My Forbidden Vampire Romance (ON HOLD)

The Diner

I stood outside the diner holding my breath. I could hear the muffled sounds of talking, laughing, and music playing. I had my hand on the door trying to gather up the strength to go in. I turned around and looked back in the direction of Angelina's car. My friends smiled at me hopefully and motioned for me to go inside. I take a deep breath. I can do this. I push the door open and step inside.

Everyone turns to look at me momentarily before returning to whatever they were doing. I slide into a two person booth and pick up a menu. The waitress is at my table in seconds.

"Hello darlin', how can I help you this evenin'?" She said in an overly rehearsed cheery voice. She's probably been practicing that cheesy smile in the mirror since she got this job. 

"Well... uh... I guess I'll have a coffee with a little bit of cream for now."

"Alright then, is that all?"

"Yes, thank you." 

"Alright sweetheart, I'll be back in a minute with your coffee." She smiled again before walking quickly back to the kitchen. 

I looked around and saw Angelina and Katie walk through the door and over to a booth not far from mine. 

Where could he be? Is he already here? I don't even know what he looks like. How will I know who he is when I find him? 

I see the waitress coming over with my coffee.

"Here you go honey. Anything else?"

"No I'm fine thanks." 

She smiles again and walks away. I've been here forever and decide to give up. I look at my phone. I have a text from Katie.

See anyone yet? 

No, you?

No. Maybe he's not gonna show?

Guess not. Hmm... What now?

Idk. Head to the bathroom. We'll meet you there in a sec.

K.

I get up and head to the bathroom across the diner. I try to get a glimpse at every booth on the way. I push the door open and pause to look in the mirror. I still look pretty great if I do say so myself. Katie and Angelina show up a few seconds later. We check all the stalls before speaking.

"So what now?" I'm the first to speak up. 

"Well I really don't know. So, no one talked to you?" Katie questions.

"No one except for my overly cheery waitress." 

"Maybe he's just not here. And you'll most likely get another note Monday." Angelina offers.

"Yeah I guess you're right. I just wish we would have found him." 

"I know Tay."

We head back to our tables to pay. We head back to the college and I slip into my dorm. 

I wonder if he was even there tonight? And if he was, why didn't he talk to me?

I slip my dress off and clean my face. I get a quick shower, throw on my pajamas, and slide under the covers. I didn't realize how tired I was. I soon fall into a dreamless sleep.
