I leaned back on the counter both hands supporting me. "Well," I said with a sigh "that was a disaster." I said looking around at the mess of a kitchen we have. "Well I made three whole pancakes." Steve said with a proud grin. I laughed looking at his deformed pancakes. "Well you go ahead and eat your pancakes." I said starting to turn to walk out if the kitchen. "Wait," he called out to me. I slightly turned my body towards him."What are you going to eat?" he asked. I smiled at him. "As delicious as those pancakes look I think I'm going to just go out for breakfast." I watched him as he looked at his pancakes. "I think I'll join you." he said still staring at the pancakes. His face twitched slightly as uf ge were disgusted the looked towards me again. "When do you want to leave?" I asked him. My stomach suddenly growled really loud. I cringed slightly byt hid it hid best I could. He let out a small laugh before replieing. "Now is fine." I jumped towards the coffee table where my house keys and car keys layed. "Great I'm starving." I said while practically running out the door. He followed me out and sat in the passenger seat of my car. "Um Steve, you need to buckle you seat belt." I say with a giggle. Wait did I just giggle? Steve looked a little embarrassed but buckled it anyway.

I pull into the parking lot trying to finish my explanation to Steve on who Bob jovi is. "Where are we?" he asked confusion obvious on his face. "Ihop" I replied simply. "Whats Ihop?" he asked turning to look at me. "International House of Pancakes." I say as I climb out of the car. He nods as he looks around observing everything. I walking in and up to the lady at the counter. "How many?" She asked but seemed to be distracted. "Two." I replie evenly. She let out a small gasp. "You are Angelina Stark!" She said rather loudly. "Shhh!" I beg looking back at Steve to se him obervate the spatula shaped door handle. "I would like to keep my last name on the down low." I beg as I look back at her. Her eyes were large as she nodded to me. "Follow me." she said quietly. I called to Steve and he hustled over and followed us to a booth right in the middle of the restraunt. I sat down and Steve sat across from me. I stared at Steve for a moment. His eyes wandered the menu and he looked a little surprised. I quickly looked down at my menu so I wouldn't get caught staring. Another lady walked up to our table. "Can I take your order?" she asked. She was wearing a white button up blouse and a black mini skirt. Her eyes immediately went to Steve. she bit at the end of her pen trying to be sexy. Steve didn't notice her flirtatious notion. I sighed. "Can we have a few more minutes to look over the menu?" I asked. She nodded not taking her eyes off of Steve. As soon as she walked away I glanced over at Steve. He had a shocked expression. His eyes darted up to me. "Cola cola is still around? Wow!" I laughed at his excited statement. "What do you want to eat?" I asked looking down at my menu again even though I already knew what I wanted. "I don't know maybe just a breakfast burrito? Whatever that is." I laughed. "Yeah they are good you'll like it." I said giving him a small smile. "What are you getting?" he asked a little curious.  "The funny face pancake." I said giving him a big crazy smile. It soon went away as I saw our waiter come walking back. Her skirt was pulled up higher trying to show off and the top few buttons of her blouse were undone. When she got to our table I noticed her purposely drop her pen. She gave a smile and she bent over to pick it up. All her junk was showing and Steve, again, didn't notice her flirty ways. She stood back up looking at Steve. "What can I get you?" She asked before biting her lip and letting her eyes rake his body. "Just a breakfast burrito and some eggs." he said looking up at her with a smile. "Anything particular?" She asked giving him a lustful look. "Surprise me." wow he is flirting with her and not even knowing it. "And you she?" She asked giving me a death glare. Wow and what did I do to her. "Butter milk funny face pancake with some ba-" I was cut off. "Okay coming right up. She gave Steve another glance before spinning and walking away making sure her skirt flew up to show up to show her butt. I sighed looking at Steve. He hadn't noticed any of what just happened. She was really pissing me off. Wait, am I jealous? No I couldn't be Steve is just a friend; a assignment. "So..." I began trying to make our silence a bit more comfortable. "We should try to get to know each other. I mean we will be living together for a while." I say trying to start conversation. "What was your childhood like?" he asked me curiosity enlaced in his tone. I gave the smallest smile ever. "My childhood and my life is a very complicated and long story." I say looking away from his gaze. Just to return to it seconds later. "But tell me all about your life and the 40's." I say giving his the best smile I could manage. "Nit much to talk about seeing as I have been frozen for 70 years." he fumbled around with his hands in the table. His face looking down. Without thinking u reached out and grabbed his hand. I rubbed my thumb across it to make him feel better. His eyes grew wide and shot up to look at me. I quickly let go. "Sorry I was just teying to comfort you." I mumble as I glance at the floor. "No its-its fine its just... that ment a lot in the 40's." I felt my cheeks redden a bit. Just at that moment our waitress walked up setting down multiple plates. She set down a very delicious looking breakfast burrito in front of Steve along with a plate full of eggs. She then set down a badly burned piece if French toast infornt of me. I looked up to her. "This isn't what I ordered and its burned rather badly." she shrugged at my statement and walked away. I sighed and picked uo my fork picking at it a bit. "Do you want to order something else?" I looked up at him. "Well I mentioned it and she ignored me she would probably just mess it up again." i sighed looked down once again at my food. "Here." Steve said Curtin his burrito in half. "Eat this." I smiled at him. "Thanks."

We had finished the burrito and he shared his eggs too. I kept thanking him but he would just shrug it off. When we got our bill the girls number was scribbled at the bottom. She was such a slut. I walked up to the counter to pay. The same lady that showed us to our table was there. She smiled at me. "Did you enjoy your meal?" she asked with another smile. I sighed. "Not really no. The waiter messed up my order and burned it badly. plus she kept flirting with him." I looked over at Steve.  "Oh I'm sorry her dad is the manger so we have no choice but to deal with it." For the hundredth time today I sighed. I finished paying and said thanks to the lady. Before I could turn around she whispered "You guys are a really cute couple." This made me blush tomato red. I smiled before walking away.

We got home around noon. I sat on the couch turning in the t.v. Steve sat down on the other side off our couch.

Its about 6:30. I'm laying on the couch with ny feet in Steve's lap. I'm laughing at him as I try to explain the show friends to him. He laughing with me but he has a blush in his face. Suddenly there was a raging pounding on the door. I looked at Steve giving him a confused face. I got up to awnser the door.  Steve stood and walked into our kitchen. I could still see him over our half wall. I opened to the door and my eyes grew wide. My jaw dropped. I started to shake. Oh no how could this be happened. "What are you doing here?" I asked my voice shaking.
