Down For You

Two.

"Good day ladies, are you ready to order?" The waitress asked, standing next to our table with a pen and pad in her hand and a smile on her face.

"Yes we are, I would like steak and eggs with avocado toast and please refill my water." My mother spoke as the waitress nodded writing everything down.

"And for you?" She asked, looking at Chanel.

"I'd like your Mediterranean Veggie sandwich please." Chanel smiled, wrapping her acrylic nails around the menu handing it back to the waiter oh and water with lemon."

"Yes ma'am."

"And for you miss."

"Um, I'm still deciding."

"Would you like a few more minutes?"

"Please."

"Yes ma'am, I'll place the other orders in and bring you your drinks."

"Aris, you've been looking at that menu for minutes now, and you still haven't decided on what you want to eat?" My mother questioned placing the cloth napkin across her lap.

I am a very indecisive person, something my mother hated, I've been this way since I was a little girl, especially when it came to food."

"Well it's not my fault everything looks good, let me be great ma. Goodness."

"Okay Aris." She said looking else where as I continued to scroll the pages of the menu.

"So, how have things been for the both of you?" My mother asked, looking at both Chanel and I.

"Here are your drinks." The waiter interrupted. "Ma'am, do you know what you would like to order yet?"

"I would like your French Crepes with strawberries and a mimosa please."

"Alright, I'll bring your drink and place your order in as well." She smiled, walking away.

"As I was saying, what's going on in your lives ladies?" My mother excitedly asked.

"Well." Chanel smirked, grabbing her purse from the fourth chair where we all placed our purses.

My mother and I watched Chanel reached her hands inside her purse, pulling it out seconds later bending her wrist, as she  wiggled her left fingers.

"Oh my goodness." My mother gasped, taking Chanel hand in hers. "Would you look at that!"

My eyes widen at the huge ring on her finger. "Oh my gosh!"

"I'm getting married!" Chanel brightly smiled bouncing up and down in her seat.

"What? When did this happen? How tell me everything!" I smiled.

"Okay! Okay so look boom. You know I'm extra I like to be in front and center of attention that's just me. But I don't know being with Kaseem, he's so laid back and complete opposite of me he rather be lowkey about everything and just modest and chill and what have you. So one day we talked about marriage and I told him I'm like whenever you decided to ask, I want to be intimate just you and I and he did just that."
