"Is there a restaurant on that list of yours?" Michael asked smoothly keeping his swollen, bloody hand on the steering wheel and one on my knee.
"Um yeah... let me check."
I pulled the soggy piece of paper from my pocket and read a smeared "FIRST DATE WITH YOUR DAD- TED'S 24 HOUR DINER".
"Go to a place called Ted's 24 hour diner." I squinted and read the address to him.
About 15 minutes later we pulled up to a small diner with a big red sign reading "TED'S" in huge vibrant letters. There were only 2 cars in the lot and I assumed they were the workers, the restaurant was vacant.
"Hmm..." Michael said questioning the restaurant.
But I was already half way out the car heading for the door. I forgot to eat before I stupidly got lost.
Michael ran up behind me and slung his arm over my shoulder. We walked in and every worker there greeted us with "Violet Tucker? I knew your mother and father!" And a large tight hug.
We sat in a booth in a corner, closest to the street and watched the cars drive by in the rain.
"I've always wanted to go to Brazil." he told me.
"And why is that?" I asked sipping on my vanilla milkshake.
"I don't know really. It's so beautiful though."
I giggled. "Very true." he sat right next to me. His hand fit in mine better than my favorite sweater fit me. Our feet rest on the seats across from us.
For the rest of the night Michael and I talked and ate possibly the best pancakes in the world. I liked Michael. I liked him a lot. More than I've ever liked a guy. He makes me smile and laugh like crazy, and makes me feel safe.
Michael walked me to the front door and gently kissed my lips.
"I'll see you tomorrow." He told me and I nodded and walked inside.
"See I told you not to panic!" Alice told the pacing Brooklyn.
"Violet!" She shouted and threw her arms over me. "Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine, are you..?" I asked her laughing.
"No! I mean yes! Maybe?"
"Yeah okay." I said laughing.
"So how'd it go?" Alice asked me.
I giggled and nodded. "Great. We're dating."
Alice gasped and squealed. This was a good thing for everyone.
