This Town

Chapter: 5 Tell You Everything

Greg pulled up at Mc Donalds, and we got out of the car. We walked inside the restaurant and assembled in our seats.

I picked up one of the menus and started looking for what I was going to, order. After 5 minutes, I finally decided on my order, and a waitress approached us. She looked pretty young.

Waitress: "Hello sir's and Ma'ams'. Welcome to the Mc Donalds. What can I get for you?"

We all gave her our orders, and she wrote them in her notepad.

Waitress: "Ok. Your order will be ready in 15 minutes."

With that, she left.

Greg: "I need to go to use the restroom. I'll be back before our order comes."

We all nodded, and he went to the other direction, where I guess the restroom is.

I took out my phone and went on Twitter.

I heard Denise's phone ringing, and she picked it up. She got up from her seat and went outside. It was just me, and Clare. It was awkward between us, even though we both were on our phones. It feels like the thing, we were trying to ignore has come towards us rushing. I don't want to talk to her, but I still want her back in my life. It doesn't matter if she is my girlfriend or not. I am okay with just being friends. Oh, I wish I had one of the boys here with me to help me in this situation. "I have to talk to her. It is the best for us." As I thought that, I put my phone back on the table.

Niall: "Hey."

Clare: "Hi."

Niall: "It feels like it has been forever since we last talked."

Clare: "Don't act smart around me, Niall. I know you're up to something. Just get to the point."

Niall: "You know me so much better."

Clare: "Yeah. I do."

Niall: "I wanted to ask you how have you been doing after you know I left."

Clare: "Nothing much. I work part-time at 7-Eleven, and currently, I am doing a course in fashion designing. It's actually fun. I am going to graduate next year."

Niall: "That sounds fun."

Clare: "I am so pleased to see you accomplishing things you've always wanted to do."

Niall: "Yeah." All thanks to you. I thought.

Niall: "I saw you've got a boyfriend."

Clare: "Yeah. He's really great. He is a businessman."

Niall: "Wow. A businessman. Pretty great."

Clare: "I know right,"

I was telling her about a few incidences that happened with me, and the boys before we got interrupted by the waitress. She brought our meals and set them on the table. While she was doing, Greg and Denise returned. Why can't they just go somewhere else and let me and Clare talk like the old times?

They sat on their chairs, and we all started eating our food.

(Flashback)

Niall: "Ok, Clare. Close your eyes."

As she closed her eyes, I pulled out the black cloth I got with me and blindfolded her. I guided her towards my car and sat her on the seat.

I made my way to the driver's seat, got in, and started driving. On our way, Clare kept asking me questions about where we were going, and how long will it take? As I pulled up to our destination, I jumped out of the car and opened the door to Clare's seat. I got her outside and guided her towards our table. When we reached the place, I took off her blindfold. She started looking around the room.
