You have got to be kidding me?!
"Hello what may I get you guys this evening." Anthony asked. Right there and then I wanted to shoot myself. Anthony was my waiter. And I'm with my parents. Great. Super.
"We will get a large pie, half pineapple and half pepperoni." Anthony wrote everything down on a little pad. He looked at me and mouthed something. I couldn't really understand what he said. So he left to the counter to tell the chef our order. I turned to look back at my mother.
"Mom I'll be right back." I got up from my seat and went to the counter. Anthony was ignoring me because he looked at me then walked away.
"Excuse me I'm here to order a drink." That's when Anthony looked at me.
"What do you want to drink?" He asked.
"I would like a strawberry shake with whip cream and an explanation on why you are here on the side." I looked at him. He laughed a bit. Then he went to go make my drink. I rolled my eyes. He came back with the drink in his hand.
"Is that all you need miss?" Miss? Since when does he call me miss.
"Uh yeah, I asked for an explanation." He scoffed and walked away. Nuh uh we not doing this again. "Anthony?" I called for him.
"How can I help you?"
"Ima order drinks for my family." He simply nodded his head and grabbed his note pad. "One coke and two waters." He wrote it down and went inside the kitchen. That did not go how I expected. I went back to my table with my parents and Julie.
"What took you so long?" Julie asked. Shit. I left her alone with my parents. Great Trinity what an amazing friend.
"Sorry, I had an upset tummy." I rubbed my stomach a bit. Soon enough the food came.
"Here is your food. Whenever you need anything ring this buzzer." Anthony pointed at a buzzer on the table.
"Thank you," my mom said, "what's your name?" uh oh why does she want his name.
"Anthony mam." he responded.
"Can I speak with the manager please." He nodded and headed back to what I assumed was the office.
"Mom what are you doing?" I looked at her in disbelief.
"He has a horrid stench on him." I rolled my eyes.
"Are you serious he is a waiter for god sake."
"Are you his girlfriend that you care so much." I nodded my head no. Julie held onto my hand under the table. I looked at her and smiled. The manager approached our table.
"Is there a problem here?" He asked.
"yes, that waiter Anthony he was talking to my daughter." My eyes popped open. What is wrong with this women. I looked at her and she had a smirk on her face.
"Anthony? He talked to your daughter." he asked and pointed at Anthony. I felt so bad. He looked at me. I mouthed "I'm sorry" to him. He just smiled and looked ahead.
"Yes, he was flirting with her." She crossed her arms and looked pissed off.
"Miss it's not that serious. And-"
"NOT THAT SERIOUS ARE YOU KIDDING ME HE COULD OF TOUCHED HER OR KISSED HER OR DONE MANY OTHER THINGS AND FOR YOU IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS! YOU SHOULD GET FIRED TOO. WHERE IS YOUR MANAGER! HUH I DEMAND FOR THE OWNER-"
"MOM!" I yelled and looked at her. The stupidest thing came out of my mouth. "HE WAS FLIRTING BECAUSE HE'S MY BOYFRIEND!" Everyone stood quiet. I looked around the table. Julie's jaw dropped. My dad's jaw dropped. My mom looked like she was gonna murder me. And Anthony just smiled at me. His dimples make him look so cute and inn- what the fuck Trinity get your shit together.
"What did you just say?" My mom tilted her head and looked at me with anger. "Dinner here is done. Trinity get in the car. Julie I'm sorry but we can't drive you home." My jaw dropped.
"Mom we can't just leave Julie. I invited her so I'm taking her home." I got up from my table and dragged Julie to the girls room.
"Wait, so you and him are dating?" She looked at me. I just breathed. I wish I could tell her what happened. "SINCE WHEN???" Julie wasn't mad at all. She looked kinda happy for me. I guess.
"No Julie *sigh* we are not dating. I just said that to make my mom shut up." She fake pouted. I laughed. "Let's wait in here a couple minutes till I make sure my parents have left." We ended up waiting there for 15 almost 20 minutes. I looked at my phone and saw that it was 8:43 pm. Shit. "I'll walk you home now." I looked at her and we both made our way outside the restroom. Anthony stood in front of us. He didn't have his uniform on.
"I'll take you guys home. I can drive, plus it's really late and dark outside." Julie just nodded her head and went on his side and looked at me. Damn it she had puppy eyes.
"Come on Trinity, my feet ache." She complained. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Okay fine, just this once tho." I said. Julie skipped her way towards Anthony's car. To be honest his car wasn't a bad car. It was clean and smelled nice.
"Okay who am I taking home first." Julie shot her hand up.
"Me first. My neighbor called me 4 times." I looked at her with a confused face. "Oh my neighbor is kinda like my family. They watch after me." I nodded my head. Julie gave Anthony her address. The car ride was a bit quiet. We played some music really low tho. And in about 20 to 30 minutes we got to Julie's home. I checked my phone. It was now 9:32 pm. Me and Julie said our goodbyes and she thanked Anthony and went inside her shared living space.
"Where do you live?" I scoffed.
"You weirdo. You know my address." I looked at him and he just clenched his fist. He just started the car and started driving. I was so tired I didn't want to fall asleep.
"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." He said and at that I knocked out in his car. The smell of his car was nice and I was smiling.
I felt someone carrying me. I shot my eyes open. I was in Anthony's arms. He was carrying me bridal style. "Anthony," I mumbled. He hummed in response. "My room is on the second floor second door to the left. My keys are in my pocket." He just kept walking and made it to my doorstep. He took out my keys and opened my door. He walked me up to my room and layed me down on the bed. "Thank you," I wrapped myself in my blankets and closed my eyes. I hear the door close. So I closed my eyes for real and dozed off a bit. Then I heard my front door closing. My phone buzzed.
