The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]

Chapter 4

ETHAN POINT OF VIEW

I smile one of my sweetest smiles which confuses her even more. I will admit I don't usually smile. "Okay, I will give you two of the biggest plate dinners I know of and if you could eat them both I'll let you free, but if you don't eat them both then you work for me."

She puts some thought into it and starts smiling I knew she would agree to this then that smile turned to a frown. Maybe not? "What is it that you do?" You serious? You're going to die tomorrow and that what's keeping you from the deal? All you need to do is it eat and save yourself from the death of starvation, but no. "I guess you don't want to eat that badly. I'm mean you look like someone who hasn't eaten in what two-three days?" Trust me I know.

She looks at me with her game face on. I would highly advise against that since I know more then you in general. "How would you even know that Mr. I think I'm better than everyone else?" This is becoming very amusing and yet boring if that possible. To be honest I don't even know why I'm helping her.

I start walking away. What am I thinking helping a little miss 'I need help girl' and when she gets help what she ungrateful. I hear her catching up with me I don't even attempt to walk faster. She finally catches up and says "I'll take it." Now we're talking. "Okay let's walk. It only a few blocks down." She looks down nervously. What, have she never walked before? I hope she doesn't think I'm rich because that's definitely not the case. She looks up and says "Okay."

ISA POINT OF VIEW

Don't make it obvious you're looking for someone or not looking for someone. I just got this weird feeling that Zane is going to pop up and be the cause of my expiration date. I think I prefer the starvation. As much as I hate to admit it I need Ethan help. I feel him look over at me, but I'm to busy looking around to look back at him.

"Um, what are you doing? Your embrassing yourself." You know how a gentlemen sees you distraught and they're like "are you okay?" Even though they know your not okay, but they try to comfort you anyway. This Ethan is far beyond that. What did you expect that you could be buddies with him? You met him like 10-15 mins ago.

"Hello, earth to Isa!" Does this dude have any patience? "Sorry it's nothing..." I can't tell him the reason it will just bring back those dead... change subject.

"Where are you from?" He gives me this look of your serious. Sadly I give me the same look. Everyone who in Enchanville were born into it no one can come in no one can go out. "I mean what part of town?" For a brief moment he has a sad expression on his face, but is quickly replace by an angry one that I must have imagine it. "We're almost there let me walk in peace." Um, you are the one who was talking to me, but I don't mind the peace and quiet that's coming from him. We walk a few more minutes in silence then finally we get to the restaurant.

ETHAN POINT OF VIEW

"May I have a table for two?" I told the counter lady. She looks up and says "it will be a 15 minute wait." Great, I'm not only paying for this crazy girl meal I have to wait 15 minutes. You waited longer. That's true. "Thank you."

I directed Isa to the waiting chairs. There's only one left so I let her have it. "Okay, Isa. Tell me about your childhood I want to get to know you if you're going to be working for me." She looks up and I started to notice how beautiful her blue eyes are with her raven black hair. I never seen anything like it. "What makes you think I'll be working for you?" I snap back to reality. Right, this is going to go down two ways. One she not going to finish the plates and work for me or she going to finish it, but still come work for me I know she doesn't want to admit it, but she needs me and as much as I hate to admit it I need her.

"I still want to get to know you since I'm paying for your dinner." She looks down as if deciding what she wants to tell me. Still looking down she says "well I live in a foster home for girls for the first 16 years of my life. Some may say it's abusive some may not. They would hit us if we talked back or even talked without their permission. They don't teach you English until your 4 so for the longest time you can't talk to anyone because you don't know anything. They would even take us to the torture room if they were in a bad mood, but it taught to be strong and to be able to stand through the toughest treatments you can ever imagine. They told us it was 'to prepare you if your ever being tortured,' but we knew it was for their own enjoyments. Those owners were cruel. When no one came to take me into their home I was kicked out with only 50 dollars to last me up to this point. I don't know how, but I manged to survive with those 50 dollars. My mother died giving birth to me. My dad a week after, but before he died he named me Isa and took me to the foster home or so I'm been told." She looks up giving me that look of are you satisfied now! Wow, that's harsh. I wouldn't have known. What do I say? I thought I had it rough, but I'm starting...

"Follow me." Isa happily walked up and followed the waitress leaving me behind. Really out of all the worse times they could have showed up this had to be the worse. Isa sits herself and says "thank you" to our waitress as she going to get our menus.

"Um, Isa I'm sorry about your childhood. That's harsh I wouldn't have known. I'm just... wanted to say I'm sorry you had to go through that." I mean it to no one should have gone through what she been through and the fact that there were more like her sickens me. She looks up her blue eyes sparkling and says "thank you, not just for this, but for everything. You save my life today." Her smile slowly turns to a frown.

I try lightening up the mood a little. "So you think you can actually eat these two plates?" "I know I can. What are they?" Well if I tell her that would just ruin my enjoyment of her not knowing besides she going to find out when I tell our waitress. "Your just going have to find out." She smiles a little "fine, I can wait."

Our waitress comes back. "Okay, for Isa can I have 1 heartattack steak combo and let's do the breakfast explosion. Then can I have just the regular steak combo..." I pause and turn to Isa "what drink would you want?" She looks up from the drink menu "can I have a milkshake? A chocolate one." She turned to the waitress when she said it. "Can I have a strawberry lemonade. That would be all." She looks at the two of us and our order probably thinking we're crazy: maybe we are. "Coming right up." She leaves.

Isa turns to me a humorous smile on her face. "Okay you have to tell me what's in my order. Please?" Again that would ruin my enjoyment. I have to admit this is pretty fun. "Ah, but that would ruin my enjoyment." I said it almost making me and Isa laugh. "If you don't tell me I can always ask the counter lady." She gets ready to stand up. I smirk at her. "Go I'll like to see you try." She literally leaves and goes to the lady. You saw that coming. Did she really wanted to know that badly?

She comes back "wow that's a lot I mean the steak combo there's two large sizes of steaks, stack of potatos, mac salad, and 1/2 a corn on a cob. Also the breakfast explosion has 8 pancakes, 4 sausages, and one egg omelet." She out of breath just saying it. "Don't forget the milkshake." She looks up breathless of just thinking about it "milkshake isn't part of the combos." She right. "What you still think you can do it?" She dares to look at me right in the face and answer's trufully "I know I can do it."
