The Rise Of Us

Chapter 79: Genuine Happiness

"Here's to a good wait no....amazing time!" Amir holds up his glass.

"Wooo!"

"Yeah!"

"Cheers!"

They all clank their glasses together before they sit back down at the booth, them drinking their drinks while people look at them with smiles. After them having a amazing time at the carnival and spending hours out there they decided to go and have dinner somewhere before they went back to the hotel.

"I love how they put even the soda's in these bottles to make it seem as though I'm really drinking beer." Amir says while drinking some of his drink.

"You only have a few months to go." Stephanie mentions.

"Still can't believe you are a few months older than me." Amir tells Stephanie with a smile, Stephanie just laughing in response while shaking her head.

"Way to rub it in." Amberlee mentions. "I have like...a little under two years to go." She pouts.

"It ain't that special." Ryder points out.

"It is in our family! So there's this guy Murray and he occasionally comes into town and every time he does Uncle Johnathan purposely comes back from Hawaii just to drink some of his drinks. And Uncle Steve and Grandpa Hopper are always around it to and Dad. Pretty much everyone." Amberlee explains.

"Yeah apparently my Dad got drunk after drinking a cup of his 'creation'." Amir quotes with his fingers.

"That's some strong shit then." Ryder responds.

"You like strong alcohol?" Stephanie questions.

Ryder shakes his head. "Takes away from the taste."

"Well apparently that Murray guy knows how to do taste and strength of the drinks combined and I can't wait to try them because my Auntie Nancy always throws it in my face saying oh hahaha you can't drink before she just downs the cup." Amberlee pouts.

"Yep that sounds like my mother." Amir nods.

"Alright I have the shrimp and chicken Cajun pasta with extra request of hot sauce all around?" The lady questions.

"That's me." Amberlee says, the lady putting the plate in front of her.

"The medium rare steak with fully loaded mashed potatoes and corn on the cob?"

"Me." Ryder says, the plate being out in front of them.

"Then I have the chicken and steak fajitas?"

"Me right here." Stephanie raises her hand politely with a smile, the plate being put in front of her.

"And you must be the chicken deluxe sandwich with fries?" She directs at Amir.

"That's me." Amir responds, her putting the plate in front of him. "Thank you."

"No problem. Does anyone need anything else?"

"Nope."

"We're good."

"We're good thanks."

"Okay enjoy your food." The lady smiles before walking away.

Amberlee closes her eyes while she chews her pasta in her mouth, her just nodding her head before she swallows. "Doesn't beat my mothers but this is amazing." She nods while she takes another fork full.

"This is really good." Stephanie nods her head as well.

"Mine too." Amir agrees.

All eyes turn to Ryder, seeing him cutting a piece of his steak before putting it in his mouth, looking up at them before his eyebrows furrow. "What?" He questions.
