"So, you guys sat there and talked about..the spicy chicken sandwich from Popeyes for h-how long was it?" I asked as I try to hold in my laugh.
Zahaire grabs a chip and dips it into the salsa dip that's in front of us. He bites it and tries to double dip.
"Hey!" I exclaim. "Don't double dip."
Zahaire rolls his eyes and grabs another chip, putting more salsa on it then the last one.
"Yes, we talked about the amazing salad dressing they had, the sauce on that sandwich, and a lot of other things. It was so much fun! She asked me when we would have another date, I'm a bit nervous about our next date cause like I gotta do somethin' better than the first one and-!"
Zahaire keeps rambling on about how he's nervous and what not.
Our food comes out. I ordered their Chicken Cajun Pasta and Zahaire ordered chicken tenders.
I grab my fork and start to eat my pasta.
"So," Zahaire says as I look up at him. "What did you do while I was out and about?"
My cheeks heat up and I break eye contact with Zahaire.
"Uh, nothing much, just went to the student cafe." I lie.
Zahaire raises an eyebrow at me.
"You're lying to me, what'd you actua-?" Zahaire asked.
He's interrupted by a middle aged woman dressed in a bright blue, red, yellow, and black tie dyed shirt. She has on bright blue pants to match.
She slides into the booth next to Zahaire.
"Meet me in the back alleyway in 10 minutes." Is all she says. "Unless you want innocent people to get hurt, I suggest you listen to me or Iphegenia will be upset and people will die.."
The woman walks away and I look at Zahaire.
"Should we go?" Zahaire asked in a whisper.
"What do you think, Zaharia?" I ask in a normal volume I say this next part in a whisper. "You want innocent people to die?"
We both agree to pack up and pay for our food. I look at my phone and see it's 8:45 and I let out a sigh.
It's too early for this shit.
As discreetly as possible, we make our way to the back alleyway located behind the Chilli's.
The woman from before is standing there and she has a kid with her.
"Good, you made the right choice," the woman smirks.
Both the kid and the woman begin to change.
What used to be the middle aged woman is a light purple alien. The little boy changes into a dark pink alien.
One of them is short and has a nice swirl design around their eyes.
"What do you guys want?" Zahaire asked. "We don't want anyone to get hurt."
