Was I smiling as I rolled my eyes?

"Yes you were" he answered bluntly, as if knowing what I was thinking

"I didnt say anything" I say glaring at him

"You didnt have to, your a very easy person to read" he remarked "your eyes say it all"

Before I could retort back the waitress came to our table "Hello Luc, surprised to see you here again, wasn't expecting you till tom" the waitress greeted to Lucas very cheerfully, she then turned to me, she gave me the same energy she gave to lucca "I am so sorry I'm Emma, I didnt mean to be rude" she said happily, as she placed her hand out for me to shake, she seemed genuinely, was she being plastic? I wondered.

"Valery" I replied, taking her hand and shaking it

"Hope my brother isn't completely boring you to death, but if he is dont worry, my food will be your savior" she winked playfully, realization hit me, as I picked up on there similarlites

"Cut it out Emma, can we just get 2 orders of blueberry pancakes" Lucas warned to her, I was shocked that he order for me, I am use to Noah ordering for me but that's different, Noah is my husband, Lucas is just.... Lucas.

"Why must you be such a kill joy" she whinned "your order will be right up, Valery good luck with him, try to survive the boredom" her comment made me laugh, she gave me a wink and walked away

"I didnt know you had a sister" I said as I chuckled "and why did you order for me"

"Like I said earlier clearly you dont know me" he smirked "and she is my half sister, we have different mom's, she owns this diner, and made me co-owner even though I ddint help her at all, she refuses to accept any of my money, she's stubborn just like you" he explain, as he smiled "oh and again your eyes say it all princess"

"You seem very proud of her" I complimented, it was nice to see siblings supporting one another

"I am, I only wish she would allow me to contribute" he sighed, as he rubbed his face in stress

"She might just want to prove she can make it without her big brothers money" I expressed to him in an attempt to ease his stress "I may not know her well but, I can see at first glance she is confident and independent women, with will and dedication, just have faith in her" reassuring him, hoping that he would be atease, "I know the feeling of being worried and stressed, especially when I feared Noah's business would not succeed oh so long ago, soon I backed down, I gave him time and space too much space maybe, to spread his wings and fly, and he did" I stated the last sentence saldy "I just didnt think he would fly away from me"

"Hey" his hand reached for mine, his thumb rubbed up in down the side of hands "he can only fly cause he took your wings" he said as if he was trying to convince me "You just need to get them back" he added

Before I could reply, Emma came back to our table, along with our food "Dig in" cheerfully gleming down at the two of us "if there is even just a crumb left on either of your plates, both of you will be doing the dishes understand children" her smile never once left her face as she playfully teased us, she joined us, and we all began to talk ,and joke, the world felt still as we conversed about random topics, even after our food was finished, I didnt feel a second go by

Until the moment came to stop, when a waiter approached us "Ms. Em, sorry to disturb but need your services" he asked hesitantly, Emma turned towards the waiter standing from the booth "there is a girl crying the booth and we dont know what to do" he explained pointing towards where the girl was, our eyes followed the waiters hand in the direction he pointed to, a girl on the other side, her back towards us, hugging herself, trying to calm herself down, even from our table we could hear her sniffles and a small cries escape, my heart ached for her, I stood up from the booth and walked towards her, maybe she wanted to be alone, I know I did, but she doesnt need to be alone, I realize this bevayse of Lucas even though my night did not start out so well, my night became so much better because of him

"Hey honey, are you okay" I asked softly as I neared her table, Emma and Lucas stood beside me, the girl turned towards us, and it was then when I felt like I was suffocating, I was stunned, the feeling of millions of emotions came back, I was left frozen in place

I couldnt bring my self to say anything, neither could she, we stared at each other, tears pouring down her cheek, mine starting to surface, we were probably thinking the same thing

With a heavy heart I spoke, but only one word came out "you"
