Issues

I'm going, to be honest, I completely forgot about the lunch thing. I take off my name tag and wave to Sam telling her I'm off for my lunch break and don't worry she had hers an hour ago.

I walk out but bump into someone. "Lorenzo? What are you doing here?" I say moving over to the side making some room.

"Lunch?" He mumbles, my eyes widen in realization.

"Oh! Right! Yeah totally..." I rub the back of my neck in embarrassment. We walked over to the diner I recently started to head over to for my lunch breaks.

But this time the walk felt longer than usual only reasoning being the awkwardness between us. "So? What are you going to get?" I say breaking the silence between us.

"I've never been there, so I don't know," he says to me honestly.

Why is he being nice?

I mean assholes can't change overnight.

"Hmm," I hum. We enter the diner.

"My favourite customer," Mr. Smith says to me as we walk over to sit.

"I better be" I giggle.

"The usual?" He replied.

"Yeah, please." I smile.

"And for the gentleman?" he questions. He shrugges his shoulders "same as her?" he says unsure.

"To stay, I assume?"

"yeah," I smile. "Is there a bathroom here?" Lorenzo questions.

"Down the hall" Mr. Smith replies. He nods and gets up from his seat, leaving his phone, accidentally unlocked.

Not even a second later as he leaves his phone dings.

I'm a nosy person...

I peek over and take a look at the message.

'Are you going to take her to dinner like I asked you?' read the message.

Oh.

so he didn't want to do anything like that.

"Make it to go," I yell out, grabbing my wallet. "You got it." Mr. Smith says.

"What's wrong?" Enzo questions.

"I have to head back, sorry," I say. "Not" I mumble. "Oh? I mean then-"

"no, sorry." I say. I walk over to the counter and got my food, and left $7.50 exact dollars on the counter. "Let me-"

"no need" I interrupt him once more. I walk over to the front door. "Oh! And tell your sister-in-law that we decided on lunch instead and it was perfect and went along smoothly" I give him a fake smile and left before anything else.

How'd I know that it was his sister-in-law... well the fucking contact name was 'sister-in-law'

"You're back way too soon. What happened?" Sam questions me. "He is an asshole" I scoff.

Sitting behind the cash register and eating my food. "What happened?" she asks me once more.

"He didn't want to ask me out for lunch, his fucking sister-in-law told him!" I scoff.

"Oh... wow" she mutters. "Amora, you're right he is an asshole" she rolls her eyes.

"Good Morning," Sams says in a chirping voice. "Hey." I mutter. "What's wrong?" she questions me.

"Nothing. Don't worry" I smile at her.
