Reaching the restaurant finally, Dane pulled into the dirt lot next to it. He had to agree with Arne, none of them smelled too fresh. He walked into the small diner.
“I need to wash up. Order me a—” Dane found that all of his capacity to form logical thoughts had fled his brain. He stood numbly in the middle of the door, staring at her, his first childhood crush.
Tani Johnston stood at one of the tables laughing with the customers while she took their order. She was just as stunning as he remembered her with her long black hair and caramel-colored eyes. As if in slow motion, she looked up at him, her smile lighting up her whole face.
“Dane Ulvmand? That can’t be you, you’re all grown up. Hey, Arne. Is this giant Erik?” she walked over to them as Dane stood frozen in place.
“Hey, Tani,” Arne answered, jabbing an elbow in Dane’s ribs. “I heard you had moved back to town. Didn’t I mention it?” he said with a smirk at Dane.
“No, Arne. You didn’t.” Dane shook his head, clearing his brain so he could speak. It was probably more of a grunt, but whatever.
“You still drink Coke, Dane?” she asked.
“Hmm,” he answered, nodding his head. Okay, that was also a grunt. He would have to do something to gain control of his vocabulary so he didn’t continue to sound like an idiot around her. “Yes. Grab a table,” he said to Arne before turning toward the restroom.
Once he was locked inside, he wanted to bang his head against the mirror until it broke. This was Arne’s fault. He should bang his brother’s head against the mirror. How could he not warn him that Tani was back in town? Jackass.
Tani had been that perfect girl when Dane was growing up. She was in Roar’s class in school, but Dane had a crush on her his entire junior high school career.”
Tani was one of those girls who was not only beautiful, but kind. She was a cheerleader, homecoming queen, basketball player, prom queen, academic decathlete, FFA queen, top of her class, and even more queen titles. But she was never the typical stuck-up that came with it. Tani was nice to everyone, including a freakishly large junior high kid.
Dane couldn’t even count the number of times he had raced from the junior high to the diner just so Tani would bring him a Coke. He would grin stupidly at her until Roar finally tracked him down, ripping him out of the diner to go home.
Twelve years later, he shouldn’t still be struck dumb seeing her, yet here he was.
