This imagine is actually based off of something that happened to River. Well, I think it happened to him. I think some of the events is what took place. Don't take my word for it tho! Let's say I got the idea from something that may have occurred in his lifetime.
He slid the chair from under the table waiting for me to sit down as he grinned pleasantly.
I take the seat. When he sits down, there's a waiter standing beside him. A black apron around her waist, her hair tied in a bun.
"What can I get for you two?"
My eyes scann the menu. I can't decide quick enough.
"Hmm...I'll take the eggplant with umm...tomatoe sause, please."
I look up at him, meeting his sky blue eyes. I smile at him carefully.
I had only just met River and this was our first date. I had fallen in love with him right away. He was such a beautiful soul, I just wondered why he wanted to be with me. I wasn't as pretty as other girls. I wasn't as smart. He liked me anyway.
My eyes touch his for a solid minute. Then I look up at the waitress, who's name tag reads 'Cindney'
"Umm...I'll have chicken. With uh, the side of peas I guess. Thank you."
I stare at River with a faint smile on my face. That smile only dies.
His eyes are drenched with,
Pain? He looks disgusted and as if he wants to cry.
My eyebrows arch and a sorry glare crosses my eyes. I mouth slowly, 'what's wrong?'
He doesn't say anything, I don't think he can. He gets up from his seat, and is not hesitant to walk out of the restaurant.
"Is everything okay, mam'?"
"Um...hold on. Can you put our order on hold?"
"Uh...sure?"
I run after him, shoving a man with slick back hair and a long trench coat out of my way.
I walk outside and it's chilly. A cold breeze washes through me and I tug on my jacket more.
There he is, sitting on the curb, his head burried in his palms as if he were crying.
"River? What's the matter?! Why'd you walk out like that?!"
I ask, bending down in front of him, trying to see his eyes.
He lifts his head slowly.
"Why did you do that?"
"Did what, River? I don't understand..."
His eyes are on mine, but only for a second. His head drops and he is gazing at the ground.
"You ordered chicken. I mean, I was going to tell you, but...I'm a vegan. It's disgusting when people eat animals. It's cruel."
He says softly. I felt ashamed. Our first time out, and I already screwed things up. I had did something wrong. I had did something that had hurt River. I hated myself. After this, I was sure he wouldn't like me.
I gasp.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Gosh...I'm horrible, aren't I?"
"No, it's not your fault. It's okay. I think we should go, though."
My eyes light up. I didn't wanna leave. Maybe I could order something else. I just wanted our night to go as planned.
"No, River. Please, I'll order something else. Can we just finish our night?...right."
He nods and then I help him up. His arm around me and he pulls me in close.
We walk back inside the restaurant.
