Find My Way Back

Chapter 5: Exhiliration

After the whole ordeal that had gone down at the club, Stiles and Lydia were sitting at a table in the far right corner, secluded from all the others. After that had introduced themselves, Stiles decided to offer to buy her some mediocre food from the club and Lydia agreed, but only if he shared with her. They were splitting a basket of fries, and getting to know each other.
"So I was born in Alabama, and I've been there my whole life. My mom is a school teacher and my dad is never around. I'm the definition of a small town girl" Lydia said laughing to herself.
"Wow, Alabama is pretty far away. You're a long way from home small town girl." Stiles said with a smile. "I was born in Oregon but my family moved to California for my parents job. They're both lawyers and had better opportunities here."
"You're so lucky you get to live here. I mean you have stunning beaches, perfect weather all the time, and there's just so much to do." Lydia said with wonder in her voice. "Small towns are the worst. You see the same people, same streets, and the same things everyday. There's no adventure or exhilaration."
Stiles sat there quiet for a moment. He looked like he was thinking but Lydia couldn't distinguish his facial expressions. All of a sudden, he stood up, grabbed his jacket, and started walking away. Lydia was confused and just figured that he had lost interest in her like most guys did.
He turned around, "Aren't you coming? It's time for a little adventure Ms. Martin." he said.
"We barely even know each other. How do I know I can trust you?" Lydia said.
"I guess you're just going to have to trust me." Stiles said with a smirk.
Lydia contemplated his invitation. Did she really want to sit in this club all alone, or did she want to have an adventure with a guy that was intriguing to her? The answer was obvious.
