Dark Waters

Food

I wake up from an amazing dream with a blanket tucked tightly on top of me. I must have fallen asleep, what time is it? I pull out my phone and instantly get even happier. 7:00pm. That meant dinner time, which meant food. Ah.

With my dark red top and jeans, my hair tied in a lose bun, I make my way to the dining room. As I enter, I scan the room for Alex... sorry Alexander wondering where he had vanished from the room but quickly get distracted by the delicious aroma of food all around. I pick a quiet spot in the corner and pick up the menu, scanning the various options. Just as I am about to order, I see him waltz in with a beautiful girl on his arm. They sit down and talk animatedly. Hmm who is that? His girlfriend? His sister? Well, they didn't have any resemblance, he had black hair while hers was blonde, he was tall and slim while she was short but still slim, he looked like he was straight out of a good teenage love story while she was ... wait what? Teenage love story? Really?
Oh please.
My eyes reluctantly drift back to more important things. Like the menu.

After ordering, I ponder further over my baseless thoughts but not for too long as the food arrived in record time. I felt blessed to see my pizza and pasta in front of me and my mouth started watering at the sight. Smiling up and thanking the waiter I start eating.
While Im busy in my food ecstasy, I don't notice Alexander when he comes and sits down at my table. I only realize he's there when he clears his throat and looks at me annoyed. Oops

"You know I've been sitting here for like 5 minutes now right?"

"What? Oh.. ahem.. um, I kinda got a little too invested in the food?"

"... I see"

Burp

My eyes widen as I slap a hand over my mouth. How the hell did I just do that? Why the hell did I just do that?
I cautiously glance up at Alexander who looks quite unfazed and amused

"Right... soo what brings you here to have such an engaging conversation with me?" I ask him sheepishly

"I just wanted to ask for your name so I at least know what name to tell the police if you try to murder me in my sleep. But judging from your very interesting dinner etiquette I don't consider you capable of doing that anymore" he answers

I blink once.
I blink twice.
I give him a lopsided smile and continue eating, staring up at him

He blinks once.
He blinks twice.

He stares at me with a very strange look and then swiftly gets up and walks away shaking his head and muttering some thing about drugs?
As soon as he is out of sight, I mentally and physically face palm myself. Why was I such a fool? He probably thinks I'm an idiot!
Oh well.
I suddenly realize my food is getting cold.
And for the 3rd time today,

I continue eating.
