"Sorry" He said winking, we all got out and headed in, "So has it changed much you oldies?" I lunged for him and he squealed, as I got him in a headlock he couldn't get out of, "KEANE"
"Table for 6?" the women asked looking at Noah and I,
"Yes please" Mum said, she nodded curtly and told us to follow her, we did just that, I was pulling Noah along with me, "Keane I think you should let go now" Dad just laughed,
"I will be back in a minute to take your drinks order" she said, looking at Noah and I again strangely before walking off. I let Noah go, he shoved me away playfully,
"Bitch" he said,
"Jerk" I replied grinning. Our parents just rolled their eyes at us. Tayte and Angelo were laughing. True to her word she came back a few minutes later,
"We're good now" Noah said, she nodded not sure what to say,
"Um...can I take your drinks order?"
"Two strawberry and lime ciders please" Tayte said,
"Ice lemon tea and pear cider please" Angelo said,
"Keane we have them so well trained" Noah said, I shook my head smiling,
"You just can't help yourself can you?" I said,
"Not one bit"
"Can I have a glass of prosecco please" Mum said,
"A pint of your finest" Dad then finished,
"Of course and you may go up and help yourself whenever you are ready" and then she darted off in a hurry,
"I bet she wished she didn't have to deal with us" Noah said, "I wonder why that was?"
"Don't ever change peach" Mum told Noah, "Don't ever change"
...
The waitress who we found to be called Mila had bought our drinks over and we had all left the table to get our carvery,
"Turkey, gammon, beef or pork, decisions, decisions" Noah said,
"Babe, if you get two I'll get the other two and we can share" Tayte said,
"I like your way of thinking" I replied,
"Angelo, we're doing that too" Noah said,
"Yes boss"
Our plates were stacked full and Noah's was drowned in gravy, more so because he said his turkey was cold, but really it was because he loved gravy so much he'd drink it as juice if he was allowed.
"I can see why your friend Wendall wanted his birthday here" Noah said,
"I wonder what he's doing right now" I asked,
"We've got our 10 year reunion in 2 years, so I guess we'll find out then" Tayte answered,
"I told you I wasn't going to that" I said,
"Well tough, you are going, even if I have to drag you there screaming"
"You are all so violent today" Mum said,
"It's a daily thing Mum" Noah said in a 'duh' voice,
The rest of the lunch was lovely, the chat ever constant and laughter filled the intervals, basically we were the life and soul of the place and it definitely needed livening up. It had just gone 3.30pm when we'd left all at bursting point,
"I feel like I either need a sleep or a walk" Angelo said,
"I like the sleep part" I said,
"You would," Noah teased,
