At the Cheesecake Factory
Kell: You look so beautiful Ashleigh.
Ash: Thank you, you look handsome tonight.
Waiter: My name is Jack and I will be your server for tonight. What would you all like to drink?
Ash: I will have the strawberry lemonade please.
Kell: I'll have the passion fruit tea. Sweetened please.
Waiter: Alright do you know what you want to eat Mister Alvarez since you're somewhat of a regular?
Kell: I'm going to have the Cajun Jambalaya Pasta. You know what you want?
Ash: I've never had the Steak Diane. I think I'm gonna try that.
Kell: Good choice. Get what you want. I also want a side of Fried Macaroni and Cheese. I want them golden brown. Not chocolate brown and not black. Golden brown. And please bring out the Dynamite shrimp. Not pipping hot though. You want anything else?
Ash: Awww thanks, but I'm not going overboard. So I guess that's it.
Kell: You deserve it baby girl.
Ash: *giggling*
Waiter: Too cute. I'll put these orders in and I'll bring your food out as soon as possible. *leaves their table*
Kell: So tell me a little about yourself.
Ash: Well...you actually picked me up on a good day today. Today is my eighteenth birthday.
Kell: Ahhhh eighteen...that means you're legal.
Ash: Yes...*giggling*
Kell: Keep going.
Ash: I have three older siblings. Gabriel, Cortez and Dakota. Gabriel of course would've been twenty five. Cortez is twenty three and Dakota is twenty. Her birthday was a few weeks ago. My older siblings keep me grounded. But, I kinda sorta run them. I'm not from Georgia. I'm from Louisiana. Shreveport to be exact. These are my real eyes. I get them from my mom. My sister actually has blue eyes. While my brothers have the smokey deep brown eyes. Uhhhh I'm going to Norfolk State this fall. I'm a pre-pharmacy major. So I guess you can say I'm the plug. Tell me about yourself.
Kell: Well I'm from Brooklyn. My family lives in Stone Mountain. We moved after 911. I actually want you to meet them. You know for my graduation party? I'm an only child. I play basketball sometimes and I can't cook. My mother is African American and my father is Dominican. So before you ask...yes I speak Spanish.
Ash: May you say something? Please....
Kell: Te ves tan hermosa niña bebé. Eres la chica más hermosa que he puesto mis ojos en. *kisses her on the cheek*
Ash: Whooo...did it get hot in here? *fans herself* Good lord.
Kell: *laughs*
Ash: That was beautiful. Thank you. What did you say though?
Kell: You look so beautiful baby girl. You're the most beautiful girl, I've laid my eyes on.
Ash: Awwww, thank you. So what do you plan on doing after graduation?
Kell: Photography was something I picked up on the side to make some money in school. But my plan is to become a African American studies teacher.
Ash: Mr. Alvarez the African American studies teacher. That has a nice ring to it. You can do it. I believe in you.
