We got to an expensive Italian restaurant in London I was shocked and petrified on how big it was and I couldn't close my mouth.
"Hey phine, don't tell me you didn't know there was a restaurant like this"
"How do you expect me to know such restaurant exist when I don't listen to...."I was cut short by her loud laughter.
She stopped suddenly with a serious look on her face and said "make sure you act rich, walk with confident strides with your head held up high", she continued with her tutorials
"Fine I will", I said, trying shut her up.
We got down from the car and headed towards the restaurant the interior looked much more expensive than the outside view and it made me wonder if Angela could handle the bills.looking around, I could see lots of people with expensive clothing....I began to feel under dressed thinking it was our usual restaurant
"Good day madam, " the receptionist greeted
"Good day" Angela and I responded in unison
"Any reservations?"
"No, why do you ask "Angela questioned while I was busying admiring the entire building
" ma,that might cost a little more. You ought to have made reservation earlier than now" she explained
" let just go to our usual hang out" I whispered to her ear but she ignored... was just trying to be considerate
"Okay I'm willing to pay for any extra charges "
"Please move a step forward, you are going to see a display of the type of spot with their amount at the counter ".the slim receptionist informed us using her hands to gesticulate.
"Thanks a lot" Angela said. We got to our table which was round a corner that cost about $7, ooo."holy shit'..I cussed in my mind. That is a whole lot of money
"Do you love it here"
" ofcourse, I do. But don't you think it too expensive, I mean I'm s...."
" just relax girl,jeez" Angela cut me off, trust me she has ways of manipulating this...but whatever it is I just hope it does not get any worst
"Madam, here" the waitress said handing over the menu to Angela
"Oh thanks"
" what are your orders"she said with a huge smile featuring her set of white teeth
Angela spoke on our behalf" we will have carprèse salad with pesto sauce, double bucket chicken, panzenella, strawberry covered with chocolate, spa..." I pinched Angela, making her shut up...seems she understood the message
" isn't that too much to eat in few hours, ehnn that enough, thank you" I said handing the menu back to the waiter
" I will be back in a jiffy " I love the way they are so welcoming
"Phine remember what we discussed " "we? I c-ant, oh about the application. Angela you know it's a NO for me, I'm not interested okay?"
"Phine, common, this is a big opportunity to showcase your talent, I mean if I were you am going to apply...I mean you are not paying a dim, with free accommodation and travel expenses to Paris and I can come along with you, start a new life, please phine"angela pleaded with those puppy eyes that make me hate saying no
"Fine, fine. I will try"i finally agreed
"Here you go" the waitress placed our order, I took a bite out of my seasoned chicken and the lovely taste ravaged my taste buds. Angela had ketchup running down her mouth, she ate like she hasn't eaten in ages. The food on the decorated table kept me wondering how Angela could afford such meal
"Phine, you should try this. It's awesome" she said with her mouth filled with a brownish -red substance pointing at the strawberry covered with chocolate, I couldn't help but laugh silently. I crinched in my seat and reached out for one as I chided her," why can't you eat without talking?" She giggled and took her champagne....my favourite was the salad, God, I can't till get over it
The cloud outside darkened and cool breeze blew inside through the window making chills run through my body.
"It's about to rain" I said taking a glass of water
"But, I can't leave this here, there is still so much to eat" this statement made me laugh so hard, Angela is a foodie but it is till so surprising that she has a maintained body shape...I have talked her into going for Victoria secret modelling, its one of the biggest and elaborate modelling institute in London but she is so stubborn headed
"You're so funny" I said pulling her out of the chair
"Just go get the car" she told me and I frowned my face
" why am I the one doing that?" I asked folding my arms like a stubborn child
"Okay, you prefer paying the bills with your own money" there she goes again picking on me it's not fair....Angela knows I'm a broke ass
I began working towards the exist dragging my feet on the floor. As soon as I got to the base, I heard a heart wrecking thunder which made me hasten my step. I searched my bag hurriedly for the car key while in motion until I bumped into a hard wall.
