The Becoming of Us

Reese: Mr.Blackbourn

Me: hey mister I'm on my way now sorry I didn't text you back, something came up.

Justin: Its Okay I'm About 20 min Away

Me: Bet I'll be there in about that time, if you're there before me blueberry waffles all the way.

Justine: I Remember What You Like. Be Safe.

I smile down at my phone as I walk to my car, a black Mercedes that my dad got me for graduation last year. It was another one of his attempts to apologize to me for not being around. Including the apartment building I was living in, it was rent free because of him. Although it allowed me to save a load of money, I didn't want to continue using his money, and I wanted to get an apartment of my own soon. I bet my dad's wife would be happy that he won't be "spoiling an ungrateful brat anymore." Her words, not mine.

I drove out of the parking garage heading to meet Justin. It was a retro diner but it had the best blueberry waffles in the city.

As I park in the parking lot of the diner Justin red Ferrari pulls up next to me. I get out of my car leaning on the door,waiting for him to get out.

"Hey!" Justin says as he gets out of the car.

I smile at him and walk over to the driver side and hug him. He hugs me back pulling me close to him.

"Mmm, I like what you're wearing today."

I hit his arm, "Behave Justin," I say pointing to his chest smiling up at him.

"Yes, ma'am, you ready to go over these designs and renovations."

We start to walk towards the entrance, "Yeah, Mr. Blackbourn is looking for something that says bachelor but also ready to settle down," turning around and walking backwards my eyes go wide as I say, "his father wants him to get married soon, or at least have a serious girlfriend."

We get to the entrance of the restaurant and get seated in a booth, Justin spreads out the designs that we chosens to present to Mr. Blackbourn and also the renovations we plan on making. I hear someone clear their voice and we both look up to see our waitress. She was model thin with long flowy blonde hair that reached her waist. She had gorgeous bright blue eyes. With pouty pink lips. She was beautiful and she knew it.

"Hi, what are you having today?" she asks, smiling at Justin.

Justin looks up at her and smiles back," I'll have a waffle with two slices of bacon and a coke."

"Right away sir," she says, winking at him as she's about to walk away.

"Um, excuse me, can I order?" I ask, giving her a tight smile.

She whips her head around to me, as if she just noticed me for the first time, and sneers at me. "And you?" she says with disgust.

"I'll take a blueberry waffle, a coffee, with a side of a new attitude from you," I say, giving her an overly fake smile.

She looks me up and down and rolls her eyes and walks away. I turn back to Justin, seeing that he is barely holding in a laugh. I frown a bit and ask, "What?"

"You know you didn't have to treat her like that, she just didn't see you that's all."

My frown deepens, If Kyler was here, he would've told her that she needs to treat me with respect, the same as he was being treated with.

"Yeah, whatever, my bad."

"Don't be like that."

"Be like what?"
