Chap: 2 Hello

Emma's POV

Walking into Olive Garden, I saw my best friend Leila, she was looking at her phone with a smile. I walked over to the bench, and stood in front of her.

"The bathroom is....Oh hey Em." She said with a smile. I chuckled.

"Yeller." I replied.

"Table?"

"Table."

We walked over to the stand, and the small girl behind the counter asked, "Table for two?"

"Ye.."

"No!" Leila shouted, making me look at her weird.

"Floor please."

"Excuse me?" The girl asked.

"Floor for two please." Leila said in the most serious tone. I broke out in laughter.

"Yes table for two." I choked out.

"Ok..." She said gathering the menus.

"Right this way." 

We walked to the very back, and she sat us at the booth in the back. Wow, she thinks we are crazy...Huh, she's right. She sat our menus down, and scurried away.

"That was great Lei, honestly."

"Yeah, but they better hurry...I'm starving."

"You always are."

Our conversation was interrupted by our waiter, "Hi, I'm Cody, I'll be your server. What can I get you to drink?"

When I looked up, I looked straight back down. That's the guy, oh no.

"Em." I heard, but I was to stuck in my thoughts.

"Emma!" I snapped out of it when I got shook by Leila.

"What the frick do you want to drink?!"

"Waiter." I said trying to send signals to Lei.

"What was that?" Cody asked.

"Water." I said a bit louder.

"Ok, I'll grab you some bread sticks, and salad ladies." He smiled walking off.

"What was that Em?!" Leila whisper shouted.

"He's that guy." I said finding the table interesting.

"Code Red Guy?" She asked. I just shook my head.

"Wow, oh, wow..." She started. "He be fine Fam." 

"Lei now is not the time!" I said slamming my fist on the table.

"Ok...Sorry." She muttered smiling.

"Here's the salad, and bread sticks. Would you like cheese?"

"No, but I would like something else..." Lei said smirking my direction. I furrowed my brows, what the hay is she thinking.

"What would that be?" He asked. I was just looking at his features. His slightly messy brown hair, which I noticed has some green in it. His eyes were grey, but so beautiful. His jawline could legit cut me. 

"You." My head whipped so fast, and my eyes snapped to hers. She had an evil grin on her face. I'm sure I looked mortified. I heard him chuckled.

"I don't think it's you who wants me in the salad." He stated.

"You know what you're so right." She replied both of them looking at me.

"What?" My voice was high and squeaky. Oh boy, I thought I got over this stage. They both broke out in laughter.

"Her voice." He laughed.

"I know," She laughed, "It only happens when she's nervous." She calmed down.

"Oh really now." He smirked. I just stayed quiet.

"Chicken Parm." I squeaked.

"I'll have...hmmmm...what she's having." Just like that everything went back to normal.

"Ok I'll have it out in a bit."

After that we chatted about New York, and when our food arrived, we just ate. When our check arrived, I was disappointed it wasn't Cody. When I looked inside, on my receipt was a number, and under it, was a name scribbled. I smiled, and added him in my contacts. Not like I'll even use it, right?
