Ch. 74

"I'll get the Prawns Bordelaise please." I smile up at the waiter, Carol's son.

"Certainly, and for you?"

"I'll just take one of those as well." I guess she didn't see anything interesting on the menu.

"I'll be right back with the soup of the day and your drinks." He nods and walks away.

"They had duck on the menu. And half a chicken."

"They did?" Lauren squints.

"Yea, didn't you read the descriptions under the names?"

"I was to busy trying to read the names."

"Their old Italian names. This place has fantastic soup."

As I speak a bowl slides in front of me.

"It is a mushroom cream soup today."

"This looks absolutely delicious. Thank you!" I grab my spoon and try not to slurp. Normally I don't eat food I haven't tried before, but I always love the soup here. And when I have a cold I order some for pickup.

Lauren takes a small bite [A/N: bite or sip? It's soup] and smiles. I guess she likes it.

"How did you not tell me this existed?" She questions.

"Dunno. It's great though, right."

"Amazing. I can't wait for whatever we ordered."

"Prawns bordelaise?" I think of how Ross comes from Australia. And in Australia they call shrimp prawns. And now I'm missing everyone all over again! I sigh and take another sip of my soup.

"Hey why so sad?"

"I remembered something."

"You mean someone?"

"Yea." How does she know me so well?

"We'll there coming back in two days right?"

"Oh my god are they!" I totally lost track of the days while I sulked in my room.

"I think so."

"That's amazing. I can't wait to pick them up and ask them if they want to live with us. Even though they'll probably say no."

"Don't doubt yourself. I'm sure it'll be fine."

"Whatever... Oh my god here's our food." We get our plate sat down in front of us and I thank the waiter for the thousandth time. Then I turn to my plate and dig in. Lauren is slower, examining her dish then taking a small bite before deciding it was delicious.

"Mmm. What is this again?" She asks between bites.

"Shrimp in a white wine and garlic sauce with lemon and other seasonings. It's great right?"

"Oh my god yes. How much does if cost?"

"... A lot?"

"Is that alright? I don't want to fuckin' be a money leech."

"It's fine, I would have treated you to dinner anyways."

"Really?"

"Totally." I decide to leave out the fact that this dinner will probably cost more than a hundred dollars. She doesn't like buying things with me, saying that she shouldn't be using my money when she can use her own. I never really knew what to do with money so I buy her anything she wants. I didn't want to be rich anyways. When everyone gets back I'll probably give them an equal amount. Then we can all be moderately wealthy. :)

We finish out meals quickly, I pay, and drive us back home. After I wake up there will only be one day before I can see Dan again. And Suzy and Kevin and Ross and Arin and Holly and Barry. I can't wait to see everyone, and possibly I can find a way to release all this tension from their absence. Something including Dan possibly...

I part the car and dash inside to tell Dan I can't wait to see him soon. I'll leave my ideas to myself.
