Ch. 1

"You made it!" Stefan said surprised as he got up from the booth.

He had already been sitting down at a table. From his earlier sitting hunched form, I'd bet he'd been sitting here for awhile - especially since Aunt Jenna made me help her clean out the garage for like half an hour. Meaning I was already thirty minutes late. He helped me into the booth, and then sat down opposite of me.

"Of course I did," I replied to his prior comment, "You got my text, right?" He smiled remembering the text message.

gonna be late. helping jenna clean out garage. stay there. get us a table. don't worry. be there soon. luv u

"Yes, I did," he answered. The waiter came around and asked for what I wanted to drink.

"A Diet Coke and a water, please," I told him.

He left, and Stefan asked, "So how was cleaning out the garage?"

I sighed and replied, "It sucked. It was hot and..." Coming up with a blank, I finished by saying, "Well, hot..."

He laughed and I took a drink of my Diet Coke that the waiter had just set down.

"Thank you," I said.

"You're quite welcome," the waiter replied with a supposedly "secret" wink.

He walked away, and I stared dumbfounded at Stefan. To which he stared back as stunned as I was. We immediately started laughing, and I almost choked on my water as I took a sip in between laughter.

"You okay?" Stefan asked - to which we started laughing all over again.
