"S...Sure, I'd love to" I said hesitantly, smiling at her warmly and she genuinely smiled back. I felt happy that she was happy.
She started the engine and drove towards the direction of the village.
We drove until we found a nice little diner called 'Pam's Place' it was a small little thing, the outside looking neglected though, but it seemed to be full inside so we stopped.
We walked in and soft music was playing in the background which I recognised to be 'Can't fight the moonlight by Leann Rimes'. I knew because Liberty listened to it a lot and she even played a cover of it on her guitar.
We found a booth in an excluded area of the diner and sat down.
"What can I get for you?" the waiter came over and asked us.
"Can I get a coffee and the small breakfast please?" Sienna spoke first.
The waiter looked to me and I asked for the same.
We talked about mundane things until our breakfast came.
Once it arrived we stared eating and I couldn't help but glance at Sienna every now and again, when she would catch me looking at her she would blush and look away.
Once we finished our breakfast and the waiter had cleared our plates from the table we sat there drinking our coffees. I didn't want to speak first and it seemed Sienna didn't either...
It was silent.
Breaking the short tension filled silence Sienna said "Talk to me, you have been different lately"
"Hmmm" was my only response.
I whispered "Texas..." I looked up at her with pain written across my face. She gave me a weak smile and reached out across the table grabbing my hand, I let her this time...
By now the song had changed to 'I should go by Levi Kreis, which I again knew of because of my sister and her love for music.
[I should go before my will gets any weaker
and my eyes begin to linger longer than they should,
I should go before I lose my sense of reason and this hour holds more meaning than it ever could]
We both pulled our hands away at the same time and she spoke "I know... it's hard and I'm sorry. I know you miss her but it's been months... she would want you to move on... be happy" she seemed to hesitate slightly "just remember I am here for you, always... I know it hurts, you loved her..."
She understood me... she knew what it felt like to lose someone that you didn't get the chance to make it right with. She knew how much it hurt. She understood the most.
I smiled "I did... do"
I saw a brief look of sadness on her face but she covered it quickly. Something I had just said seemed to make her unhappy.
I grabbed her hand, ignoring the sparks I felt, like an electric shock. I was missing Texas and it was playing tricks with my brain, it was messing with my head.
"Why did Darren and you split up then?" I questioned. She seemed angry and upset with this because she snatched her hand away and I saw a lone tear fall to cheek.
I hated it. I hated seeing her upset. I wish I never brought it up. How was I to know she would react like this?
"Babe"...
