"two big chicken kebab sets, please." bella said to the dark-skinned guy behind the register. 

"spicy or not?" the guy asked.

"one spicy and the other not spicy." bella answered.

"you like spicy food?" baby asked her.

"no. i hope you do." she stated with a smirk on her face. baby scoffed and rolled his eyes at her.

"oh, my god." he said quietly to himself.

"what about drinks? coke, sprite or juice?"

"two cokes."

"any sauce for the fries?"

"what do you want?" bella asked baby.

"sour cream sauce, please." baby said. 

"and bbq for the spicy set." bella said to the cashier. 

"alright." the guy said and gave them a wooden cube with the number eight on it. "sit wherever you like."

bella payed and took the cube and she and baby found themselves a table by the window. it only had two chairs, each at the opposite side of the table. 

"so." bella said. baby raised an eyebrow. 

"so?" he repeated. 

"what's your favorite color?" she asked. 

"i like blue and red." baby responded. 

"they're counter-colors." bella stated. 

"i guess i like contrast." he shrugged. "what about you?" 

"i like pastel colors, so that's like all of them. but blue, too. deep sea blue." she replied. baby nodded. "what do you do for fun?"

"drive."

"really?" bella raised her eyebrows and smiled. "wow, then you're like a real man, right?"

baby scoffed and laughed. "why?"

"well, because it's like common for boys to like cars. what my mom told me was that if a boy likes a car, he's totally a boy. but if we can drive a car, he's a man." she explained.

"uh-huh..." baby nodded with narrowed eyes. "interesting theory."

"i know, explains a lot about males. you have a license, right?"

baby nodded. an illegal one. 

the cashier guy came up to bella and baby's table and placed a tray filled with food in front of them. "enjoy your meal." he said and left.

bella looked at one of the kebab's white package and then took it in her hands. baby suspiciously took the other one, looking at its package, too. there was text all over the package and next to every one or two words was a small rectangle. one of them had a cross written in it with a pen, and it was next to the words not spicy.

baby smirked and opened the kebab package. it was still warm, and the kebab really looked similar to a burrito. baby pushed the package down a little so he could bite off a piece of the kebab.

"did you really think i'd let you eat a spicy kebab as your first kebab?" bella asked baby as he was taking his first bite of the kebab. he faintly smiled with his mouth full and bella looked away, her mouth full, too. baby's face was too funny, she couldn't look.

baby didn't understand what her fuss was all about, he just kept eating his kebab. "i like this." he said, almost done eating. "pakistan spicy burrito. minus spicy."

bella giggled at baby. he almost thought he was dreaming. did she really? baby glanced at her, she was now munching on her kebab. her hair was falling down on each side of her face in curls. she curled her hair. it didn't look bad, but baby liked how her hair looked better naturally wavy.

"what is it?" bella asked, disrupting baby from his observations. he looked away and shook his head. 

"nothing." baby said. you're just beautiful.

the game wasn't anything special. not for baby, at least. their team won over the mariettas, everyone was cheering about that. the team and their friends talked about celebrating the big win. they offered baby to come, but he declined.

bella and jessie looked happy as ever. they were all over each other after the game, making baby sick. as much as he wanted to study them and understand what was wrong, he couldn't. the thought of jessie touching and kissing bella was too much. baby felt weird about bella. 

she had kissed him on the cheek before leaving with jessie and other friends, which astounded baby more than anything. he sat in his car after leaving the stadium, keeping his hand on a spot bella's lips were pressed on.
