1. Hit or Miss

Chapter Eleven

We came upon a booth and it wrapped around a larger octagon table. Danny slid in first and I followed. Suzy then climbed in and Arin after her. Ross and Barry rock-paper-scissor-ed for outside seat. The menus were already waiting and Danny grabbed one and fanned it between us. Arin poked his head passed Suzy and claimed he was the "Personal Space Pirate." Suzy eventually got him back on his own side as Dan and I chuckled at him.

"Alright, [Y/N], million dollar question!" Danny had his thumb out pretending it was a mic and sounded like an announcer on a game show, "What is your favorite, Chinese dish?" he smiled as I had to think about it.

"I bet you it's something lame, like she only likes the rice!" Arin joked and I stuck my tongue out at him over Dan's "mic".

"Actually I have a tie between the pepper steak and sweet and sour chicken, duh!" I watched Arin lean back faking he was appalled. Danny shook his head and smiled.

"I said choose one, no ties!" Dan reminded me and I made a face that said I was frustrated having to choose.

"Okay fine, sweet and sour chicken!" I put my face in my hands and Dan chuckled.

"Sauce on it or on the side?" He shot back, and I heard Arin crack up, along with Barry.

"Dude, I prefer the inside!" Arin couldn't help himself and Suzy play hit him while he tried to high-five Barry and Dan.

"I knew it was coming!" Dan said laughing and then Arin got red and bursted out laughing harder, "Fuck! Damn-god-goddamnit now it's begun!" Dan threw his hands up as the menu fell flat. I was red in the face from laughing and noticed Suzy even couldn't help it! The waitress came over to us slowly and Dan nudged for me to answer.

"Uh-uh side!" I spat out and he nodded. He looked over to the lady who smiled sweetly at him. He gave her a smoldering look and I rolled my eyes. Here we go.

"Hello beautiful, her and I will be sharing a kettle of tea and an order of sweet and sour chicken with extra chicken. Please keep the sauce on the side?" his voice grew sensual and I looked at him odd but he stuck with the look so I shook my head again and looked to Suzy. She was just as unimpressed as I was. Arin was looking away at Barry who was giggling.

"Sure, uh, sir, did you want rice as well?" She looked only to Dan and he shrugged.

"Please could we?" I said quietly and she nodded still glancing at Dan who leaned forward clearly seeing how uncomfortable he could make her. She scribbled on her pad and turned to Suzy whom ordered for her and Arin. Arin at this point looked up to see the waitress still noticing Dan burning a hole in her head. He glanced to Dan and smiled while trying to keep from losing it. Barry asked about the special and then chose it for him with an eggroll. Ross forgot what he wanted and took him a minute to find it when he was getting stir-fry that had vegetables only. The waitress smiled awkwardly and Dan cleared his throat one last time so she looked at him and he nodded playfully at her and watched her blush. She walked away shaking her head and I lost it.

"God I love that!" Arin hit his hand on the table laughing loudly.

"It works everytime! They always get so like curious but then terrified as I just stare at them like they're my item of infatuation!" Dan leaned back and rested his arm above the seat and continued to laugh with Arin. I looked up at him and tilted his head and noticed I was confused.

"I don't get it-" Suzy put her hand up and shook her head.

"Don't try, he does it every time we have a female waitress, one wouldn't come back she was scared Dan would take her on the table." Suzy glared as Dan looked so proud.
