Relocating

Tours Begin with Food

"Hurry up!" I yelled from the kitchen. It was now 5pm and that meant our tour was starting. At least, it should be starting. Ashton was started packing half an hour ago, and I had no idea why he wasn't done.

"Yeah, yeah Connecticut." He yelled back and I laughed. Whenever I annoyed him in the past week, he put Connecticut into the sentence instead of my name. He made it an insult.

"I didn't even take this long to pack!" I shouted.

"Then you under packed!"

"I don't have a lot of clothes." I say and lower the loudness of my voice as he walks into the room.

"You're a girl. Isn't it required?"

"Not all girls have a lot of clothes."

"Yeah whatever you think, Connecticut."

"Why do you call me that?"

"What?"

"Connecticut. And say it like it's a bad thing?"

"It's my new word for Rachel the Tourist. Get used to it."

"Will do, but I won't like it." I say and he laughs.

"You'll like what I say to like!" He yells, trying to sound serious. In the end he bursts out laughing. He can never seem to pull a serious face long enough.

"So where are we going first?"

"You'll see."

"Food?"

"Yeah. Then it's a surprise, so stop asking."

"Fineee." I moan and he grabs my arm.

Ashton drags me out of his awesome apartment and down to the car. I hop in as he throws his bags in the trunk. He comes around the car and remains silent.

"So where are we going first?" I ask.

"Dinner."

"Yeah but where?"

"I don't know. Just a cool diner I love to go to."

"What's the name?"

"You'll see in half an hour."

"I don't want to wait that long."

"Well you have to. I'm the driver." He says and I cross my arms like a little kid. Ashton just laughs at me and continues driving.

We finally get to a diner called Annie's Prime and I practically kiss the ground. My appetite exploded in the past 30 minutes. Ashton noticed for sure because around halfway there, I started complaining. Lets just say when I'm hungry I complain a lot. Aston finally got tired of it and yelled at me to ''shut up or else he was pulling over and shoving me out." I was quiet the rest of the way and he had a smile on his face when he got out of the car. We walked into the diner, which was really cool inside. It had a bunch of old tin signs everywhere with things like CocaCola and Hershey's chocolate advertised on them.

"Like it?" He asked.

"It's so cool!" I shouted as a woman walked over.

"What do ya want?" She asked and I was confused with her attitude.

"Just a table." Ashton said and smiled. She rolled her eyes.

"Sit wherever you want. Don't take too long." She said and walked away. I looked at Ashton suspiciously as he followed the lady. He said something to her and she rolled her eyes again.

"Where do you want to sit?" I asked when he came back.

"Anywhere." He said and I sat at a table near a window. I stared out as the lady walked over to us.
