America

We walked down the rest of the pier till we got to a little old fashioned diner. It was cute and definitely a place I'd go back to, especially for pictures. I don't remember coming here despite all the times I came with my family.

Shawn and I sat in a booth that had a window with a beautiful view of the ocean. A waitress came over and handed us our menus before leaving to help other guests.

"Have you been here before?" Shawn asked.

I looked up from my menu and shook my head, "Surprisingly no. Either my parents never knew or it wasn't around when we used to come here."

"It actually is new well not recent but we came when I was 15." He told me.

I nodded, "Make sense we stopped coming before I was 12." I laughed.

He had a small frown drawn on his lips, "Don't feel bad, I'm over it. It was years ago."

"So what are you getting?" I asked changing the subject.

"Hmm a milkshake and a burger with fries. What about you?" Shawn asked.

"I think I will have the same." I told him as I set down my menu.

He just had this goofy smile on his face as he shook his head, "What?" I asked.

His smile was contagious, when I seen him smile I couldn't help but smile as well. I loved it too, I've probably said it a thousand times but it never gets old.

"Nothing you're just different America." He told me sweetly.

I felt heat creep up to my cheeks before looking back down at the menu. I kept feeling his stare, I looked back up at him all while trying to control how I felt.

"A good different I hope." I tell him.

He nodded, "Yeah definitely good."

As if I wasn't already blushing I'm sure I was so red. Santa clause would no longer need Rudolph's red nose cause he could use my face. I held up the menu to cover my face while letting out little laughs.

"Come on, put down the menu down. You're cute when you blush." Shawn said trying to bring down the menu.

"Hi what can I get y'all?" The waitress asked as she came over to take our order.

"Um we will take two orders of shakes, hamburgers, and French fries." Shawn ordered.

I finally set down my menu and closed it getting ready to hand it back to her.

"Okay what flavor of milkshakes?" She asked.

"I'll take chocolate." Shawn answered before looking at me.

"Make that two." I told her.

She nodded, "Alright."

She then took our menus before turning around to go put our orders. I slowly looked over at Shawn and he was already looking at me.
