(Ella's P.O.V.)
"Alright we're here." Taylor says parking the car. I quickly put my headphones and phone in my purse then unbuckle and get out.
"Thank goodness. I'm so hungry." I close the car door, and walk to the front door of the place. I hold the door for my dad and Taylor who are holding hands. We all walk in together and stop at the front desk or whatever.
"Three people." My dad says to the girl. He's still new to this.
"Just the three of you?" She says writing something down.
"Yes. Just the three of us."
"Alright." She grabs three menus then turns and smiles at us. "Right this way please." She says starting to walk. We all follow her as she walks us to an empty booth. She sets the menus down. I sit opposite from my dad and Taylor, and they sit next to each other.
"Alright. Hello I'm Penelope and I will be you're waitress today." She says with a smile clicking her pen. "Do you wanna order drinks now, or shall we wait?"
"Um... I think we can order drinks now. Ella your usual?" I nod my head towards my dad, and smile. I usually get a Pepsi. "Okay. Um... Two Cokes. Regular sized. What do you want honey?" He asks turning to look at her.
"Do you have tequila here?" She says and me and my dad look at each other.
"Yes we do."
"Okay can I have that?"
"Yup. Okay so two Cokes and one Tequila?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"Alright. I will be back with those."
"Okay." The waiter walks away, and my dad smiles. "This is an awesome day. Right girls?"
"Yup. I know I definitely had fun."
"What about you Taylor?" My dad says looking at her.
"Hm? Oh. Um... It's been interesting that's for sure." She says with a smile.
"Well I hope you've been enjoying the day." My dad says looking at me with a smile. "Okay. I need to go to the bathroom. If she comes back you know what to order me right?"
"Sure do." I say with a thumbs up.
"Okay. I will be right back." He kisses Taylor on the lips then leaves the booth. Once he was far enough I was comfortable with looking down at my menu. "So. Taylor how are you?" I say trying to start conversation with her.
"Don't bullshit me." She says suddenly and I look at her confused.
"What?" I say closing menu. I already know what I wanted.
"You're just pretending. I know you don't like me."
"What? Where did you get that?"
"I can see it. It's okay. I don't like you either."
"What? Why?"
"You're too different. I don't like children who go against the rules."
"What? I don't go against the rules. I follow them."
"Bullshit. If you think that you can play the good girl role you're wrong. So stop trying. It's not a good look for you. Things are gonna change at the house. You will call me mom, and treat me like I am your mom. Got it?"
"Um... Sure. I guess." I feel awkward now, and hope that me dad shows up quickly.
"Good." She sits back and looks around. I look up over the booth to see my dad.
