Chapter 11

The question now is, what should i talk about in photography?

I tried thinking of anything interesting related to it but I couldn't figure out what to say.

Adam why do you have to be this boring?

I sigh and wished myself luck in asking Adam about photography.

"Basil chicken with vermicelli." The waiter says while holding a plate as she cuts me off from my thoughts.

"Yes that's mine."

"Chicken cacciatore casserole." She says Adams's order which was in another plate.

I nodded as I gestured for her to put the plate on Adams side of the table.

She drops his food and goes.

I look round to see if Adam was coming but he wasn't.

How long do guys stay in the bathroom. I did not want to start eating my meal because I found it rude, so I decided to wait for him to get back.

I start playing temple run on my phone to distract me from the delicious looking food.

After dying like five times on temple run, I look at the food.

I give up. I am going to eat it right away.

I turn round to see if Adam was coming but he wasn't.

Well I might start eating, I don't care anymore.

I take my time to eat the heavenly made food until a waiter appears beside me.

"Need anything else?" She asked.

I smile at her and shake my head before downing into my food.

I am almost done eating and Adam is not here.

Where has he been?

I send a message to him on Facebook and decided to wait for his reply.

Twenty minutes has passed and he has not replied neither has he come back.

I finish my food before I rest my back on the chair.

I start to get worried about Adam. I really hope I wasn't getting date dumped.

I take my phone and start playing temple run again.

'10% battery mode' pops up while I play the game.

I start to get more worried as I send a message to Adam.

I leave my phone on the table as I await his reply.

Screw it.

I pick up my phone and call Adam.

The phone rings.

No answer.

I try again.

The phone rings.

No answer.

I was about to try the last time until my battery decided to die.

Noooo.

Did somebody curse me this night?

A male waiter passes by and I stop him.

"Please could you help me go to the gent's bathroom to see if a guy with black spiky hair and round eyes." I knew I wasn't explaining well. "He's wearing a black blazer and brown chinos."

He smiles and nods his head as he walks away.

I patiently wait for the waiter to be back.

After two minutes I turn to see the waiter coming back to my table.
