I couldn't keep my eyes of him. He was tall , nicely dress in a suit , with dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair.
" Sorry for interrupting y'all ladies, but can I bother y'all for a phone to call to get my car towed ," he said.
"Sure, the phone back in the kitchen, just make a right then you will see the phone hanging on the wall next to the refrigerator, " Toni said pointing her finger to the kitchen direction.
"Thanks," he said walking towards the kitchen.
"Robin I saw you making all googly eyes at him . Why don't you ask him for his name and number ," she said.
"I don't know Toni, he's hot in all , but..."
"But what?, "she said looking confused.
"But he looks way older than us..."
"So , stop being so shy , just talk to the man ," she said.
But, before I could tell her no , he came back to the front of the diner and asked for a cup of coffee.
I look around to see who he was talking to , but it was me. Toni slick self ran off into the kitchen, leaving me with him.
"Yeah, sure I can make you a cup of coffee ," I said looking nervously at him.
"Ok take your time," he said looking directly at me.
"Can I ask you what your name is miss, " he said smiling at me.
"Hum...my name is ... Robin Brace," I said blushing.
" Miss. Brace you have a very beautiful name," he said winking at me.
Something about him made me feel special. When he look at me with his beautiful brown eyes.
"Well , hello Miss.Grace nice to meet you, my name is John Matthews," he said holding his hand out to shake my hand.
When our hands touch I felt something more and I known John felt it too. Cuz we didn't let go until Toni walk back in the front of the diner.
"Excuse me, but I need to get my phone," she said with a big smirk on her face.
"Sorry about that , she's my best friend. Can I ask you question, Mr.Matthews?," I said leaning towards him on the opposite side of the diner counter.
"Yes you can ,but call me Joe," he said leaning more towards me.
"Ok Joe, what happen to your car," I asked.
"One of my car tires is on a flat and my iphone was dead . Then I saw your diner was open so that's what happen ," he said smiling at me.
"Will you feel more comfortable, if we can continue our conversation at of one of the tables, so you can get of you feet Robin," he said pointing to a table close to the window.
"Yes, I will like that, " I said smiling at him
Before I could pull out my own chair, Joe got it for me. Then push me up to the table.
"Thanks, for pulling my chair out for me."
" No problem, but thank you for letting me have the honor of pulling out your chair ," he said
He was really being a sweetheart and gentleman to me. Then he started asking me questions about myself.
"So, tell me about your self Robin, " he said looking at me with his dreamy eyes.
"Well, I'm a freshman in college and I came to New Orleans with my best friend Toni to get a fresh start from my hometown in Indiana," I said lowering my eye from him.
"Can, I ask why you leave Indiana ?," Joe said smiling and holding my hand.
" I'am sorry , but I don't feel comfortable talking about it," I said slowly moving my hand from his hand.
I really didn't want to tell Joe why I leave home.So, I asked him about himself. But, before he was going to tell me about himself the a tow truck to toll way his all black mercedes .
"I have to go now, but I really want to talk and get to know you more Robin. So can I have you number?, " he said standing up from the table.
"Hum...Ok. Let me get a piece of paper and pen ," I said looking passionately at him
When I got the paper and pen I wrote my number,then hand it to him. Then Joe took my hand and kiss it softly. Joe let my hand go and said ," thanks beautiful."
All I could do was look as he walked out the diner door with a piece of my heart....
