Chapter 18

Liz's P.O.V

"Let's go."Chase said flipping the keys of the Jag.

"What?"I almost shouted shocked.

Chase Foster cares that I am hungry.What?Did I move to fast and enter a paradoxical timeline?

"Well,you said I'm hungry.I'm very hungry too.So let's ditch and go eat something outside."He said emphasising every word as if I was a five-year old.

Oh that's what's it!He is hungry.Nobody cares about my grumbling empty stomach.

We left the rave and were in the car in 45 seconds.

It was pretty quiet up in here.Awkwardly quiet.

"So where are we going?"I said looking at him.

"Well,if you were expecting fine-dining,we ain't getting that.It's almost 2.So a pizzeria which I highly doubt but a diner might be open."He said smirking,stepping on the gas pretty hard.

"You're back.I guess you can't be civil for more than one minute.Why do people assume a princess always wants fóie gras?"I said hissing and folded my hands.

"Drama Queen."He muttered.

"What did you just call me?"I said almost yelling at top of my voice.

"You heard what I said."He said annoyed.
"Yes.But I-"He cut me off and completed my sentence"but you want to hear it again so that you can justify yourself.Don't you think that's a lot of 'drama'?"He said making air quotes.

"Buzz off.Keep your hands on the steering wheel."I said growling.

After a while,we passed the Grey Mansion and suddenly I was on a very familiar road.It led to the Steele's mansion.

We passed the house in silence.We both did not acknowledge it but I just could not take my eyes off it until it disappeared,of course.

Suddenly,we took a sharp right.I knew where we were going.

"We're going to Wendy's,aren't we?"I said smiling.

"Yep.I didn't think that you-"He was just finishing his sentence but I think he saw me glaring at him.

"Text Sebastian."He said as he parked in the all-familiar parking lot.

I texted him that Chase and me were at Wendy's.

Just as soon as we entered,I was engulfed in a bear hug by someone.I almost tripped in these heels but balanced myself.

"Oh darling!I missed you."Wendy said as she broke the hug.

"Me too,Wendy."I said smiling sadly at the poor woman's condition.She looked tired and just defeated by the world.

"I'm very sorry about Matt.He was such a sweet boy.Such a young age.May God rest his soul.I could not come to the funeral.I wanted to but family problem.But I went to his house and nobody was there.Instead a family was living there who seemed to have no idea about the Gringotts family."She said looking confused and definitely disturbed by it.

"Yeah.I know.I went there too but nobody was there."I said smiling and trying to be as convincing as possible.

Chase was probably looking at us all weirdly and little bit shocked.He was just inside the door.

Wendy wiped off her tears which I did not notice before.
"Oh C!I did not see you.I'm sorry.She just came in after so long.It's been more than a year."She said looking at me with adoration.

"No problem,Wendy.I know you love me too."He said smiling like a kid.I swear I'd never seen him smile so bright.

"Of course I do,my child."She said laughing.
She signalled us to a corner booth which was my favourite booth and asked us how we knew each other and if we were juniors or seniors..etc.

"So what would you like for dinner,my lovelies?"

Chase ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a vanilla milkshake.

"And what about you dearie?The usual?"She said still scribbling on the notepad.

I froze on the spot but soon recovered.
"Actually no,I'll have Chilli and Cheese fries with a strawberry milkshake and peach cobbler with ice-cream."

"Good choice.Food for Booth 7 coming right up."She said as she tore the slip and left us alone.

"You used to come with your brother?"Chase asked playing with the sauce bottles.

"No.They don't know about this place."I said smirking.

"Oh okay."He said shrugging.
We were quiet for a long time that I had to say something.

"I used to come here with Matt,sometimes.You know they have the best-"
"Pancakes in the world.Yes,I know."He said smiling like before.

"So how did you come to know about it?"I asked curious.

"Sebastian brought us here."He said as he switched on to the mustard bottle.

"Do you smile like that because of food in general or just this place?"I asked in an amused tone.

"What?"He said still smiling.

To be honest,it was a little creepy but he seemed like a kid who saw Santa in Christmas.
It was so cute.

Chase is your colleague.No bad thoughts.No relations with Chase.I mentally scolded my mind but he was still looking cute now.We agreed on that.
But he was hot.I could see his abs through his tight t-shirt and as much as I am used to this and not affected by it(mostly),you have to admit-Chase Foster is very hot.

Suddenly,the bell rang and Sebastian and Marco entered.They hugged Wendy by turn and I think even gave their order right there.

Chase waved at them and they came to sit with us.
I slid in towards the window and Marco slid next to me.

"Glad to see both of you are on talking and civil terms."Marco said hinting to me and Chase.

Sebastian smirked in response.

"Oh did you know?Wendy knows her from way before."Chase said excitedly.

"Yes.She told us that she did not know we were friends."Sebastian replied.

We were interrupted by our food.Chase and my order had arrived.

Wendy placed the fries between me and Marco and did the same with Chase's burger being between the two boys.

Chase slid the plate to his side but just as Sebastian stole some fries.

"Man,not cool."Chase said before digging in.Literally digging in.

Boys and food.
I sighed and slid my fried between Marco and Sebastian and took one for my own.

"You can share until your food arrives.I don't mind.I also have a peach cobbler to finish.Alone."I said marking my sweet territory.

Marco hesitantly took one and nodded as a way of saying thank you to me.Sebastian did the same.

Let's just say till their food came there was not a drop of chilli left in the bowl and after that not a minuscule bit of cobbler left for any of the boys.
Sad,really!
