Augustus and Alex

Take-Out

----Alex-----

I jog towards the Chinese section of town and right when I got in I could smell the fantastic aroma of chow mein and rice. If I weren't Mexican, then I would want to be Chinese. I scan my eyes, looking for a Chinese restaurant, and spot it. "Chinese Take-Out." 

I walk in and it smells so strongly of rice and orange chicken that I might faint. I walk up to the lady at my counter and tell her I'm ordering two meals of chow mein and orange chicken.
"Right up sir." I glance over and she glares at me, then swiftly walks away. I stare intently at her, surprised that she glared. Did I know her? Her brown hair swished back and forth and it reminded me of Martha, but Martha sure wasn't the only one with brown hair. 
"$10.02 at  the cash register, Alex" I stood dead in my tracks, puzzled.
"How do you know my name?" 
"Oh..." she laughs "you looked like an Alex. I had no idea it was actually your name." she continues to laugh while putting together my meal. I try to ignore her and give the elderly lady at the counter a crumpled ten dollar bill and search my pockets for change. 
"No need, dear" she says to me. Her chocolate brown eyes give off positive vibes and I walk out of there with my Chinese Take-Out. 

I set the take-out on the bench and walks towards the tent. I zip it open and I see Augustus sound asleep in my sleeping bag. How cute. I snap a picture of him on my phone before waking him up.
"err?" Augustus opens his eyes to see me peering over him.
"Wake up Auggie. I brought Chinese food." Augustus jumped out of the sleeping bag but failed, for he zipped it up and it lay tightly against his chest. I helped him unzip it and he ran out of the tent to the bench. I quickly grabbed a spoon and shoved some chow mein into my mouth before Augustus ate it all. After a quick 10 seconds Augustus ate a whole meal and let out a hearty burp. 
"excuse me" he says but that does not stop the laughter that I have. He blushes in my direction but looks away and stares at the sunset. 
"Auggie now where are we going tomorrow" I wait for him to say something, but he doesn't. I walk over to him and realize he fell asleep. I took another picture and carried him to our tent, where I let him sleep in my sleeping bag. With me.
