Turtles All The Way Down- AGAIN

Fourteen.

While in the car with Lucas, I still kept thinking about Davis, a second of his glance and I can't get him out of my head.. I am on a date! I wonder how he is and what was he doing at the lobby? What if he did see me and yet chose to ignore me? Have I really moved on? Would he recognize me if we are to ever meet? It's been 2 years, a lot has changed, I have changed for better and he looked different too, a little rough not the boy I remember, the soft one. I still remember those eyes, those shiny eyes that could be recognized even if he had a surgery. I mean why would he have a surgery, he still looks cute. Oh wait what am I thinking.. and I still find him cute? Ok maybe I should just stop thinking.

As soon as I snap back from all the Mr.Davis Pickett Jr thoughts, I find Lucas staring at me. Do I have something on my face? Is my makeup too much? UGHHH I specifically asked Daisy to keep it minimal. He is still staring, shouldn't he focus on his driving, I mean accidents hurt more than sanitizers.

"I..is something wrong?" I asked him blinking rapidly.

"Hahahahaha" he giggled. His laugh. Wow. "Don't worry nothings wrong. You look cute." He blinked back.

Well thats straightforward. "Ahaha" as I tuck my hair behind my ear "thenks." What did I just do ? Why did I tuck my hair I never do this!

"Dont worry about anything you look perfect and I was just checking on you, since you have gotten into the car, You seem lost." He said.

After a pause he says "and you looked calm thinking about...Uh I don't know what and I didn't want to disturb you so thats why I kept staring."

"Sorry.. if you didn't like it I wont.. but you are too cute to not look at." Okayyyy he is good at flirting.. very good. I wonder how Daisy would react if she was here. You know what she would definitely squeal'.

How could I tell him that the train of my thoughts were about another guy.. A guy from my past and that maybe I haven't moved on, on my first date? Nah. 

"No, nothing as such.. I was just thinking.. umm about my mom." I said nodding my head. MOM SRSLY? why bring mother on your first date Aza, so stupid of me.

"Oh. It's okay I understand, I miss my old folks too." He smiled. Not like the one I saw in the lobby. Great way to ruin his night Aza. I should change the topic.

"So umm.. where are we heading?" I asked. Shamelessly.

"Not far. Don't worry we are almost there.. it's an amazing cafe with great food and Dr.pepper" he smiled again.

He knows I like Dr.Pepper? How? I looked at him confused.

"Don't worry, I didn't stalk you. Ive seen you drinking once at Applebee's.. and I assumed you liked em' ?" He said confidently. Spot on.

"Aaah... yeahh me and Daisy. We love Dr.pepper." I smiled back for once. I mean come on he deserves it.

"You know what Aza, you should keep smiling more." His eyes, I see that twinkle again, from our lobby meet.

He then takes a turn at the steering wheel. He looks so cool for doing that. And not far away from the turn he parks our car into an alley and gets off.. where is he going? He then comes to my door, open it and puts his head through. I can feel his breath.. minty. Looks at me smiles, is he going to kiss me?... oh no he was only here to unlock my seat belt which I had been clinging onto with my stubby nails.

"After you." He said. By blinking and tilting his head to direction I am supposed to walk.

"Thank you." I said as I looked at him

"No formalities, it's the least I could do." Said Lucas. Lucas... Lucas is a nice name.

I wonder if the restaurant is clean. I mean, These days there are just a lot of hygiene issues, I read it on the internet that 1 in 10 people die of food poisoning, I could be that 1.

"Hey! Come here." Lucas calls out by opening the restaurant door.

THE CABIN. Aren't cabins usually in the woods? Well now I know, not everything has to make sense. I just hope THE CABIN is clean.

I enter the restaurant with Lucas. The place is dim lit, like candle light. Aren't candle lights expensive? I mean why are the lights off? So that people cant see what they are eating? And have poisoned in the dark??!

"Hi! A table for two please." Said Lucas to the waiter. "And can you clean it throughly please. Thank you." Wow. He said what I couldn't for years.

The waiter seemed like someone I knew. But could I possibly know someone in Colorado? He kept distinctly looking at me, like he knew me or something? Those eyes, Ive seen them before.. but where??........DAVIS!
