Chapter 5 – China’s Chinese
We are sitting at China’s Chinese and it honestly felt like we are in China and not London.This place had tables and chairs made out of bamboo. Lanterns, with Chinese script painted on them, are hung from the ceilings giving out a dim light. There are statues of china dolls used as decorations and most of the staff is from China. So basically it is an overload of Chinese, not that I minded because I love Chinese food!
“Ok sir, the lamb for you. Ma’am what about you, what will you have?” the waitress asks me, after taking Louis’s order.
“I’ll have the sweet chili pork please and the lemon iced tea, thank you.” I say, handing him the menu.
“Right, I’ll get your drinks first and then the food. The drinks should be ready in five minutes.” He says, before rushing off to the kitchen to give our orders.
“Sweet chili pork, huh? I can’t believe you still like that disgusting dish.” Smirks Harry.
“Hey! At least it’s better than your favorite seafood stew” I protest, trying not to gag when I remembered the horrendous taste of seafood.
“It’s so not. Remember that time when I tricked you into eating a piece of octopus and you threw up the moment you swallowed? That was hilarious.” Harry laughs, in fact now he’s laughing so hard that tears are streaming down his face.
“Well, if it helps, I hate octopus too, it’s absolutely disgusting!” says Liam, making a face as if remembering something unpleasant.
“Thank you Liam I wholeheartedly agree with you buddy.” I say, shooting Harry a glare. “And Har, did you forget the time you screamed so loud, you sounded like Justin Beiber when I threw a faux lizard on you?” I retort with an innocent smile.
Niall chokes on the water he was drinking as he starts laughing, Liam falls off his chairs, laughing his head off, Louis claps his hands while laughing like a maniac and Zayn bangs the table, trying to breathe in between his laughter. Even mom and Anne start laughing while Harry turns a crimson red.
“Well, it didn’t look fake and you know about my phobia of lizards.” Says harry, trying to save his dying reputation.
“Oh man, she does but we didn’t. Now that we know, you’d better watch out you heretophobic!” says Zayn with a mischievous smile.
Harry mumbles something incoherent just as the waiter comes with our drinks.
Lunch goes by pretty smoothly, the boys and I mingle well and it feels good to be near Harry and Anne again.
We order darsan and date pancakes with ice cream, which all of us share.
Mom and Anne end up paying the bill (after much argument on our behalf), dividing the sum into half.
Finally, after saying our goodbyes to everyone, mom and I head home in the car that my parents bought for me here in London.
“Well, did you like the surprise?” mom asks, as we make our way upstairs to my apartment.
“Yes, I did. Thank you momma.” I say giving her a tight hug. “I really appreciate that you’re doing this for me but you have to realize that now I’ll have to start doing things on my own because I’m going to live alone.” I tell her.
“I know sweetie, but I’m going to miss you so much!” she says, a few tears escaping her eyes.
“Oh mom, I’ll visit you and it’s only for a year and who knows? Maybe I’ll come back to NY after that.” I say, giving her a peck on the check.
“You’re right. Well I’m going to go take a nap, see you later hon.” She says before going to her room.
I sigh, before trudging to my room. I change into comfier clothes before settling on my bed. I start to go through the list that Rhonda gave me. It has the upcoming events that the boys have to attend to in the following week. She gave me their schedule so that I can decide their attire accordingly.
An hour later, I had jotted down a few ideas for two-three events in my notebook.
Bored, I decide to Face time Rebecca and dad. After talking to her for half an hour I do my Facebook and stuff and read my book a little before mom calls me or dinner.
After dinner, we watch some TV. Daniel did not contact me after the short message that he sent in the morning. I did not reply, ignoring whatever he had to so.
Tired I slump on my bed after the long day and my body soon succumbs to my awaiting dreams.
