Sound of your Heart

The Resturant (Two)

"Shit! Damnit!"

"Ow! What the hell!" I screamed. Jason just slammed on the breaks and I hit my head against the door.

"Sorry. The car in front of me is an ass. They put their breaks on really fast." I could tell that he was pissed. We have been in the car for 9 and a half hours. It's about 8 AM and we hit morning traffic in...Florida! That's right. We are in Florida! I'm so excited to go to the beach and enjoy the warm weather. It's only about 11 hours from Tennessee to Florida so we should be at the hotel in about 2 hours.

"Dude chill. It's not like we have somewhere to be in a few hours or anything so just relax." I told him. When I said that he pulled into the gas station and parked the car.

"The blue suitcase is yours. Find something nice to wear. Change in the bathroom inside. Do your hair and makeup crap once we get back on the road."

"Wait why?"

"Because we have somewhere to be and you need to dress fancy. Now go." He said with a smirk.

I grabbed my suitcase and found a white tube dress and some white heels. Perfect. I went into the bathroom and changed. The dress was straight out gorgeous. When I got back to the car Jason was standing there in a suit. Where are we going? That question keeps replaying in my head. "Ready to go?" He asks. "Yeah. Just let me grab my makeup." I say. I walk over to the trunk, close my suitcase and grab my makeup bag. I get into the passenger seat and Jason starts the car. "So how long until we get to our destination?" I ask. "About an hour and a half. This is a very fancy place so look good. You never really know who might show up there." He responded.

I took my hair out of the messy bun it was in and brushed through it. Throughout the two years I had cancer I never lost my hair and I am so grateful. I have light brown hair that goes down to my waist. I usually have it up but recently I've been loving it down. "Hair up or down." I said to Jason. He always helps me in fashion and hair advise. I don't know why but he always seems to be right so I just go with what he says.  "Down" Jason said. I brush through my hair one last time. It's kind of wavy. It looks really pretty. On to makeup. I'm going to do a lighter makeup today since I am wearing white. I don't want to look weird with really dark makeup. I'm going to do a gold eye shadow with some browns, bronzer and highlighter and red lips. It's kind of hard to go makeup in the car, but once we go into the highway the ride was smoother.

I finished my makeup in a time of 30 minutes. "OK. I'm done." I say as I toss my makeup bag into the back. "Want to listen to some music?" I ask.

"Yeah sure. Just none of the crappy boy band Niki loves." Jason said.

"Yeah no. I hate them too." I said with a laugh. I turned on my favorite playlist. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jason smile. I am really glad that we are taking this trip.

~*~*~*~

"We're here." Jason said. As I looked around we were at a very fancy restaurant. There were people in suits, dresses and all round fancy clothes. When we pulled up to valet parking someone open the car door for me.

"Thank you." I said as I stepped out of the car.

Jason got out of the car and tossed the keys to someone. Then we walked inside the restaurant. That's when I saw a beautiful grand piano in the middle of the dining area. I love to play piano. When I was thirteen years old I heard my older cousin play a song and I wanted to learn it. I have never had a piano lesson in my life and nobody has ever taught me. I am self taught. If I hear a song, then I can play it. Some people say it's a miracle. I say: it's my passion.

I look over at Jason who is talking with the waitress. "Come on." He said. I followed him over to our table. When we sat down I had to ask him questions about this place.

"How can you afford this?"

"How did you know about this place?"

"Is there something special today?

I was about to ask him another question when he cut me off.

"Maria, chill out. All you need to know is that money is not a problem and I love you very much and I'm glad that you are better." He said with a smile.

I looked around at the restaurant and took in my surroundings. The ceiling had different types of paintings from different artists. Each table had a white cloth topped with a dark maroon cloth on top. A candle was placed in the middle of all tables.

The place was amazing.

"Thank you for taking me here Jason. This means a lot to me." I said smiling.

"Feel free to order everything or anything off of the menu. This is our treat from the family to you." He told me.

Just then the a waiter came over to our table. "Hello there. My name is Samantha and I will be your waiter for today. What would you like to drink?" The girl said.

"I will have a Diet Pepsi please." Jason said.

"And for you miss?" The waitress asked.

"Red wine please." I told her.

"Your drinks will be out shortly." She said. When she walked away I turned my attention back to Jason. He was just staring at me with his arms crossed. "What?" I say.

"Seriously Maria? Wine? You just got out of the hospital yesterday. Plus your not even 21!" He stated. I laughed at this.

"We're you not there when I asked them if j had any restrictions? And who cares if I'm not 21. I can do what ever the hell I want. I'm a free woman." I said with a smile. He started at me for a while before cracking a grin and rolling his eyes.

"Yeah whatever you say little young lady. Anyway, do you know what you want to eat?" He asked me.

"I think I want the chicken Alfredo. What about you?" I said looking up from the menu.

"Probably the same thing." He says with a smile.

~*~*~*~*~

After the waiter came back with our drinks. She took our food order. I of course got my favorite food ever, chicken Alfredo. And Jason ordered the same as well.

"So, what others plans do we have while we are here?" I ask.

"That my little sister, is a surprise. Well um...well actually. Ok. Um well the truth is I don't really have any plans besides this but I wanted this vacation to be special and I mean like maybe we can go to the beach some days or something. Whatever you want ." He said while scratching the back of his neck. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. He just started at me.

"Jason..." I said in between laughs "this is more than enough. It's okay. Even if we just were here for a day, I appreciate this so much. Thank you."

He cracked a smile and we just went into more conversation. Apparently, at his college, ALL of the girls want him (as if!).

"I will back. I'm going to the restroom." I say as I get up.

I walk to the back of the restaurant and I see the restrooms sign. Just as I was walking, someone spilled there drink all over me.

I looked to see who it was and...
