The biggest fucking cheeseburger in the world

We ended up going to five guys for lunch, 'cause Jake wanted "the biggest fucking cheeseburger in the world". I didn't blame him; I was hungry too. But the ordering system at five guys always made me nervous. I couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't be intimidated by someone screaming "ORDER NUMBER 182!" at the top of their voice and getting pissed off if you don't go get it fast enough.
Alex shook her head good-naturedly when I told her about my fear of the walk of shame when someone was slow getting their burger.
"I'll listen for your order too then," she laughed, "so you can sprint up and get it to avoid pissing off a stranger."
When we sat down, Jake started questioning Alex through mouthfuls of food.
"D'you like Star Wars?" He asked.
Alex nodded, "Yeah, but the original trilogy was so much better."
Jake looked at me, "the force is strong with this one."
I laughed.
"What about Game of Thrones?" Jake continued.
He went through a whole list of things, like he was interviewing her for a job. Most people would ask about personality or something, but no, Jake just rhymed off a list of geeky stuff he knew I was into.
"Okay, you seem pretty cool," he nodded in approval when he was finished.
"Thank god," Alex sighed, chuckling, "I wasn't expecting a pop quiz."
Jake took a bite of his burger, "Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Had to be thorough. Couldn't hand my best friend over to someone who can't quote The Walking Dead."
I rolled my eyes.
"Well I'm glad I passed the test," Alex grinned, glancing at me.
Jake made a heart out of his hands, holding it up and looking at us through it.
"Oh stop it," I scolded, laughing as my cheeks went red.
"Why should he stop?" Alex teased, "we are incredibly cute," she put her arm over the back of my seat, smiling at me.
