Tonight I'm going out to a restaurant in town with my family, it's my first time there and it has great reviews. We're leaving in an hour so i better hurry, I flicked on the switch and started curling my hair for this nice occasion. I put on some nice blue jeans with a white graphic hoodie and my converse shoes. I looked through the mirror coating my lips in bright red lipstick and painted my eyelashes with my expensive mascara. Only 15 minutes left, "shit" I whispered, I ran to the bathroom and started squeezing out the Aquafresh to brush my teeth, I don't want my bad breath blowing all over my birthday cake. Oh yeah, did i mention it's my birthday today, that's why i'm going to the restaurant. I haven't gotten a birthday cake yet so im suspecting the staff are going to bring it out. I wonder what the food is like there, Just thinking about juicy steak and pepperoni pizza makes my mouth water. Anyways I got into the car with my Mum, Dad and my two Brothers: Josh and alex, My dad was driving today only because my mum is fed up of it. We arrived at the restaurant, I turned to a big sign which wrote " The vintage food zone." That sounded quite cool and luxury.I entered the building and a lady approached us straight away and told us our reserved table "table 54 over there, follow me."
she sat us down and gave us our menus, I of course ordered the most expensive, A beef burger with a side of chips and for a drink i asked for a J20. Mum asked me what my favourite present was i answered "the fluffy socks because someone.. stole my slippers."
"I didn't know they were yours" my dad shouted. Everyone turned around and stared at him, his face went red.
"It had my name on them" I whispered back while peering right into his eyes.
"Now now, will you two please stop fighting, it's Faye's birthday be nice" Mum said firmly.
Dad got out his seat walking off to speak to the chef, it was obvious he wanted them to make me a birthday cake for my birthday. He sat back down and we all waited 10 minutes for the food to come. A bunch of came out the back with our food, A lady set down my burger and everyone else's food. Then a cute boy who looked around my age strode out the back with a huge chocolate cake in his left hand, the staff made way for him and they stared singing the classic happy birthday to me. An old couple joined in but something else caught my attention, that boy was staring right at me. In that moment I realised how piercing his ocean blue eyes were. I stared back at him and watched how his fluffy brown hair danced in the same breath that i blowed out the candles with. We both smiled, i couldn't help myself but notice his gorgeous cheeks dimples and even the way he dressed was hot. The song finished and the employees walked back to kitchen leaving just enough plates for us to eat the cake. He then came out once again to deliver my brothers food, before he turned to step away he winked at me. I was in shock. Alex must of saw him since he muttered "Ooooo, someone fancies you"
"Shut up" I replied while nudging him in the elbow. Luckily no one heard him. We all finished our dinner and gobbled down some cake but this time dad was full, that's a change I thought. Dad drove again this time even though he was drinking before but my mum insisted. every time she always moans "but i always drive." When we got back I was exhausted, I ran up stairs racing my brother to the bathroom to get my makeup of and to go to the toilet. I wiped off the lipstick with a cold flannel and plodded back to my room where i got undressed and jumped on my bed. I couldn't get to sleep thinking about him, "will i ever see him again?" i said quietly . These thoughts kept me awake for a while but eventually i fell asleep with my new salt lamp next to me. I can't wait for the weekend.
