Symphony

49

We arrived at the restaurant, it was a french restaurant called 'Bon Vivant' ,very fancy.

As we walked through the doors i felt out of place scanning the luxurious space, crystal lights hung from the ceiling and were those velvet chairs?

I shook of the unwelcome feeling and clung tightly to asher who in return looked down at me and smiled, we soon reached the front desk

"Do you have a reservation sir?" The young man asked, he didn't look like he belonged working here his hair was a almost platinum blonde with dark brown, almost black roots and light ashy pink on the ends.

He was edgy to say the least but looked good in the black suit he wore

"Um yes reservation for angel" asher replied a questioning look on his face when he looked at me, i knew he thought the same about the boy.

The boy typed fast onto the computer at the desk, smiling and tapping his colleagues shoulder

"Show these two their seats" he handed his colleague some paper and we were told to follow a brown haired girl who held menus in her hands

She showed us to our seats and we thanked her, both sitting down and scanning the menus.

Snails or Escargot as the french say but the place had snails!

Not really understanding much of the dishes i settled on the 'boeuf Bourguignon' which had a small description explaining that it was beef stew braised in red wine with carrots, onion and garlic it sounded the most appetizing.

Not long after I decided a waiter came over and took our orders asher getting the 'blanquette de veau' i was pretty sure it was an accidental order as he couldn't pronounce the thing he actually wanted and pointed randomly at the menu.

"Your food should be here soon" we were informed as i politely smiled at the man

"You look really beautiful" i snap my attention to asher whos eyes are on me, i feel my cheeks burn

"Thank you" I murmured since when did asher of all people make me shy?! Get yourself together girl

"Excuse me i need to use the restroom" I explained sliding out of the seat and heading into the direction of the toilets.

I did my business then headed back almost reaching the table only to crash right into one of the waitress, a scolding hot soup like dish pouring over me.

Turned out it was our meals, ashers
blanquette de veau i shrieked and asher was at my side in a second wiping a cloth over the white, now a brown like color, dress

The waitress gasped reaching to help me

"Im fine" i hissed through gritted teeth and not only did she back away so did asher

I gave him a soft smile and he gently wiped the food off me

"Charli what in the world?!" A man who looked in his mid 40s gaped at the scene before him "clean this mess up"

He then turned to asher and i "im so very sorry for this inconvenience we can give you a free meal"

My eyes turned to slits as i glared at the guy

"Your stupid waitress could've seriously hurt her. Infact these could be first degree burns second even, a free meal won't cut it" asher beat me to it snapping at the man and turning towards him

" do you really want this going to online" i added

The man looked frightened now upon my threat

"Of course not name your price what can we do for you?"

I turned to asher shrugging my shoulders, I don't think either of us expected to get this far

"we get a full refund and atleast $50 dollars extra and-and.......snails?" Asher was so confident his last words coming out hesitantly

Snails the boy just asked for snails.
