didn't want to get into a conversation with this woman, he had to get to Alberta soon.
"Ahh, why are you here? Do you live here?" She asked, fiddling with the bottle's cap.
"Traveling." Logan spoke, taking another long bite.
"Oooh." Tegan spoke, placing a palm under her chin. "I have car troubles. Fucking winds are just about blowing my damned car away."
Logan decided not to respond while taking a swig of his own beer. Silence drifted upon the two and the only sound was Logan taking long drinks of his beer. Tegan's stomach gave another loud rumble. Logan sighed guiltily and immediately stopped eating. "Look kid- Are you hungry?"
Tegan looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Kid?"
"Are you or not?" She bit her lower lip for what seemed like the thousandth time before nodding meekly. Logan dug around in his pocket before pulling out a twenty and motioned for her to pick something out. She hesitated once more before, eventually, settling for some scrambled eggs and toast.
She ate it quite quickly, and before he knew it- she was burping from the food. "Thank you." She spoke softly- looking at him. "I really mean it. I haven't ate in a couple of days. This was a real treat."
Logan grunted, "No problem."
Tegan blew a strand of hair from her forehead and began tapping her nails on the counter. The loud clanking soon became a rthym to Logan's ears and caused him to lighlty shiver. "Could you please stop?"
Tegan looked up and smiled apoligically, "I'm sorry." Logan grunted once more. "You don't say much- do you?" She asked, tilting her head. When Logan didn't respond she let out a slow, "Ahh.."
Logan shook his head before taking the last gulp of his beer and heading to the cashier. Tegan immediately stood up and followed him. She then started to dig into her pockets- only pulling out a couple of loonies. "Don't worry about it." Logan said, pulling out the same twenty she'd seen earlier. As the lady rang up the bill, Logan went to pay with the money he had- but Tegan quickly placed down her two dollars.
Logan turned around once recieving his change and headed towards the door- aware of the woman following him out. Once the door opened at the cold brisk air stung his nose, and he felt the woman behind him shiver slightly. "Yeah?" He asked, turning around- "Why ya followin' me?"
"I-I just th-thought.. if you ha-have a moment.. could you-you look at my car?" Her arms were warpped tightly against her chest, as if blocking the cold away.
Logan groaned. But one look at her face caused him to change his mind. Asking where it was he self-conciously tugged his jacket tighter to himself before walking over to beat up junk. Just one look at it told Logan that it was never going to run again, at least in this weather. But he decided to look at it anyway. He quickly asked her to pop open the hood and he went under, carefully inspecting it.
After a moment of looking at the rusted up engine he stood up and shook his head towards her. The woman let out a load groan as she hit her head on the steering wheel. Logan, not knowing what to do, slammed the hood down and stood in the snow- leaning on his left leg.
"Fuck..Fuck..Fuck." Tegan banged her head a couple more times before letting out a long groan. Her nails dug into the dark fake leather steering wheel. She stopped banging her head and let it rest there for a moment and Logan was afraid that she was crying. After a slow shaking of her shoulders- he'd known that he was right.. she was crying.
The man didn't know what to do. Should he go over there? Maybe comfort her? Logan gave a shake of his head before walking up to the window and tapping it. It took a moment before the woman looked up and met his gaze. Logan tensed up and didn't speak anything for a moment- until.. "Where ya heading to?"
"...I have no idea."
Well that helped... "Get in my truck and I'll take you somewhere." Logan demanded gently. He turned away before she would question him. He gestured to her to pop open the trunk- she allowed him to dig in and carry away her suitcases. She got out of the car and bent into the compartment known as her trunk. She dug around and pulled out another small suitcase and a forest green blanket. She brought her hand up and slammed down the trunk hood.
Taking her keys from the front she began to crunch her way towards an old truck- a 70's Ford with a white camper on top. She opened the passenger side door and realized the man was putting her suitcases in the back of the seat- she followed pursuit and grinned victorious before Logan slammed back the seat and hopped in. The small figure pulled herself up and she slammed the door close.
Logan's hand reached for the ignition and he turned the key forward and the truck purred to life. He looked at his mirror and backed away from the parking lot and drove off.
Silence floated among them excluding the radio- which was turned down low. Tegan looked out the window before looking over to Logan- who's gaze was fixed on nothing but the white road. "Thanks.. I mean thank you. This had got to be the best-"
"You're welcome." Logan interrupted. He didn't want her to flatter him for fear of him becoming embarressed and stumbling on his words- hell he'd probably start to stutter and blink rapidly.
Truth was.. he didn't know why he did it. He didn't know why he'd taken in the young woman under his wing, he didn't know why he took pity on her. He didn't want to know.. at least not right now.
