It's been two full, long weeks since I've seen Mr. Leto. Rehearsals for the after school Christmas Pageant were underway, and homework was a killer, so no time was ever spent at Allegra's. After failed attempts to get a text reply from him, I just gave up. I guess I'll see him when I see him.
But who am I kidding? This is Mr. Leto I'm talking about. This drought was driving me insane.
Derek, on the other hand, has stepped up to the plate; lately – ever so adamant about the date I owed him. Holding my end of the bargain for fixing the frame, we were set to go on our date tonight. Allegra was simply ecstatic and volunteered to do my hair and pick out my clothes for the evening. She dug out a burgundy with golden and white flowers scattered about the fabric, some boots and a beige sweater from my closet. I wore my hair in a messy bun atop my head.
For days Derek went on and on about this local diner, a real hot spot in town where the costumers ranged from as young as teens to business professionals.
It was a Thursday night, so I figured it shouldn't be too crowded. He was wearing creased khaki pants jeans and polo. He looked good. I could see the red spreading in his cheeks as the waiter walked us to our table. I hope he wasn't nervous. I wasn't.
Once we were seated at our table, we looked down at our menus. As I mulled over my cravings for a Cobb salad or signature pizza, I looked about the restaurant, taking in the many pictures and fancy trinkets.
I glanced over the tables encompassing the bar across from us filled mostly with well-dressed professionals after a long day of work. Men, sat across from their counterparts with their loosened ties and bowties as women sat with their crossed legs sitting high chairs.
There was this one couple in general that stuck out, cozier than the rest. The woman flicked her blonde hair as he leaned in towards her across the small bar table, whispering something in her ear. The brown haired male flashed a quick smile, but it wasn't directed to her, it seemed to be directed to... me. I cocked my head to get a better look at the mystery stranger. And then our eyes locked.
It was Mr. Leto.
What? How as he? and who was she? And why are they? Is this a... date? Ugh!
His eyes returned to mine again, but this look was different. There was longing in behind his eyes.

He tried to pull it off, but I saw right through him. I knew what he was doing, but I let it effect every single part of me.
