It was around 11:35am and the pizzeria was filled with quite a few people, with multiple languages colliding. Spanish, English, and Italian languages were heard as they waited in line. Not to mention, old school music was playing in the background.
"This place is pretty cool," stated Christian, as he looked around the pizzeria.
"Yeah, it sure is," replied Julie. "It has been here for over 45 years," she added, smiling.
When they made it to the counter, Emma ordered for the three of them.
"One pepperoni, one supreme hold the black olives, and a hamburger. Three drinks," then she paid for lunch as Uptown Girl by Billy Joel came on the radio.
Then as the three co workers went to get their drinks, Emma breaks into song, with Julie after her, then Christian.
"She's been living in her uptown world, I bet she's never had a backstreet guy, I bet her mamma never told her why. I'm gonna try for an.." sang Emma, as Steve Rogers watched from around the corner, eating his lunch, smiling.
"Well, I'll be, she has some pipes on her," he thought to himself, listening to the three co-workers singing and having a good time.
All the while, the three co-workers waited patiently for their lunch, until it was delivered and they started eating.
Moaning in excitement, Christian couldn't believe at how good the pizza was. The girls giggled and smiled.
"I take it that you like it," stated Julie.
"This pizza is the best I have ever eaten. I'm surprised that I have never been here before. What's this place called again," Christian said, in between bites of his supreme pizza.
"Rudy's pizzeria," replied Emma, as she ate another piece of her pizza. "Best pizza on the upper west end," she added.
"I second the motion," Chris replied, in unison, eating rather quickly.
It did not take them long to finish and after getting refills and heading out, Emma bumps into a hard chest and looks up to see that it was Steve. Blushing pink in her face, he smiles softly.
"Forgive me for not looking where I was going," she states rather quickly.
"It's okay, doll. Good thing you did not trip on a ladder this time to get my attention," he says with a smirk.
"If you can please excuse me," she adds, as Steve gets out of the way, ruffling her hair in the process. As he does this, her face gets even more flushed.
