Owen smirked at her when she placed her own sunglasses over her face. His eyebrow lifted rising above the frame of his own glasses. “I like those sunnies girl.” He complimented her easily and grabbed her knee playfully when he did so.
They didn’t speak really otherwise during the car ride. On the walk into the restaurant he noted the way her tail had expanded in size. Hair sticking out like a cartoon character having been shocked with electricity. His arm swept around her shoulders, “I’m sorry, did my driving make you nervous, k-uh Julianna?” He almost called her kitten just then. For some reason, Owen policed the nickname that almost floated right out of him.
When had that happened? He couldn’t pinpoint a moment when he’d thought up the name. It just came to him when he saw she was upset. Odd.
Owen surveyed the menu while Julianna complained about him having sat next to her. He didn’t care. Let her. “Nah, it’s fine. I’m comfortable.” He responded absent-mindedly, as if she had expressed concern for whether he was enjoying their seating arrangement.
“Look at this selection!” He remarked with wonder. Owen leaned close to her crowding the menu she had in front of her. His index finger ran down the ridiculous amount of toppings one could choose to build a hamburger with. “You can get a fried egg on your burger. Or peanut butter and jelly.”
He wrinkled his nose, not finding those choices appetizing. Owen returned to his personal space, then. “I just stick with the cheese burger, how about you?”
It almost felt like … they were on a date. Well, that is if she wasn’t so begrudging and grumpy about it. But, he didn’t mind. He liked it.
