"Wow! I haven't been here since I went to University 5 years ago" - He said entering the shady diner.
"That seat is ripped. you're going to have to sit next to me" - She said, approaching the booth and sliding into the seat, invitingly. He sat down, close, their bare legs touching each other ever so slightly.
They each ordered a milkshake and shared a plate of fries. Throughout their conversation, their eye locked on occasion. Feeling comfortable, he put his arm over the back of the booth seat behind her and gently rub his his finger on the top of her back, just diagonal of her neck. They talked some more and even played 2 rounds of thumb war.
Feeling stuffed and tired, they went to the cash, where he paid for the meal, kindly declining her offer to chip in. Outside he grabbed his bike and walked with her a couple of blocks towards her house, moving a couple of block further away from his place.
At the traffic light he stopped, moved his bike out of the way and approached her.
"That was a fun show" - she said looking into his eyes.
"Yeah it was, thanks for coming. You're like my #1 fan" - He said, grabbing her fingers.
"I had fun" - She said, not grabbing back her fingers.
"Me too" - He said, leaning in and giving her a gentle kiss.
"We'll be in touch about the concert on Sunday" - He said and they walked in opposite directions.
"OK" - She said.
He then got on his bike and rode into the night.
Thus concludes Chapter 1 of Elwood and Rock Chick.
