"Babe, what are you getting?"

I look up from my menu to see my girlfriend concentrating on the specials section. 

"Pussy" I simply respond. 

She looks at me, annoyed. Veronica rolls her eyes at me as I give her a cocky grin. She knows she can't resist my charm. We just continue to stare at each other. We were sitting in a two-seater booth closest to the back of I Hop. The longer she stares at me the bigger her smile gets. Veronica then laughs as though I told a joke.

"What are you laughing at baby?" I ask her giggling as she snorts from her obnoxious laughing.

"You and your corny ass responses"

I rear back with my hand on my chest as though she had royally offended me. 

"I'll have you know I've been working on that response for weeks now" I state very dramatically.

Her laughter dies down and she turns toward her menu again. Biting her lip in concentration. After staring at the same page on the menu for a full thirty seconds she raises her hand as though she just found Jesus. 

"I've found it, I Know what I'm gonna get"

"Yeah, me to" I say to her looking at the chicken and waffles platter.

We finish our food and have light humurous conversation. As the waitress comes up to the table she re-adjusts her breasts to look bigger and less deflated. She comes to me completely ignoring Vee completely. I shrink down deeper into my seat and begin to feel uncomfortable with the type of attention she was showing me.

"Are you ready to pay, or can I get you something more...fulfilling?" The waitress places her hand on my shoulder and slightly cuts her eyes at Vee. I was about to speak up because she was disrespectful but Veronica beat me to it.

"Um excuse me sweetheart, but could we speak to your manager?"

Vee's voice was sweet and calm. Any one who heard her speak in the way she was speaking now wouldn't think she was angry, but I knew Vee I knew she was angry. The waitress looked at Vee menacingly. The waitress was not attractive at all. She was a pale and pastey white woman with sagging breasts and thinning blonde hair. She reaked of alcohol and fried food. Not a good combination. She might have been in her early forties late thirties. I couldn't really tell.

"He's not here today. So if you have a complaint you gotta tell me" she spat at Vee. I could tell my baby was on the verge of spazzing out on her so I had to intervene.

"Uhm that's fine, can we get the check please?" I politely ask her. She looks at me and smiles showcasing her missing teeth on her bottom jaw.

"No problem baby. I'll be right back"

I look at Veronica who looks like she's about to let a bomb go off any minute. she was furious. 

"Babe she was a terrible waitress, don't let it get to you" I whisper grabbing her hand from across the table. Veronica stares at me with soft eyes.

"Let's just pay and go, but don't give her a tip, she doesn't deserve it" she whispers to me. 

"I won't. I promise"
