What's Wrong With Me?

Part 9 - The Appointment

L: please don't mess it up!, she begged as they reached the front of the line.

T: I've got this, he teased, squeezing her hand.

T: good day, he greeted the worker.

Worker: good day welcome to Rorii's what would you like to have?

T: two beef tacos with hot sauce and lettuce and one chicken taco with extra ketchup, a handful of lettuce and some tomatoes, he said.

L: and no mayo!, she whispered.

T: oh and no mayo please, he added.

Worker: would you like anything to drink? We have water, coke, sprite, fanta and orange juice, she listed.

L: coke babe please!, she whispered.

T: two medium sized cokes please.

Worker: alright, your total is $75.99. Are you paying with cash or card?

T: card.

Worker: okay here is the machine, she said, sliding the machine towards him.

Tim paid and gave the machine back to the worker.

Worker: thank you, your food will be ready in about twenty minutes here is your number, she told them, giving them their receipt.

T: thank you, he said before walking away with Lucy.

L: let's sit here while we wait, she said, setting down her bag on a table.

T: I'm so excited!, he said as they settled in their seats.

L: for tacos?, she joked.

T: the appointment baby!

L: I know baby, she giggled.

T: we're literally going to see our little star for real! It's so exciting!, he said with a grin.

L: I know baby I know, she said, giggling at his excitement.

T: I still can't believe that there is a whole human growing inside of you as we speak!

L: well you better believe it baby, she chuckled before looking away from him.

T: are you excited? You seem a bit- I don't know, he asked.

L: I am, I am, she said quickly.

L: just a bit nervous. I don't even know what they have to do, she said, and followed it with a nervous laugh.

T: it will be okay. I'll be right there next to you!, he reassured her, reaching for her hand across the table.

T: we're in this together right, he said sweetly, holding her hand in his.

L: thank you babe, really, she said, her voice full of emotion.

Then they heard someone shouting.

Worker: order number 67 order number 67!, he called.

T: here!, he said, putting up his hand.

Tim took their food and brought it back to Lucy.

T: okay baby, I got the food let's go, he said.

Tim and Lucy made their way to Tim's truck. They sat in the backseat so they would have more space to put everything.

T: alright, dig in, he joked, placing the bag of food in the middle of them.

L: here you go baby, she said, handing him his straw.

T: thank you.

L: how much more time do we have?, she asked, taking a sip of her drink.
