Ch. 6 Bitch Crazy.

I walk into the kitchen where where I see my mom cooking while my dad is at the counter drinking his black coffee and reading his newspaper.

"Good morning," I say.

"Morning," my parents replies.

"Want some waffles?" my mom asks.

"Sure," I say. "Just couple since I do not want to be late for work."

"Okay," my mom says.  She gives me four waffles and places the syrup in front of me.

"Enjoy Al," my mom says.

"I will," I reply grinning.

I woof down the waffles and drink my orange juice.

"Well I am off to work," I say as I walk over to kiss my mom on the cheek.

"By dad, mom," I say.

"Bye," my parents reply in unison.

I grab my wallet, keys and my apron and walk out the door and close it. I unlock my car and get in it. I drive around ten minutes to get to the Starbucks where I work at. I park the car and enter the store where I greet my manager Aaron and my other co workers. I then walk behind the counter and begin to work by taking the customers orders and making the drinks as well. After working the eight hour shift, I order a frappuccino and say good bye to my co-workers. As I walk out of the store when Ryan runs out after me.

"Dude you forgot your check," Ryan yells.

"Right," I say, grinning. "Thanks. Dang, I just got paid."

"Yeah," Ryan says grinning. "See you next week bro."

"See yeah," I reply.

I jump into my car and drive home. Once I get there, I park my car and enter my house. I walk up to my bathroom so I can shower and get ready for my date with Ashely.

---

After picking up Ashely from her house, we drive over to Buca di Beppo where we mutually agree to go on a date. After parking the car, I get out of the car and being a gentleman that I am, I walk over to Ashely's side and open the door for her.

"Wow," Ashley states, blushing. "And here I thought that chivalry is dead."
"Well not with this guy," I state.

I walk with Ashley into the restaurant where I tell the hostess the number of my party and my name. After the hostess write down the name, she turns to me and states,

"Your table will be ready in ten minutes."

"Thank you," I reply.

Ashley and I walk over to the waiting area where we wait for our table. After waiting for ten minutes, the hostess come into the waiting area.

"Your table is ready. Please follow me." she announces to us.

"Okay," Ashely and I both respond.

We follow the hostess to the table where we both sit down.

The hostess hands us the menus.

"Your server will be with you shorty," the hostess states.

"Thank you," I reply, gratefully.

As soon as the hostess leaves, I turn to Ashley and grin.

"Do you know what you want?"

"Yeah," Ashley replies. "We will split the small spaghetti and meatballs, small carimari and bread as well."

"Okay," I say. "Sounds good." We wait for the waiter. Soon enough, a waiter arrives at our table.

"My name is Dusty, and I will be your waiter this evening. Do you want any drinks?"
