Chapter Two.
Teddy James Perkins.
The atmosphere in the diner was place gave off an incredibly calming feeling with its soft colors,the booths that had black seats which contrasted nicely against the blush pink and sky blue walls,the soft music that played through the speakers and the friendly-and instant-service you receive as soon as you're seated.
It was for that reason that Teddy chose to take Alex to this place,well that and because he really wanted to get to know the beauty who was so much different,yet so much alike her on screen persona.
Yeah,he was a fan of her and found her really talented but not enough to give him the confidence to approach her in the club a few minutes was different and stood out in the crowd of women wearing skintight dresses and sky high heels,the women throwing themselves at the men in the club and drinking the most expensive drinks they could get their hands on because while they did that she stood at the bar drinking a beer in her ripped,black skinny jeans,her form-fitting,long sleeve,plum cropped top,leather jacket and black booties.
She looked absolutely beautiful with the way her hair was pulled out of her face in a ponytail with the edges curled and her simple makeup with the plump colored lips,her calm attitude and her immediately shyness when she locked eyes with was that moment,that reaction,that gave him the confidence to approach her and boy,was he glad he did.
She looked content drinking one of the two large milkshakes he ordered,occasionally munching on the plate of chili cheese fries he ordered for them to share,the conversation seeming to flow at a decent pace between the two of them and he at the moment,he was so extremely happy she accepted his offer of leaving the crowded club and coming to the semi-full diner with him,the two of them occupying a secluded booth in the corner where they simply just relaxed and enjoyed their milkshakes and fries.
"It's really sad that I've been in Seattle so much times and I've never been here before."Alex said,shaking her head with a small laugh,pushing her empty glass to the middle of the table so that it could rest next to their empty plate and Teddy's empty glass."I'm so disappointed in myself."
"Don't be."He chuckled,leaning back in his seat and ran a hand through his quiffed hair."Seattle's a really big place and this diner's situated where not a lot of people would go."
"How did you find this place anyway?"
"A few years ago my friends ditched me at the club we were just at.I decided to walk around a little and it started raining,Annie's was the first place I saw that could offer me something warm to drink and let me wait for a since that night,I promised Annie that whenever I was around I'd always drop by."
"And what a sweet young man he is to keep his promise."Annie said,placing two more milkshakes down in front of them while Alex smiled at Teddy when a blush coated his cheeks."Though this is the first then he's granted all of us with his presence twice in one with a girlfriend."
Blushing,both of them started stuttering,denying the elderly woman's claim about Alex being Teddy's girlfriend but all Annie did was laugh and walk away with their empty glasses and plate.
When they entered,Teddy explained to her how Annie welcomed him to the diner on his first she could immediately tell he wasn't from there and called a cab for him seeing as he didn't know his way found it really sweet that the woman would do that and when she met her,Alex could already tell she would like her.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them and as Alex looked at the banana-berry milkshake topped with whipped cream and sprinkles,she pulled out her phone and Teddy arched an eyebrow at her,both of them brushing away any awkwardness that was between them.
"What are you doing?"He asked,peeling the paper off of his straw and sticking it in the milkshake,bringing the straw to his mouth as she clicked away on her phone before bringing it up to his face
"It's so that I can finally say I met the amazing 'TJ Perkins'.The one guy I keep gushing about on Instagram and Twitter."She immediately blushed after the words escaped her mouth,taking the picture of him smiling as he drank his milkshake.
"You gush about me?"He asked,playfully placing a hand over his mouth in 'shyness' causing her to chuckle softly and take a picture of him that way as well."Well I gush about you too so it's only fair that I get a picture too."
Pulling her ponytail over her shoulder,she gave him a wide smile and placed her head on her fist next to her milkshake.
"This okay?"She asked and he chuckled,pulling his own phone from his pocket,tapping on a few things before aiming it at her,the flash going off not even a few seconds later.
"Yeah."She smiled softly,grabbing her straw and placing it in her milkshake moving to take a sip but looked up after the flash went off again."Thanks."He murmured.
