Actually, I might grab a water. Hold that thought.
[ Given the roughness of his hand, hers felt soft. Yet she gave a firm handshake. He enjoyed the excitement she gave off. Rey seemed genuine and a part of him worried that he'd hurt her given his track record of failed relationships. Nothing said that they couldn't be friends. In the end, that was all he had with Eudora.
He excused himself before getting too deep into his own head. It was bad enough that he'd joined her at the coffee shop and was getting a water. His finances weren't the greatest at the moment but he had no real excuse to decline meeting in a couple of hours besides the painful reality of being broke. All the same, he looked over the menu while in line then pretended he couldn't decide on any of the choices and asked for a water 'to start' with the idea that he'd return for something else.
It also allowed him to get back to Rey sooner. He hoped she might view it that way. Diego held a small smile as he slipped into his seat again. His hands remained on the table with the plastic clear cup of water between them. ]
For the record, I like the rambling. Just don't tell my brother Klaus when you meet him. I get on him a lot for it but that's what brothers do.
[ And it wasn't as if Klaus ever really listend to him but Diego didn't want to dump too much family shenanigans on Rey so soon. Diego held a smirk then continued. ]
It's his fault I was on Tinder. He keeps saying I should meet people so you have him to blame for the terrible post. So you're my first.
[ The crooked grin returned before Diego took a sip of his water, never leaving her eyes with his. ]
