Midnight just hit and I effortlessly wiped down the empty tables of Pop's Diner.

Working late night shifts during the week always ran slow because people barely showed up due to their 9 to 5s so it was extremely rare to see anyone step foot into the place at a time like this if they weren't a trucker. Just as finished up the last table I heard the bell chime indicating that someone entered the diner. I put my attention on to a familiar face, a rather handsome man that came in every Tuesday around noon but he didn't show at that time today, well yesterday. As he took a seat I walked behind the counter and headed into the kitchen to wash my hands. After that, I grabbed my small notepad as well as my blue ink pen and walked over to his table. I greeted him with a pleasant smile as I spoke. "Hello", I said as I flipped my notepad open

He responded with a smile before speaking. "Hello", he said as he chuckled at my notepad. "Now you know that you don't need that, I've been coming in every Tuesday for the past few months, I order the same thing everytime", he said gazing at me

I nodded. "Fair enough but I thought you would switch things up since you didn't come in at noon", I said smiling

He smiled. "You're right, I actually came for some of that Apple pie", he said

I flipped my notepad close. " Oh so someone has a sweet tooth for my Apple pie", I spoke playfully

He bit his lip a bit before answering. "I guess so", he said gazing at me in a certain way, such a way I couldn't describe

I smiled. "I'll be back with your pie", I said turning on my heels before walking off.

I walked behind the counter and cut him a big piece of pie. I put it on to a small plate, grabbed a clean fork and walked over to him. I set it down in front of him. "Enjoy", I said softly as I began to walk off before he spoke.

I turned towards him. "What was that", I asked

"I said sit with me", he said smiling

I smiled a bit. "Sure, I'm all done with work anyway", I said as I took a seat in the booth with him

"So what's your name Ms. Lady", he asked as he put a fork full of pie into his mouth

I smiled at how adorable he was. "My name is Rayna, what about you?", I queried out of curiosity

"My name is Tremaine", he said gazing at me

So time went on, we had small talk and he eventually finished up his pie. We stood up from our seats and he spoke. "It was nice talking to you and the pie was great", he said as he reached into his back pocket and pulled out his black wallet.

I nodded as he reached into his wallet and pulled out a 50 dollar bill. I nodded. "No, no it's on the house, plus that is way more than it's worth ", I said

He smirked and took my hand and placed the money inside. "It was that good", he smiled

In response I smiled right before looking at the money in my hand. "Thankyou Tremaine ", I spoke softly. I sighed. "I guess I'll lock up and leave too", I said as I walked off hearing Tremaine saying bye faintly as the diner's bell chimed once he walked out. I turned a bit and said bye as I reached into my pocket, getting ready to call my boyfriend's phone for him to pick me up, I noticed I had a voicemail. I called my voicemail only to hear the most disturbing thing.

"Baby I love you , push harder", a woman moaned from my boyfriend' s cell"...

My heart dropped to my stomach as I became more sad than anything. I walked outside and locked up. It was very cold and I noticed a car parked outside, I squinted my eyes to see that it was Tremaine on his cell. As cold tears streamed down my face, I began my long walk. I then heard a car engine start, knowing that it was Tremaine. He drove on the side of me let his window down and spoke. "Get in, you shouldn't be walkin anywhere, especially at this time of night", he said...
