Aaliyah's pov:

As we all hopped into the car, the engine roared to life, filling the air with a familiar hum. The excitement from the karting adventure still lingered, making the car ride feel like an extension of the fun-filled day.

Lando, with his adventurous spirit, focused on the road asked Mattheo, "Hey buddy, where do you think we should go for lunch? Any ideas?"

Mattheo's eyes wide with possibilities, pondered for a moment before replying, "Hmm, how about pizza? I love pizza!"

I chuckled and replied, "Pizza sounds great, but we had that last time. Let's try something different today. How about burgers?"

Mattheo's face lit up with excitement as he exclaimed, "Burgers! Yes, I love burgers too! But what about tacos? They're so yummy!"

Lando nodded thoughtfully, considering Mattheo's suggestion. "Hmm, tacos do sound tempting. But you know what? What do you think of going to Nando's?"

Mattheo's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he asked, "What's Nando's, dad?"

Lando grinned and explained, "Nando's is a restaurant that serves the most delicious grilled chicken with special peri-peri sauce."

Mattheo's mouth watered at the thought of the flavorful chicken and tasty sides. He nodded enthusiastically, saying, "Okay, let's go to Nando's then! I can't wait to try their chicken!"

With their decision made, the car journey continued with anticipation and excitement. The conversation shifted to other topics, with Lando Mattheo and I sharing stories and laughing together as the city streets passed by.

As we entered Nando's, the vibrant and lively atmosphere immediately caught your attention. The restaurant was buzzing with energy, filled with the laughter and chatter of families, friends, and fellow food enthusiasts. The inviting aroma of grilled chicken and spices wafted through the air, teasing your senses and making your mouths water.

The interior of Nando's was tastefully decorated, with warm colors and unique artwork adorning the walls. The seating area was designed to create a cozy and comfortable ambiance, with a mix of booths and tables spread throughout the space. Soft lighting illuminated the room, casting a warm glow that added to the inviting atmosphere.

The sounds of upbeat music filled the air, creating a lively backdrop for your dining experience. You could hear the rhythmic clinking of utensils, the sizzling sounds of the grill coming from the open kitchen, and the friendly banter between the staff and customers.

"Good afternoon! How many people will be dining with us today?" the waiter asked.

Lando replied, "It's just the three of us. Two adults and one kid."

The waiter nodded and led them to a cozy booth, handing them the menus. "Here you go. Take your time to look through the options. I'll be back to take your drink order."

Lando, being a fan of Sprite, ordered a refreshing glass of it. I, on the other hand, opted for a classic Dr Pepper. Mattheo requested a fruit shoot.

As we settled into the booth, i noticed the attentive and friendly staff members moving gracefully around the restaurant. They wore bright smiles and were ready to assist you with any requests or recommendations you might have. Their enthusiasm and passion for providing excellent service added to the overall positive vibe of the place.

Looking around, i saw a diverse mix of people enjoying their meals. Families with children shared stories and laughter, friends engaged in animated conversations, and couples leaned in close, savoring both the food and each other's company. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and a sense of shared enjoyment.
