Down To Ride

6. W.A.Y.S.

Spencer James

After Olivia exited the living room, he found himself glancing at the meal she bought for him. He grabbed the box from off of the coffee table and peeked inside of it. He instantly thought back to their one of their first dates at Simply Wholesome. 

*flashback*

"I can't believe I've never been here before...it's beautiful" Olivia's eyes lit up as she and Spencer toured the infamous restaurant. 

"You know what chu want?" Spencer smiled as Olivia approached him in the line. 

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" Olivia inquired as her cheeks felt warm. "What do you usually get?" she asked while viewing the menu.

"I get the Caribbean enchiladas with two jerk chicken patties and green juice" Spencer answered, ignoring the first part of her series of questions. Truthfully he admired how amazed she was at one of his many safe havens. He wouldn't dare admit it to her though.

"Then I'll have the same as you" Olivia smiled as she was excited to try the delicious food. 

"Well if it ain't Spencer James! Long time no see my brotha!" the cashier smiled at the young pair. "What can I get for the both of you?" he inquired.

"We'll have two orders of the Caribbean enchiladas with four jerk chicken patties and two green juices" Spencer responded. "You want anything else?" he asked, briefly glancing at Olivia.

"No thank you" she replied and Spencer nodded.

The cashier took both of their orders shortly before conversing with Spencer.

"Bout time you stopped foolin' around with that Chyna girl! She was nothin' but trouble" the cashier chuckled and Spencer cracked a smile.

"Tell me about it" Spencer pulled out his cash and paid for their meals. 

"That's you though?" the cashier inquired, discreetly nodding his head in Olivia's direction. Spencer didn't say anything, the smile on his face spoke for him.

"I uh got to go but you keep the change" Spencer told him as the cashier handed him the receipt.

"It was good seein' you, Spence!" the cashier handed him their food.

"You too, OG! You have a good night!" Spencer smiled and thanked the man for him and Olivia's dinner. "You ready?" he glanced at Olivia and she nodded her head.

*flashback over*

Spencer smiled while he picked at his food with the plastic fork. He remembered how much Olivia loved the meal...and how much he loved her at that very moment. He just didn't know it yet.

He grabbed his crutch before and carefully stood up. He hobbled toward the kitchen where he found his wife leaning against the counter, enjoying her meal. Olivia paused from eating her meal as the both of them made eye contact with one another.

"You're wasting your time if you've come in here to yell at me again" Olivia wiped her mouth with a napkin. 

"I didn't come here for that" Spencer hobbled towards her and placed the food on the counter. "And I'm sorry for lashing out at you...you didn't deserve it" he told her. 

Olivia rested both of her hands on the counter as she stared at her husband. "So what is it that you want?" she inquired with a slight attitude.

"I was hopin' to join you for lunch" Spencer suggested. "I want to have lunch with you" he clarified and she twisted her mouth.
