chapter 3

"well I'm sorry Carl, at anytime you're welcome to come over and eat dinner with us or anything you need." My mother said I look over at Carl and he brightens up from the statement my mother just made.

"Thank you, that means a lot." He said looking over at me and smirks.

"Oh! You passed the diner!" Carl said looking back.

"Oh, shot! Hold on." My mother makes a hard U turn and I slide over, Carl and I are arm to arm.

I look over at him and I quickly jump back. "Sorry didn't mean to invade your personal spaced."

"It's alright babygirl." He said sending shivers down my back.

"Alright, this is the place?" Mom said turning her head to carl.

"Yes, this is the right place." My mother nods her head and turns off the car. I unbuckle my seatbelt and open my door I hold it open so Carl can get out and I can shut the door.

"I got it honey, you can go in." Carl said getting out of the car and taking the door from me, he shuts it and we start to walk towards my mother who is waiting by the door, Carl opens the door for both me and my mother.

"Thank you." Me and my mother both say.

We get in and wait at the front desk for someone to come and greet us and show us the table we will be sitting at, I observed my the diner and there is no one here other than a cute little old couple in the back corner.

I see a nice looking girl walking towards us, she has her hair up in a ponytail it's brown and she has pretty brown eyes, she finally walked over to us and started to talk breaking me from my thoughts.

"Hello, I am Fiona I'll be serving you today. How many is in your party?" She asked

"Just three." my mother said

She looks over by me to see the third person in our group, once she saw her eyes widened.

I look over at Carl to see them throwing looks back and forth at each other.

"Right This way, would you guys prefer a window seat?" She asked looking back at my mother as we are walking.

"Um, no anything is really fine." My mother said lifting her sides up to me indicating she wasn't sure what to answer with.

"Well this seat should be fine." The nice waitress said, it is a booth with two sides I sit to the right and my mother sits in front of me Carl sat down by me and got as close as he could.

I'm not sure if he knows  what the fuck personal space is but he is way past it.

"What can I get you to drink?" The nice waitress lady said looking down at me, shit I didn't even get time I look over the drinks. If it's a diner than they have coffee so I'll go with that, "I would like a coffee with plain creamer and 2 spoons of sugar." I say with a cheesy smile on my face.

She goes around the table and asked everyone what they wanted, she got to Carl and she wrote something down.

"Sprite?" She said

"Yeah that's alright." He responded back. She takes a piece of paper from her little note pad and wrote something down and flipped it to where I couldn't read it and slid it over to Carl.

"Do you need a minute to look over the menu or shall I take your order now?" She said getting her pin and note pad ready.

"I just want some chocolate chip pancakes." I say closing my menu and placing it in front of her so she can grab it when it's ready.

My mother ordered the combo of eggs, bacon, toast, and a waffle.

She didn't even ask Carl what he wanted and than walked away.

"So Carl, did you not want anything?" My mother asked looking his way.

He picks the paper that the waitress slid to him. He ready it than looks back up at my mom. I look over and try to see what the note had written on it but he crumbled it and put it in his pocket. I wonder if he is into this girl or something, or if they are a thing.

"Carl?" My mother said trying to get his attention. He looked up and made I contact with me than my mother.

"Yes ma'am?" He said staring back at my mother.

"Why didn't you get food?" She asked.

"Oh, I did, she always knows what I want I order the same thing every time." He said with a smile on his face.

"Do you come here a lot?" I ask and her turns his head to make eye contact with me.

"Well, kinda yeah, usually every morning before school. That waitress is my sister she is the one that watches over all of us. She brings us here every morning to eat since she is dating the boss we get free meals." He says.

"Hm, that's pretty rad." Is all I say before I see the waitress come back with our food along with the drinks.

"Chocolate chip pancakes?" She said and I raise my hand telling her its mine.

"Breakfast combo?" My mother raised her hand.

She assumed the last plate was Carl's so she set it down in front of him. He had some good looking food to be totally honest.

Fiona finally sets my coffee down and I look at it, it looks great, they put wiped cream on it and just wow.

"Anything else I can get for you guys?" She said

"No, I'm good." I look around the table to see if anyone else needed anything.  My mother and Carl both shake there head and with that the waitress walks away.
