Costco Kisses

A Somewhat Drunken Food Fight

When I fluttered my eyes open I was greeted with immense pain in my head and my jaw hurt really fucking bad.

"Fuck...what the fuck happened?" I looked around, I was at Charlotte's house and I saw Tajon, Miriam, Danielle and Chloe in the dining room. Tajon looked over and as soon as he saw I was awake he ran over.

"Holy shit, you're finally awake," He said while smiling at me. Miriam and Chloe walked over.

"Guys mind explaining what the fuck happened?" I said and clutched my head. Whenever I talked my head felt like it was going to implode. I also noticed that I was not wearing the dress I remember wearing earlier. I was wearing some pajama shorts and a tank top.

"Well," Tajon rubbed the back of his neck, "you kind of got into a brawl with a racist hostess at a fancy Asian restaurant and now we're banned..."

"What the fuck..." I whispered and Miriam started snickering.

"Don't worry, I was the one who changed you," Miriam said as she noticed I kept looking at my clothes. Everything hurt so badly, I had a headache, my hands hurt but most of all I was starving.

I sighed and closed my eyes, they all waited in anticipation of what I was going to say.

"I want Inn N Out..." I sighed out. They all started snickering, I could even hear Danielle snickering from across the room. I smiled and started laughing a bit but I stopped abruptly because it hurt.

"Okay, we'll just text Charlotte, Alehka and Juliana to pick some up while they're out-"

"No! I wanna go to Inn N Out," I said cutting Tajon off and trying to get up.

I rubbed my face and leaned up until I was sitting on the couch. Everyone was extending their hands out trying to help me but I swatted them all away.

"I just don't know if that's a great-"

"You promised me dinner! I want to go to Inn N Out," I said and pointed towards my converse across the room. Miriam went up and got them and started putting them on my feet.

"Are you sure you're up to it?" Chloe asked worriedly.

"Guys, guys I'm fiiiinnnnneeee," I said slurring my words. Huh? This is what it feels like to be drunk.

"Hey," Miriam said grabbing my arm as I was about to get up, "maybe we should wait until Charlotte comes home with the ibuprofen?" She was talking to me like I was a baby.

"Nobody put's baby in a corner!" I yelled out grabbing onto Tajon to help me up. I stood up and grabbed on Tajon's arm.

"I can't believe you all forgot my birthday!" I said and laughed as they all looked around puzzled. As Tajon started walking me out the door, I said:

"Step on it Mr. Driver man!" and we were out the door.

Once we got to Inn N Out I felt a little less delirious and I just wanted to scarf down a cheese burger or five. When we walked in I saw a boy from a few of my classes at the cash register. I couldn't recall his name though.

When we got up to the cash register I looked at his name tag-Will. When he looked up at us he originally had a smile before he scowled at Tajon.

"What are you doing here, you are BANNED!" He yelled in the end. Tajon sighed defeated and looked at in a pleading way.

"Please my girlfriend just had a concussion and all she want's is a double double, is that so much to ask?" He said and she looked at me hugging Tajon's arm in disbelief.

"Kyla? I didn't even realize that was you...what happened to your face?" He said smiling at me then looking over and scowling at Tajon.

"I got in a fight with some racist chick at a fancy restraint so I never got the food and I am starving!"

"Oh...well I'm sorry but I can't serve you if you're with him, I'll get fired..." He said and smiled in remorse.

"Can I just get a god dammed burger before I make a scene?" Tajon said and Will looked back over to him and said:
"Get the fuck out," she whispered, "last warning."

"I think the fuck not!" Tajon said and picked up a cheeseburger from the counter beside him and threw it into Will's face.

"FOOD FIGHT!" I yelled and grabbed some guy's burger and threw it across the room. It hit another lady and she threw one back. In a few minutes everyone was throwing food. Tajon and I were covered in ketchup and fries. Before it got to crazy Tajon had jumped over the counter, grabbed a tray with two burgers and fries on it and jumped back over. He grabbed my hand and we bolted.

"That was fun," I said and tried to sit down on the curb in front of the shop. Before my butt touched the ground Tajon grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

"What are you doing? We can't just sit here, I think he called the cops. We need to run," he said and started running down the street towards the mall next door. We ran into one of the alleyways next to the CVS: pharmacy and sat down, trying to catch our breaths.

Tajon pulled out a cigarette and tossed the food to the ground. He lit up and I opened the bag and started eating my cheeseburger. Damn was it good. At this point I could care less about the cops, my headache or the fact that Tajon was smoking. I was just having fun. Breaking the rules for once.

"Wanna do this again sometime?" Tajon asked looking at the sun setting. I looked up at him and admired his face and the way he radiated coolness. I smiled.

"Anytime you want."
