Klyde 

Since the carnival didn't start till 7, i decided to take her out to eat. I don't even know what shes allergic to. The more I try to be friends with her the more i notice that I'm a bad mate. Ive failed to do everything so far. But i wont give up on her easily, I want her to feel comfortable with me, i want her to know that she can trust me. So far she hasn't smiled, laughed, or even tried to make conversation with me. I honestly need to step up my game. 

With other girls I dont even have to try, previous girls just talk and talk, but Val isnt like the other girls my wolf  inside my head says. 

I finally have the guts to say something. Which by the way was pretty lame."so where do you want to eat?" I ask her. She moves her lip to the side and looks up " what do you want to eat?" she says trying to hide her smile. 

" Well that's no fun, whats your favorite kind of food then?" I smirk  her, is she answers that then  she will make it ten times  easier for me . What if i take her to eat Indian and she hates it or she cant eat it Cu's maybe shes allergic or something.

"hmm  .... how about you surprise me? " she says biting her lip. Then an idea hits me. 

"I hope you like to eat and dance" I tell her smiling.  I drive her to this 60's themed restaurant that I loved going to when I was younger with my siblings. I would order my usual vanilla milkshake and  burger with fries. As I park I notice she looks up at the place and smiles at the place." this place looks wicked" she says.

"you've never been here before?"I ask her, I'm surprised cus most people know of this place. Its been around for 45 years. As we walk in, I notice that nothing has changed the blue leather seats, red checkered tables and the old jukebox. The place looked pretty full for a Friday night but that didn't surprise me the place had the best burgers in town.  

We sit down and a waitress comes up to us, the lady looks about 56 who looked oddly familiar. I order my usual and Val the same except for a strawberry milkshake. Before the lady leaves she stops hesitates for a secs and looks at me  "I'm sorry but you look like someone i use to know ,  do I know you?"

" well my name is Klyde nice to meet you" i say holding my hand out. She freezes and hugs me, I have no clue why but the lady is hugging me.She stops and wipes her tears " I'm sorry its just that- boy you don't remember me?!" she says putting her right hand on her hip. 

" uh I'm sorry" i feel bad for telling this lady that i didn't remember her but truth was my memory was pretty faint. I take a few mins to remember and memories of this place go through my head. I get up and hug her. " How could I forget your Nana Donna!" I honestly hate myself right now, how could I ever forget her.

She was like a second mom for me and my brother when we were todlers. I remember her yelling  at me for eating her cherry pie and for pushing this girl down the well. I sit back down and look up at the lady that made me pies every year for my  birthday. 

" oh my, my, my you've grown, your a man now!. Wait till Susie sees you!" she says holding her hands up together as if she were praying. She takes in notice Im with Val " well I'll leave you guys and Ill be back with your order" she smiles and leaves.

" Im sorry, its just that she use to take care of me and my brother when we were younger" I say  playing with a napkin.

" you have a brother? how many siblings do you have?" I look up to see that shes interested, I take a deep breath and try to relax, but for some reason I'm getting nervous. 

" I have two siblings the oldest one is my brother John , the middle my sister Gisele but we call her Adeela and then there's me" i shrug at the last part. Everyone loves  my brother John he got along with everyone there wasn't one person who didn't like him, as for my sister she was loved above all she helped anyone with anything and didn't complain.
