"Hello how may I help you?" a lady questions with a bright smile in front of our table.
"You may help us by getting us some food" Slade retorts.
I shoot him a glare.
"I apologize for my friend's rudeness. He has a condition" I excuse.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he snorts.
"Shut up Slade!" I order quickly giving the lady a smile.
"What will you like to order?" the lady nicely asks.
"I'll have a burger, some fries, and do you have dessert?" Slade questions.
She nods.
"We have cake, cinnamon buns, cheese cake, flan, and donuts" she lists.
"Cool I'll have flan. What is that exactly?" he questions.
Is Slade dum?
"One of the most delicious spanish desserts ever!" I fill in.
"Nu uh. It's rice pudding" he argues.
"You want flan. He wants flan" I state.
The lady nods.
"I was gonna order that anyway so joke is on you" he sticks his tongue out at me.
I laugh.
"Umm I'll have some fried chicken, with a side of fries, a slushy, and yeah that's it" I order next.
"Claire?" I question.
She examines the menu one last time.
"I'll just have salad" she informs.
"Anything else?" the lady questions after writing our order down.
"No" I shake my head.
"Very well. I'll be right back with your orders in a few minutes" she states.
"Thank you!" I call out.
Silence fills the air between us three.
I watch as Slade stares Claire down.
She squirms under his uncomfortable gaze.
"Do you have an eating disorder?" Slade questions breaking the silence.
I slap his arm.
"Um no" Claire replies nervously.
"Are you on some diet? Cuz let me tell you, you're not getting skinner than that. Unless you want to look like a toothpick" he speaks honestly.
"Slade!" I snap.
"Grace!" he mocks.
"Keep your rude comments to yourself" I demand.
"Rude comments? More like facts" he snorts.
"Ok!" Claire blurts out.
She lets out a sigh.
"Clearly I'm not wanted here so I think I should just go" she replies.
"Nice seeing ya" Slade waves grinning.
"No!" I shout.
"Please. Can we just sit and eat without being at each other's throats?" I ask.
"Can you do that for me?" I ask Slade in particular.
He sighs.
"Sorry" he mumbles.
Claire sits back down unwillingly.
