Cindi's POV

"Where are we going?"I asked, holding onto his hand tightly. I had a blindfold wrapped around my eyes so I couldn't see what's happening. "Will you just shut up and trust me?" He chuckled, and I clenched onto his hand tighter. We stopped walking and he said, "You ready?" I nodded and he took off the blindfold. "McDonald's?'' I was shocked and happy since McDonald's was one of my favorite fast food places. "I know, it's not much-"
"Not much? I don't care! It's still my favorite place!" I took his hand and walked inside with him.

"Hi, welcome to McDonald's. What can I get you?"

"We'll have-" I cut him off.
"I'll have; two McChickens, 10 piece nuggets, One large cup, one large fries, and a chicken burrito wrap." Jamie was shocked and the young woman laughed. "Will that complete your order?"

"Yes,''
"And for you?"
"Two McChickens and a small fry.''

"$16.44 is your final order." Jamie swiped his card and we sat at a booth and patiently waited. "I'm hungry!" I kept complaining and Jamie laughed.

"You can wait.''
"No, I can't. I'm literally going to die." I said dramatically, and exaggerating my death. "Your so extra. That's what I love about you." I blushed and fan myself. A few seconds later, they finally came with our food. "Finally!" I yelled, and unwrapped my burrito. I took a sip of my drink. I acted like I was doing an ASMR, by tapping on my drink and using the voice. Jamie busted out laughing and I told him to shush. "I'm sorry," He said using the voice as well.

I chuckled and took a big bite of my burrito. "I should've gotten a sundae." I said, whining. "Aw, poor baby, you got money?" Jamie teased and I rolled my eyes. "No, which is why your going to buy it for me."

"Nope."

"Okay, let's make a bet. If I can shoot a shot from here to the trashcan, you have to buy me one."

"Deal." We shook hands and I took and deep breath and made my shot. I made it and Jamie sucked his teeth and mumbled, "Man."

"Haha, I'll like a hot fudge sundae."


He rolled his eyes and got up. I watched as he waited in the line, glancing back at me. I smiled and mouthed, "A bet is a bet, and you lost.'' He mugged me and I laughed. I peeked in the window and saw Joshua and his friends, coming inside. Joshua stopped and looked at me. I heard him say, "one second" to Phil and some kids that went to our school. "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" I told him, in a sassy tone.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Your talking to me right now."

"Cindi, I'm so sorry for treating you like absolute garbage when you deserved better. I'm going to therapy and counseling everyday, I want us to be a couple. I want to be your boyfriend. I promise, if you give me a second chance, I'll treat you as a treasure. I won't cheat. I won't walk over you. And if you want, I'll continue to see therapy. I'll give you all the time you want. All the time you need."

"I'm sorry, too..."
"It's okay. I-"

"For trying to be with you. For supporting you. You played me, and let me tell you, it ain't going to happen again. I swear to god, if you ever fuck with me or someone I love, I'll hurt you. I'll make you regret for ever trying to get with me. Have a nice life, Joshua. Karma comes back. It will hit you as hard as a bitch."


I picked up all my trash, and saw Jamie coming. "Didn't I tell your punk ass to never come back here or speak to my girl." Jamie wrapped his arm around me. "Bro, It's not what you think-"

"I don't care what you were talking to her about! Just stay away from her."


Jamie collected our trash and put our uneaten food into the McDonald's bag and carried our stuff. "Thank you for backing me up." I said and he nodded. "I'm excited for homecoming tomorrow." He said.

"Right, I forgot!"

"And, I'm happy your my date." I smiled at him and we pulled out of the parking lot.
