DISCLAIMER: I do not own Bates Motel or the characters, but I do own Tenley and Flora

Tenley ran her finger around the edge of the coffee mug and her eyes followed her fingers movement, her plum colored hair was messily thrown up into a bun and a few pieces had escaped, they softly framed her round face, her eyes were the color of the sky just after it rained, such a soft blue that it actually was a silvery grey. I shook my head softly and stared down at my coffee that was black as night, I looked up when I heard someone clear their throat. Our waitress stood there with a flirtatious and too much cleavage hanging out of her uniform, normally I wouldn't be bothered by it, but tonight I was and maybe it was because of the girl sitting across from me with her raw beauty and open vulnerability spilling out everywhere she went.

"Is there anything else I can get you?" The waitress, whose name was Paula, asked in a sickly sweet voice.

I turned my attention to Tenley who gave a soft smile and shook her head quickly, I turned back to the waitress and said, "No, we're good if we could just get the check."

She nodded and reached out to brush my arm as she walked away, I deftly dodged her hand and turned my attention back to Tenley who sat looking at me with a smirk.

"What?" I asked seriously.

"Either you seriously don't care that the waitress was helplessly flirting with you or your gay or something else is bothering you." Tenley said around a snort of laughter.

It was the first time I had seen her smile and I was slightly dazed at the sight of it, she really had a beautiful smile. It matched her personality at least what little glimpses I'd seen of it, I couldn't help but wonder what happened to make her shut herself off and where Flora's dad was because if it were me I wouldn't ever be able to leave their sides.

"I'm not gay, and I do care that's she flirting with me, that's partly why I'm bothered and the other part, I mean well have you seen her. I'm not saying she's ugly, but there is such a thing as too much of everything sometimes." I said my voice getting lower.

Tenley let out another snort of laughter and quickly covered her mouth when the waitress returned with our check. I pulled out some cash and left it by the check, I noticed on the receipt the waitress had written her number with call me and a winky face written underneath it. I scowled at it, that was the last thing I wanted to do, I saw Tenley's hand reach over and grab the receipt. My eyes shot up to her and she gave me a soft smile and whispered, "I got this, just follow my lead."

I nodded slowly, not really sure what she had in mind. Tenley slid out of the booth and walked past me, gently grabbing my hand in the process and pulled me along with her; her hand was soft against mine and so small held inside my large hands. She marched us right up to the register and slammed the receipt down on the counter, Paula jumped noticeably, obviously shocked by the sudden outburst.

"Just what exactly is this?" Tenley said menacingly.

Her thin finger lay atop the receipt, pointing directly at the number. Paula was suddenly very aware of Tenley's presence and she opened and closed her mouth like a fish.

"Well?!" Tenley said an edge to her voice.

Damn, she was a good actor, I felt her hand squeeze mine gently and I wasn't sure what it meant, but I squeezed her's back. Paula still hadn't said anything, but her face portrayed the fact that she was freaked out by Tenley's actions.

"Okay, look here, Paula." Tenley said, pointedly looking at Paula's name-tag. "I'm not sure what you're plan was with this whole thing, but you have clearly made my boyfriend very uncomfortable here. I will give you two options either you apologize profusely immediately or I talk to your superior and mention the fact of sexual harassment."

Paula opened and closed her mouth a few more times and then she spoke hurriedly, "Oh my god, I am so sorry, I had no idea that you two were, I am so sorry."

Tenley nodded her head in a deliberate manner and then pulled me out of the diner hurriedly, once we were outside I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my mouth and then suddenly we were both laughing like maniacs outside on the sidewalk in the cold October air. It was the middle of the night and it was freezing, but I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this alive, the last time I had found somebody who made me feel this alive and then just like that it all ended. The sound of a cell-phone ringing broke through our laughter, there was a soft hello followed by a few giggles and then her face dropped. Our feet pounded against the pavement as we raced towards the truck, my tires peeled out against the pavement and we were racing for the hospital, our slight fun was suddenly forgotten.


I'm sorry for another cliff hanger, but they are kind of fun. I do hope you babes enjoyed this lovely chapter and I do hope I'll get to hear from you babes (: *MUAH* ~Peace
