Reverie Dyad

Chapter 4

Iris POV:

The sounds of car honks and the stench of garbage stir me up. My eyes flatter as I try to adjust to the stinging light. God, there's so much light. Covering my eyes with my hand I roll trying to find a comfortable spot but I don't. Why the hell am I so uncomfortable? Fully opening my eyes I scan my surroundings and my eyes widen when I realize I'm at a bus stop outside a dingy motel

"Where the fuck am I" I groan. God my head hurts. Placing my hands on either side of my temple I try to ease the tension

How did I even get here? What the hell happened last night? So many questions start running through my head but the intense craving for a greasy cheeseburger and large garlic fries has me standing up forcing my legs to work so I can get some food

Cars drive past me and some of the drivers whistle at me but I brush them off with a flick of my middle finger. Wobbling through the streets of god knows where I squint my eyes as I try to find a diner

"Ouuu I would kill for a cherry pie" I whine at the same time my stomach grumbles. Looking at my surroundings I'm still very confused about how I ended up here. My mind is a little foggy but I need food

Looking up Su and Billy's diner comes to view. My pace starts to pick up but these heels keep making me trip. Taking them off and carrying them my steps are now more precise.

Pushing the doors of the diner open the smell of pancakes and bacon assaults me so hard that I rush to go sit down in a booth. Finding one that has a view of the parking lot I shuffle in.

"Hi welcome to Su and Billy's diner, what can I getcha," the old waitress says chewing a stick of bubble-gum

"Oh uhm triple cheeseburger with uh uhm a slice of cherry pie wait make that two cheeseburgers. Two cherry pies and a vanilla milkshake oh can you do that chocolate sauce whirly thing on the glass maybe some chocolate chips in the milkshake. Oh god I could kill for three large garlic fries" I say and she quirks her eyebrow at me her gum chewing not faltering

"Okay we don't serve lunch during breakfast so I'll give you a stack of choc chip pancakes, 4 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs, two hash browns, and that vanilla shake with the swirlies ya," she says and I nod. What she just said sounds really good too

"Oh and uh two slices of cherry pie," she says finishing writing on her piece of paper. I thank her before she walks away and I sit at the booth kicking my feet underneath the table.

Fuck I need to pee. Standing up I go further into the diner looking for bathroom signs. Finally seeing them I walk into ladies' rooms. Pushing the door open I rush to the stalls not bothering to wipe the seat and I sit down. My dress is ruffled at my waist as I piss. Soft sounds of some music I didn't even notice is playing in the background. Done with my business I roll up some toilet paper and I wipe. I should have just stood and done a quick shake but I'm not wearing any panties. Looking back now that was a bad choice on my end but I was going to go home to Cole.

Oh fuck Cole is probably so worried

Rushing out the stall I wash my hands and I walk back to my booth to find my food already there. Looking for my purse it's not anywhere in the booth

"Oh no no no" I cry. Turning around I go to the counter to find the waitress fixing someone a cup of coffee

"Hi sorry can I borrow your phone I need to make a quick phone call please" I plead with desperation. She nods taking a telephone and placing it in front of me. I thank her as I pick up the phone placing it by my ear. I tap in Cole's number and I press the dial. The phone rings and rings and then he picks up

"Cole baby it's me," I say and an overwhelmed sigh makes it through the phone

"Princess oh god are you okay? Where you? Oh fuck are you okay are you hurt? Princess where are you" he rushes everything out as he sniffles. Oh no, he's been crying.  Cole cries when his stressed-out aghh I hate that I put him through that
