Just Friends

Pov Meri

I walk out of the restaurant. I walk into the street.

"Guard!" I hear a girl's voice calling.

I turn around and see the girl from just now.

She runs to me and puts her hands on my chest.

"I like it when you play hard to get," she whispers.

I push her away from me.

"I'm going," I say and want to turn around again.

"What if I want to see you again?" she asks desperately.

"Do you have a piece of paper and a pen?" I ask.

She looks completely enthusiastic again. She fishes a pen and piece of paper out of her apron, which apparently contained a notepad and pen. She gives it to me. I quickly write it down and give it back to her.

Her happy face turns to surprised.

"If you want to see me you can look me up on Instagram. Good luck with that,' I say and this time walk towards the McDonalds. Leaving her amazed. Just right.

#

Fortunately, MacDonalds is not very far from here. I walk into the entrance. Strangely enough, it's not very busy. I walk to the cash register. It's my turn right away.

"Hey, what can it be?" asks a girl behind the counter.

"Uhm, give me a Big Mac menu and a Mac Flurry Oreo," I say and take a quick look at the plate with the menu on it.

"Okay. Would you like fries sauce with it?" she asks without even looking at me.

Oh well, boo. I don't really feel like getting into bed with a girl at the moment, to be honest.

"What would you like to drink?" she asks.

"Just have a normal Coke," I say and take my wallet from my back pocket.

"That will be 6.50," she says.

I give her the money.

"Okay, it will be delivered there soon. Here is the receipt with your number," she says, pointing to the left.

I take it from her and walk to a table that is against the wall. I sit on a green bar stool and spin around a bit. When the nausea almost makes me want to puke, I decide to stop. I grab my phone.

6 missed calls from Mom.

Oh oh I'm fucked right now.

Oh well, it will. If they went from here I wouldn't have left.

"Number 39!" a boy's voice shouts.

That voice sounds familiar. I have an argument with that voice. That voice deceived Sage. I feel anger bubbling up inside me. I turn around suddenly. Like I've been stung by a bee.

Only without the addition.

Let's make it a wasp.

Wasps are just bastards and this oompaloompa in front of me is a wasp too.

I give Axel a dirty look. His gaze falls on me. You see him swallow audibly.

"Meri," he mumbles.

"No, Santa Claus. You're the monkey," I growl.

I look at him hypocritically. I take my receipts and tear them up. I hold it in my hand.

"You know, Axel. Christmas also includes snow. And since there is no snow here yet," I mumble.

I blow all the pieces of paper in his face. I look at him with satisfaction, I grab the tray of food and pretend to walk away.

"Oh yes and Axel," I grumble.

I put my tray down on a table and walk towards him with long strides. I grab him by the collar.

"You do have good dental insurance, right?" I ask and smile innocently.

He nods questioningly.

"Good," I grin and punch him hard in the jaw.

No, not in the place that would kill him. I'm not that stupid either. He has to pay for what he did to Sage.

I hear a woman scream in shock and children start to cry. Axel fell to the ground from the impact. Calm down, he is not unconscious.

"Security," is shouted.

"Baby, honey, are you okay?" asks the bitch who was just behind the cash register.

She rushes to Axel and tries to help him up.

"Are you serious Axel?" I chuckle and shake my head laughing.

I see security walking towards me. I quickly grab a bag from over the counter and shove my food into it. Really two seconds later I feel a pair of hands lifting me by my shoulder. Well, that doesn't matter anymore, I have my food.

And this is going to be a very lonely sentence, but that doesn't matter.

Food is bae.

What it is the truth. A thought of Sage crosses my mind. Her beautiful smile. Wait, why do I have to remember that?

The men put me back outside the grounds.

"Now fuck off!" one shouts.

I sit cross-legged on the floor, very dry.

The guard looks at me angrily. Yes, I'm provoking it. I take my food out of the bag and start eating it slowly.

The guard walks away angrily. The other follows behind. Great, I win.

#

At least I hoped I won. I hear police cars.

The guard walks out. The car stops right in front of me. I dip my last fries in the mayonnaise and then put them in my mouth.

The officers get out.

"He was harassing one of our employees," the guard growls.

"Young man, is this correct?" the female officer asks.

"It's not how you agree to harassment," I mutter.

"And how do you agree?" sighs the other male officer.

"Like a menu for food," I say and smile innocently at them.

"You can come with me to the office," she says.

"Get up and stand against the car," the man growls.

The guard looks at me with a grin, just like Axel, who I see looking at me from the entrance.

Shall I tell you a fun fact?

What animal has a dick on its back?

That's right, a police horse.
