Alcohol.
Chapter 7
I woke up at around noon the next day when Jeff unwrapped his
arms around me and went into the bathroom. I laid in bed quietly
until he came back. He smiled when he saw me, "Did I wake
you up?" He asked. I stretched my arms, "I was up
anyway. Want me to make you some food?"
"I was thinking of taking you out to eat. But if you wanna
cook that's fine."
"I don't wanna cook actually," I laughed,
"Yeah. Wanna take my car or is your car back at your
house?"
"I'll drive. But I'm gonna go get ready, I'll be
back in half an hour."
"Want me to walk you out?" I asked.
"Nah, it's okay." He walked over to me and kissed
my cheek, "Thanks for last night. I needed it." He
whispered low into my ear.
I smiled, "Anytime. It was nice talking." He nodded
then walked out of the door. I got up and started getting ready.
I brushed my teeth and combed out the crazy birds nest that was
my hair, then I curled huge chunks of my hair into simple, big
curls. I decided on a black neff beanie with a simple black
cropped tank top, distressed jean shorts, and all black
chucks. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=114199544 It
was simple and cute. I had finished doing my mascara when I heard
the doorbell ring. A few moments later I heard somebody let
themselves in, "Bree! Are you ready yet?" I heard
Jeff's voice. I grabbed my cell phone and money then went
downstairs.
"Readdddy!" I said and threw my hands into the air like
a diva.
He laughed at me, "Let's get going." He said. We
got into the car and he drove off.
"Sooo. What do you wanna do on this fine Saturday?"
Jeff said.
I shrugged, "Show me this city. I haven't seen much
since I arrived here... Yesterday."
He laughed, "I kinda forgot I only met you
yesterday."
"Yeah. I feel like we've known each other our whole
lives."
"Same." He smiled at me. "So. Let's go out to
eat, then I'll take you to the fair that's going on
downtown."
I smiled, "Sounds perfect."
There was an awkward silence for a few moments but then he pulled
into an old fashioned looking diner. He came around, opened my
door, and walked me inside. There was waitresses with big hair on
roller blades and checkered booths. It felt like I was in a movie
from the 70's. "This is adorable." I said.
"I knew you'd like it. It's been opened since the
50's and nothings changed much since then." A waitress
rolled towards us and came to a stop, "Booth or table?"
She asked.
"Booth." Jeff said and we followed the rolling waitress
to our table.
"What can I get you guys to drink?" She
asked.
"Get us 2 of the house shakes." Jeff said before I
could answer. "You're gonna get the real experience from
this restuarant." He said before I could object.
"Okay. 2 house shakes, I'll be right back to take your
order."
"You're gonna love it. Trust me." He said, smiling
at me.
"What if I don't like shakes." I said.
"You're gonna like these."
I brushed it off my shoulders and looked at the menu. When the
waitress came back and set down our shakes I looked up and saw a
cup bigger than my face with ice cream that was running down the
side of the cup and homemade whipped cream. I was in awe.
"Bree! Did you hear what I said?" Jeff asked.
"No, what." I said looking up.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Oh. Can I have the bacon cheese sliders, can I get those
plain, with cheese fries." I smiled and handed the waitress
my menu. She walked away.
"Sooo. What do you think of your shake?" He
asked.
"I'm gonna need a booster seat just to drink it." I
heard Jeff laugh.
"You are pretty short." He said.
I shrugged, "5'0 isn't short."
"Nooo. It is short. I'm 6'4."
"Yeah, you're just too tall." I said, sticking my
tongue out at him.
He laughed, "You're cute." He said.
"But really. How am I supposed to drink this." I
whined.
"I don't know, figure it out." He said smiling at
me.
I quickly stood up and sat on my knees which gave me the boost I
needed to reach my straw. I took one long drink, it was one of
the best things I've ever tasted. "OMG." I
said.
He laughed, "You have whipped cream on your nose." He
said.
I touched my nose, "Where?" I asked.
All of the sudden his hand reached over the booth and touched my
face, I felt something cold dripping down towards my mouth.
"There." He started laughing in the booth at my
expression. I grabbed some whipped cream and quickly flung it
over towards him. It hit him in the cheek. "Don't mess
with me." I said.
"Come get this off! Right now." He said in between
giggles.
"Make me." I said. He walked around too my side and
stood in front of me, I curled up in the corner. He grabbed more
whipped cream and came face to face with me. "Get it off now
or you're gonna pay." He said.
"Um. Excuse me." We heard a voice say. We looked up to
see our waitress with our food and an unemotional expression.
Jeff licked his fingers then got out of her way and sat on his
side. We both started laughing as soon as she left and wiped off
the whipped cream ourselves. We started eating and talking, just
having a great time. When we were finished and got our bill, I
pulled out a $20. "No. It's my treat." He said
putting down a credit card.
