When we walked into Delmars a man at the counter smiled widely. "Duke! How are you today?" The unknown mad said. Duke smiled and we walked up to the counter. "I'm great Mr.Delmar. Coraline here just moved into a house next to me." Oh so he must be the owner. "Hello Mr.Delmar." I smiled politely and shook his hand. Mr.Delmar gave me a wide smile. "Well it's very nice to meet you Miss Coraline. Now what would you two like to get?" Mr.Delmar seemed like a pretty nice guy. I looked up at the menu. Hmm number five seemed pretty good. I looked back at Mr.Delmar. "May I get a number five?" I asked Mr.Delmar. "Yes of course! It'll be coming up. What would you like Duke?" He asked Duke. "Oh I'll just get the usual thank you." Duke must come here a lot. Mr.Delmar smiled and walked to the back. I turnt to Duke. "So I see that you come here a lot." "Yup I come here about two times a week. He said. Mr.Delmar walked back out with two sandwiches. We thanked him. I was about to pull out my money but Duke pulled out his wallet. "I can pay for it Duke." "Nope I'll pay for it don't worry." He said while pulling out a few dollars. "Oh thank you for paying." I put back my money. "No problem." Duke responded. We walked outside and sat at an outside table. I unwrapped my sandwich and took a bite of it. The sandwich was actually really good. "Wow I can see why you come here a lot. The foods great." When I talked it was muffled from the sandwich in my mouth. Duke chuckled. "Yeah the foods great." When we were eating Duke pointed out that I had food on my face. I grabbed a napkin and start to wipe my face. Duke laughed and shook his head. "Here I'll get it." He grabbed another napkin and leaned in. He wiped my face and set down the napkin. "There...perfect." Duke smiled and I smiled back. We stared into each others eyes. It felt like time stopped. His eyes were deep and beautiful. Just then a bird flew down and tried to steal Dukes sand which. Duke shrieked and held onto his sand which. When the bird flew away we laughed. "I can't believe that just happened." I laughed barely able to get that sentence out. Duke chuckled and rolled his eyes. "They always try to steal my sand which. They've got to  have something against me." "How can anyone or anything have something against you? I'm pretty sure that's impossible." I joked around. Duke blushed. "I-I don't really know what to say to that comment." I laughed at what Duke said. "You don't have to say anything to that comment. I already know you like it since you blushed." I winked at him and stood up walking over to the trash can. I didn't hear a response back so I looked back over at Duke. He was blushing and mumbling under his breathe. "Mumbler. Seriously I can't understand a single word your saying." I said to Duke. He stood up from the table grabbing his trash. "Your really having a make Duke blush moment huh?" Duke said while he threw away his trash. "Yup I sure am." I giggled and we started our walk home. "Well your just a bad but little girl." Duke said in his Wonka voice. "Woah that's a little creepy when your not in your Wonka costume." I said while putting my hands up in the air. "So now I know a way I can freak you out." Duke snickered and rubbed his hands together. I fake gasped and put a hand up to my chest. "You wouldn't dare!" I shrieked. "Oh yes I would." Duke said in his Wonka voice again. "Your an evil Wonka!" I shrieked again. Duke just snickered again. "Hey! No more evil Wonka." I joked. "Alright fine no more evil Wonka right now." Duke changed back to his regular voice. "Now? Your not planning on scaring me later are you?" I crossed my arms. "Maybe or maybe not." Duke shrugged his shoulders. "You better not or else you'll be stuck with the nick name evil Wonka." I warned and pointed a finger at him. Duke raised an eyebrow and cracked a smile. "That wouldn't be so bad." I gasped playfully at his response. "It would be bad! Well whats a nick name that you don't like?" I asked. "That wouldn't be too smart if I told you that. If you knew that then you'd black mail me with it." Duke winked and cracked another smile. "Welp so much for that..." I huffed. "So where do you work at?" Duke asked. "I'm actually working as a waitress at a local Mexican restaurant. "Wait. Really? My family loves that place. It's our to go to restaurant." Duke said. "Oh wow. Guess we'll be seeing each other a lot then." I smiled. Duke smiled and nodded. "Yeah I guess so. That's a good thing." We walked up to Dukes drive way. "So um-..." I got caught off two dogs running up to us. The ran up to me and jumped on me wagging their tails. I made an awe noise and bent down. "Sorry about them there a little crazy when they see new people." Duke apologized. "What? No your fine I love dogs." I pet the dogs and they started to lick my face. I giggled and stood back up as they ran over to Duke. "There so adorable." I awed. "I know right." "When do you start working?" Duke asked while standing back up. "I started working next week on Monday." I responded. "Oh I'm sure you'll lobe working there. The people there are so nice." Duke assured me. "Thank god I was freaking out about if I'll like who I'm working with." I let out a sigh of relief. Duke smiled and said "Yeah no need to worry about that. Oh my bad! Would you like to come inside?" Duke asked. "Yeah sure I'd love to come inside." I smiled and nodded. We walked up to his door and he opened it for me. I thanked him and walked in.
