Part 12: Blue Moon Diner
A/N This isn't the same diner you see on the show. There was a really old diner that I used to go to all the time. There was a fire and so they took it out.. It was called the "Blue Moon Diner".
"How 'bout that old diner you told me you saw about." Amanda suggested.
"Perfect." Kyle said kissing her again.
--
Kyle pulled into the lot and he parked the car in between two faded parking lines. The weather-beaten old sign said "Blue Moon Diner". He ran over to Amanda's door and opened it slowly. She giggled. He opened the door and it made a loud creak. But inside, the place was an amazing sight. The tiles were neatly polished, the booths were in perfect condition, the jukebox was playing, and there were a crew of smiling faces.
A man that looked like in his early 20's came over and said.
"My name is Alex and I will be your server today. Would you care for a booth or table?"
"Booth would be nice." Amanda said, hooking her arm around Kyle's.
They sat down at a booth with bright red seats and looked at the menu.
"Now what can I get for you two?" The waiter said, holding a pad and pen.
" I'll get have the Humdinger Cheeseburger and a cherry cola please." She said, handing back her menu.
"And I'll get a chocolate shake and grilled cheese." Kyle said, also handing back the menu to the man.
"OK. Your meal should be done in just a couple minutes." The man said smiling, then walked back into the kitchen.
"This place is so cute." Amanda said, taking Kyle's hand from across the table.
"Yes, you are" Kyle said quietly.
"Huh?" Amanda said, giving Kyle an awkward smile
"Oh, I meant…" Kyle started to say.
"Kyle, your making me blush!" Amanda giggled, trying to hide her face in her shoulder.
"No, you're even cuter when you blush." Kyle admitted, turning her head gently with his soft fingers. Amanda smiled then looked down at the table.
"OK, here is your milkshake, and your cherry cola." The waiter said, handing them both their drinks. Your food should be coming right up."
Kyle took a spoonful of his milkshake and held handed the spoon out for to Amanda. She stuck it into her mouth and then took another spoonful and ate it.
"Mmm…this is really good! " Amanda said. Then, remembering the drink was Kyle's; she smiled, pushed the glass towards him, and then looked down in her lap.
"No, Amanda, have as much as you want." Kyle offered, pushing back the glass to her. She sat there for a millisecond, then grabbed the spoon again and then laughed.
Kyle always loved her playful laugh. It always made him smile and reminds him how much they love each other.
"I feel so horrible, I ate half your milkshake." She giggled, then handed the glass to Kyle.
"Amanda, I can always get another one." Kyle said, laughing a bit..
"Burger for the lady, and grilled cheese for the gentleman." The waiter said putting the baskets of food onto the table.
"Anything else I can get for you guys?" he continued.
"Another shake, and some napkins please." Kyle said sweetly; just like he always was.
"They will be right up!" The waiter said, walking towards the ice-cream machine, picking up another glass and pouring the chocolaty goodness into it. "And here you go." He said, setting down the glass and a stack of napkins.
"Enjoy your meal," he said kindly.
"Kyle, you take the full one and…." Amanda said, but was interrupted by Kyle with a smile.
"You're starting making me blush again Kyle." Amanda said, starting to eat a fry. He chuckled then took a few bites out of his sandwich.
Amanda had devoured most her big cheeseburger, and Kyle couldn't stop himself form from smiling.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Amanda asked putting the last piece of burger down in her basket.
"No, its just, I didn't know you had such a hardy appetite." Kyle said, hoping she wouldn't take it the wrong way.
"When my dad was alive, he used to make the best hamburgers at our house. I would always help him put in all the spices and it would make me so happy spending time with him. But now that he's passed on…" Amanda's voice trailed off. Her eyes welled up, and a tear started to trickle down her cheek.
"Amanda, I'm sorry." Kyle started, and Amanda sniffled.
"Why?" Amanda asked confused a little bit and sniffled again.
"Amanda, I'm sorry that he's not with you anymore, that he isn't there to make you a home-cooked meal; that you miss him so much. If I could have known him, I would miss him terribly too. I couldn't stand to be away from the Tragers, and I can't even imagine how hard it must be."
"How is it that you always know what to say to make me feel better. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. I love you so much Kyle."
"I love you more than you think Amanda" Kyle said, grasping her hand in his once more. "You mean the world to me and I would be a mess without you." Kyle continued.
"Kyle, that means so much to me." Amanda said, then leaned over to kiss his cheek. He quickly turned his head and got one on his lips.
"Kyle!" Amanda giggled.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist." Kyle said letting go of their entwined hand.
"Check please!" Kyle hollered.
