Night 4

I ate with Ben that day again.

He said he didn't want me to spare more money. I tried to pay but I didn't want to upset him. Anyways I had that feeling that I wouldn't eat that much tonight because of this dinner.

And I was right, once Anna and Chris got home, they sent me to my room after inspecting I did a good job with dinner. Which I did, I was pretty good at cooking I learned to love it in my previous foster family.

I had two other families before this one.

The first one didn't stand me and I didn't stand the second one. But now I was apparently stuck with this one.

I was allowed to take a can of beans in my room at 6 p.m. But that can didn't fill up my stomach as it was aching for more food two hours later. The sun had already set but I still decided to go out to take a proper diner. Plus with Ben paying for my lunch today, I wouldn't be out of budget for tonight.

I took my credit card, the personal one this time, I did put my paycheck at the bank earlier in the afternoon so it was freshly refilled.

I knew the couple downstairs would be too preoccupied by their probably soon to be big client to even notice that I went out. So I carefully took the stairs down three by three with my short legs to make the less noises possible and passed the back door.

I quickly walked to the nearest Bar-Restaurant I knew, being the paranoid person I am, i wouldn't want to wander out at night too far away.

I entered through the glass doors and sat myself at the bar.

" Hello lady what will it be tonight ?"

I looked up at the old man.

" uhm let me just check the menu."

" Alright get back to ya in a minute."

I mumbled a thanks not really enjoying his too much happiness.

Beef steak.

How I would like that.

20.95$

Nope okay. I saw a low price.

7.95$

But I groaned when I saw what it was.

Caesar Salad.

I decided on a little extra and choose the good looking chicken burger.

King Burger ~ 12.95$

The old man came back with his large smile.

" Did you set your mind on something sweetheart ? "

" Yeah I would like the King Burger please."

" Extras ? Drink? "

" No thank you."

He winked at me before leaving to yell my order in what I assumed was the kitchen.

I shouldn't bother taking my phone out like everyone did nowadays but I just did anyways and I just played with the napkin.

" I thought you were more of a beef person."

A chuckle came from behind which startled me to death, I almost fell off my chair.

I turned around to make sure I associated well the voice with whom I thought it was.

Bingo.

" What the heck are you doing here ? "

" Well just like you to eat."

I rolled my eyes at him as he took a seat next to me.
