Jeni Lee entered slowly as she glanced around. The place was bare, unlike the many diners back home. She found a nearby table alone in the corner. She sauntered over and sat down, sitting her bag that contained her books near her. She was clad in her usual apparel; an American Eagle blouse, a denim mini-skirt, and her dark hair was down and flipped outward at the ends. Her face was made even more beautiful by makeup that she had carefully applied earlier that morning. She looked at the menu as she chewed on her glossed lips as she decided. She finally decided on a garden salad. She glanced around trying to find someone to take her order.

The pot clashed to the floor and he responded with a sigh.Stupid cooking.Hey he loved cooking,just not when it was trying to fight back.Putting the pot back on the shelf he emerged from the kitchen.He wore his normal attire,a flannel shirt,jeans and a backward baseball cap placed atop his head.Optics scanned the diner and landed on the girl.Grabbing the order pad he made his way to her table. "What can I get you." he asked,absently pulling his sleeves up to his elbow.He lifted the black ink pen from his shirt pocket.His face was normal,almost expressionless,but still there was something there.Though most had no clue what it was-neither did he.

Jeni smiled politely. "Ummm...just a garden salad and a diet Coke." she said, her words soft, almost to quiet to distinguish. She brushed her dark hair behind her shoulders and she crossed her legs. She sighed lightly as she returned the menu to its orginal place. She was bored...and a bit tired. She'd been going since very early that morning. She had to feed her horses, walk Snowman, and then get ready and go to school. She looked so put together, but in truth, she was scattered between jobs.

Luke nodded,scribbling the order down in a neat scrawl."It`ll be out in a few minutes." he said,tearing off the order and placing it on the table.He stuck the order pad in its usual spot,down the front of his jeans .(not dirty..gosh) then headed to the kitchen to start the order/

Jeni nodded as she pulled out a notebook and a law textbook out of her bag. She flipped to the middle of the book and began to read it slowly and then began writing down notes. She had a paper due in a week and it was such a hard assignment that she focused her attention on it in her free time. She chewed on her bottom lip as she hurriedly jotted down bits and pieces of the text.

Luke brought out her order a few mintues later. "Here you go." he said,setting the plate and cup down on the table.

"Thanks..." she said softly, sliding her books away, accidently dropping one to the floor, making a loud bang. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" she said suddenly, bending to pick up her book.

Luke jumped and reached up to touch the brim of his cap,it was backward,in a nervous gesture.He recovered and shook his head."Oh..its`s fine." he reached down to pick up the book as well,not realizing she was doing the same.

As she realized that he was getting the books, she returned to her upright position. "Err...thank you." she said softly. She was normally very outgoing, but today her mind was wrapped tightly around so many things. She ran a hand nervously through her dark hair and smiled politely.

Luke closed his hand around the book and straightened up ,placing it on the table."No problem." he said awkwardly.He adjusted the strap of his cap,it had become crooked when he bent down.

She smiled nicely and extended her hand. "I'm Jeni Lee." she commented. She used her other hand to push her hair away from her face.

Luke looked at her for a moment,clicking the face with the name.Barely even a pause really.He shook her hand."Luke." Simple name,simple clothes,complex man.

Jeni smiled. "Nice to meet you Luke." she said, a bit of a southern accent shining through her words. "So..you work here?" she asked, striking conversation.

"Actually I own the place." Words were gruff,deep and soothing.They sounded how he looked.His appearance was a bit gruff,a bit of shadow from the stubble on his face but not a true beard.His eyes were deep and had the appearance of someone who was tired of looking.Looking for what ? Well that`s just another question."My nephew helps out every so often." he said,a tinge of parental pride slipping into his voice.That kid was so good despite how fucked up his mother was.It almost amazed him.

"Oh, that's impressive. Makes me seem even more immature." she said with a laugh. "I'm in school at the moment...Law School." She said, gesturing to her textbooks. She smiled politely, as she usually wore a smile anyway.

Luke gave her something that could be called a smile.He really wasn`t the smile type of person."Nah..Law School." he let out a breath." That`s impressive." He shifted,fists curled in at his sides.

"Not so many people think so." she said with a sigh. She did wish people would take her more seriously, but to everyone else she was little Jeni Lee, the little Rich brat that got whatever she wanted, rather it be law school or a modeling career. She rolled her eyes as she thought of the sterotype she had been given.

Luke gave a sort of odd laugh." Those people are idiots.I`d kill for any kind of education.I graduated high school at that was it."He shifts,pulling at the brim of his cap.

"Education isn't everything...but it means a lot." she said softly, taking a sip of coke.

"Yeah..it does." he agreed softly.His family never had any college education,and his father had been holding it on his shoulders to pull through and attend-he certainly ad the smarts for it-but then he died,and Luke`s world was shattered.

"My family influenced me a whole lot." she said with a smile. Suddenly, her conversation was interrupted with the ringing of a cellular phone.

Luke nodded."Yeah." he said softly,but his eyes narrowed at the ring of the phone.He hated cellphones,and they were really not supposed to be in his diner.He turned and headed back to the counter.
occ-If thats her cell phone then yay I got it right.if not tell me and i can change his reaction xD/

OOC: Yeah, it was hers.
She frowned lightly. She thought the phone had been turned off. She turned to him and smiled apologetically. "I'm sooooo sorry, I thought it was off. And it's my...uh...friend...and he only calls when it's an emergency you see...well, I have to go." she said nervously, her voice shaking. The tone of her voice obviously let go of the emotion she was trying to keep hidden. She closed the phone and shoved it in her pocket. She nervously picked up her books and placed them in her bag.

He crossed his arms around his chest and nodded."Yeah,okay." he said,shuffling around in back of the counter.The ketchup had to be here somewhere.He could have sworn he just got some in.Eyes raised discreetly as he watched her,hoping everything was okay.

Jeni chewed her bottom lip as she slung her bag on her shoulder. She half smiled as she made her way to the door. She peered out the window as she opened the door. She made her way to her car as a light rain misted down on her. She hoped that he wouldn't come...she hoped he didn't really know where she'd settled. Part of the whole reason she moved was to get away from Carson. He wasn't a good person. Then she saw something... "Oh no..." she whispered to herself. She locked her car back and made her way back into the resteraunt.
