Our Infamous Romance

Chapter 6

Sam looked around the restaurant for a certain tall, tattooed, handsome man. Her brain started to come up with scenarios again; "I know that they invited me but what if he just couldn't stand me and decided to just stay on the bus? No Sam that's crazy, remember he helped you up from the couch. And remember the look he gave you? There's no way that he wou-" "Sam! You who!!!" Sam was snapped out of her thoughts by Ricky waving his hand in front of her face. "Oh, uh what?" Sam asked. Everyone laughed. "What are you in such deep thought about?" Ryan asked with a smile on his face. "Oh, I-um...where's Chris?" Sam stuttered out. Ricky laughed and smiled, "taking care of something that...how can I put this? Is not appropriate for a family friendly restaurant especially when you're wearing skinny jeans." "Wait what?!?" Sam screamed out between laughs. Sam peeked out of the corner of her eye and saw the people at the other tables were looking at them. For once Sam didn't blame someone for looking, there was a table of six people, five of them covered in black paint, and Sam was pretty damn sure that they were the loudest people in the restaurant. That alone would make someone look. "Hey," Balz said. "When a girl falls into your lap...you kinda can't help it." "Yeah, it has a mind of its own." Angelo piped in. "Hey speak of the devil!" Ghost yelled. Sam turned around and saw Chris come in the door. She noticed he changed into a Misfits shirt and black, leather, skinny jeans. He also had put on a black, leather jacket with spikes all over it. A man who wore leather AND suits, that was straight up sexy. Sam sent him a smile as he sat down in the only open seat which was directly across from her; Sam swore that she saw his cheeks flush. "Did you get your...stuff taken care of?" Ryan asked. Chris slammed his hand on the table and glared over at Ricky who was sitting to her left. "Ricky!" "What?" Ricky asked innocently. Sam felt her cheeks heat up. "You know what!" Chris yelled back. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" Ricky said between laughs. By now the entire table was chuckling. "You fucking liar! I know you told everyone that I had a fucking boner!" At that exact moment a waitress came over and meekly asked: "are we ready to order or..." Chris slammed his other hand on the table "Yes we are!" The waitress got wide-eyed. She was tall, with brown hair that reached her shoulder blades, and she had a monroe piercing. "Um, okay then....what will you have?" "Seven orders of chicken wings, the spiciest on the menu, and all the side sauces." Chris said. The waitress wrote their order down with a blue pen and Sam noticed she had hot pink acrylic nails. "Okay, now do you all want matching drinks?" The waitress laughed but no one else did. "That was a joke..." The waitress squeaked out. "Oh..." Angelo said. "So ummm, what do you guys want to drink?" The waitress asked again. She went clockwise around the table starting with Ghost; "Summer Ale."

"Same."

"Bud Light."

"Miller High Life."

"Bud."

"Summer Ale."

"Guinness."

"Okay then, we'll be right over with your order." She said and quickly walked off.

It was silent at the table until Ricky burst out laughing. Sam felt her face grow hot again as Chris glared at Ricky. "What?" He asked. "Nothing...." Ricky said between laughs "I just noticed that you changed your pants is all." Everyone but Chris lost it, they were doubled over laughing. Sam's vision was blurred as tears filled her eyes from laughing so much. She wiped her eyes and looked over at Chris who was smiling and shaking his head but he was looking down at the table. "I was sweaty ok! I played a fucking set! I was sweaty as hell and unlike you guys I don't like running around smelling like fucking BO!" Chris yelled smiling. "You guys?" Sam asked "last time I checked I was a girl." "Not you." Chris said smiling. It was quiet again until this time Ghost broke the silence: "So Sam... I notice that you got some tattoos...what's that on the bat's wing? I can't really see." He said smiling. Suddenly all at once everyone moved their heads to try and look at her arm. Sam had a half sleeve on her right arm all in black and gray. It consisted of three big roses with five bats swarming around the flowers like bees would. On one of the bat's wings, there was a tiny Motionless In White logo. On the inside of her tricep she had an Asking Alexandria quote from their song "Run Free". It read "You won't be alone in the end. You don't have to be afraid." She also had a cobweb around her elbow kinda like Chris did. "What is it?" Ricky whined "I can't see." Sam smiled, "Oh nothing, just some roses, bats, a cobweb, an Asking Alexandria quote, a Motionless In White logo..." "Really? Oh shit!" Ricky said and reached over and grabbed her arm and spun her around in the chair so she was now facing backwards. "Oh shit!" Sam yelled as he spun her. Ricky had a tight grip on her arm as he examined it. "That's pretty fucking awesome!" Ricky yelled. By this time everyone had crowded around her and were examining her arm. "Hey Chris..." Balz said "She's got a cobweb just like you." Sam felt herself blush. "Hey," Chris said smiling. "Creepy minds think alike." By this time everyone was back in their seats and it was quiet again. "So Sam..." Angelo said "is there anything more about you we should know?" Sam looked up at the ceiling trying to think. "Fuck...brain dead. Can we just do this or that like in those interviews? "Sure." Angelo said. "Ummm... Cats or dogs?"
