Emetophobia

Chapter Three

    I get my apartment keys from the flower pot next to my door and unlock it. I open my door, close and lock it behind me, and slide down to the floor. I put my head into my knees and a tear slips down my face. "Why am I even crying?" I ask myself. My internal conversation with myself gets interrupted when all of the sudden, my phone rings. I pick it up without looking at the caller idea and answer it. "Hello?" I ask. "Rebecca! Hi Hunny! Are you almost for dinner tonight?" shit, it's my mom. "Um, what time is dinner again?" I ask her hoping that I at least have a half hour to get ready. "Leave in like an hour, I'll see you then!" And with that, she hangs up leaving me alone with my thoughts again. I slowly get up from my spot on the floor and walk to my bathroom to take a shower. 

    After I get out of the shower, I go to my closet and pick out skinny jeans, a lose fitting white shirt, and a leather jacket (A/N: outfit up top). I put everything on and rush to the bathroom to get my hair tamed and my makeup on. I do my normal makeup routine, just adding a darker smokey eye look. I glance at my phone seeing that I only have ten minutes till I have to leave, I just roll my eyes and start straightening my hair. 

    Once I'm done with that, I realize that I'm already five minutes late, great. I grab my car keys and head out. It's not raining that bad but it still is, my makeup better not run down my face I swear I'll be pissed. I step outside my apartment and head to my car. I unlock it and pull out of my spot and head to the restaurant.

    I pull up to the restaurant and turn off my car radio and open the door. I put my purse over my head and run to the front door. I look around to see my mom sitting alone at a table set for two. I take a deep breath before I walk over to the table. She turns around, her piercing green eyes meeting mine. I swallow hard before I sit down across from her. Her eyes follow me until I sit down in my chair. She clears her throat before she puts on one of her signature smiles. "Happy Birthday Rebecca!" She tells me as she takes both of my hands in hers. I force a smile for her only to be interrupted by the waiter. "Hello, I'm Louis and I'm going to be serving you tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?" I eyes widen, I know that voice, I know a guy named Louis. I slowly bring my head up and sure enough, there he is in his uniform. "I'll take a glass of white wine please." my mom tells him. I see him scribble down something on the tiny notepad and then picks his head up, making direct eye contact with me. "Hi Becca, what do you want to drink?" He asks me as a huge smile comes on hi face. I smile back to be nice and reply, "A coke please." I tell him in a small voice. He again brings his face down to the notepad and scribble something down. "I'll be right back with those for you." he tells us, walking away, disappearing into the kitchen.
