Thread: [KylarStern & Tortoise] Dancing With Myself;;

She had leaned into his hand when he had cupped her face. It had been very difficult for him to pull away. But he had? only to have her grab his wrist and press his hand against her cheek one more time. He had been a little surprised at that? but even more so when she had kissed him. It would have been so easy for him to have turned his head ever so slightly and returned the kiss? lip to lip. He might??ve done it too, if the action hadn??t so been unexpected. He had been rooted to the spot. Even as she practically dragged him into the deli, he could still feel her hand at the back of his neck. All of a sudden it was as if the sun had burst forth from behind the clouds and was shining down just on him. He was still basking in its warmth as he came to stand beside her. She was scanning the menu. There were a few booths here, and they could have themselves a little meal right there. ??Oh, let??s eat here!? he nearly grinned as he realized this was turning into quite the date! It had been a while since he??d gone on a date himself. For a while he??d tried it, but quit when he realized he was trying to find her in every one of them. And none ever matched up to his ideal woman. It had been hopeless. ??You left me AND cheese burgers?!? he grinned. It was not everyday he could smile about the divorce. But somehow, having her here right now and realizing that there was still ??something?? between them, no matter whether or not it would grow into something more, had put him in a much better mood than he??d been in a long time. ??Cheeseburger it is then!? he smiled as he ordered the same for himself. And a diet coke to go with it, ??How about you? what will you have to drink?? He saw an old jukebox by the back wall and left her for a moment as he went to select a song. He flipped through the selection and stopped when he saw one particular number. It was kind of a surprise to find it here and he was grinning as he punched it in. As the first few strains of The Temptations singing ??My Girl?? broke through the silence he turned to look at her with a little grin. He went back to her and picking up the tray with their lunch, he herded her to one of the booths. He didn??t know what it was about this song that it always made him feel a little happier. And soon enough he was grinning away like a silly school boy bobbing his head in time as he hummed the tune. He took a sip of his coke and asked, suddenly thinking of it, ??So where are you staying by the way? Have you found an apartment yet?? Most of the neighborhood was occupied by students and faculty anyways. It was always tough finding a place if you came in during the middle of the year. He himself had a little apartment not far from here. It wasn??t much, but it was cozy. And it wasn??t like there was anybody else living with him, nor did he bring anyone over to his place. He had become a very private person over the last few years. He had a few acquaintances here, but not too many friends. A couple of regulars at the pub always welcomed him at their table whenever he??d drop by. Seeing as how there were always students about the place, it wasn??t a very good idea to be a wild party animal around these parts anyways. And it pretty much suited him fine.
