When Life Gives You Monica

Chapter Four

.Chapter four

Shocked as i was. Is this the same Tyler with Ginger hair? Who now apparently has black hair? Not that I'm complaining because boooy does he look more handsome and sexier with the new hair colour. On the 2sec journey of picking up my phone, hoping that someone will have the courage to break the silence Tyler finally breaks the ice. I could see his lips move but before i could make sense with what Tyler was saying to me, i just felt him hugging me. It felt great because he was taller & i was short. But then again, he smelt so good and by the time i knew it, Tyler had already scored more points than i thought he would within a few minutes? Hectic. I broke out of my silence too and the first thing i said was "Wow, you're real?". He smirked and just gave me a kiss on the forehead and there starts the greatest chapter of our love life. We had two options, to either go to the theme park or La'Delicious restaurant that was a street away. Deep down in my heart, i wanted us to go to McDonald's because of the insufficient funds that i had.  There we were, heading towards the McDonald's holding hands like this is the 100th time we've met up. We got inside and to our surprise, McDonald's wasn't as packed as it usually is. Now to the hardest part where most people hate, the pull/push door! I gather up the courage and touch the door as if i know what I'm doing, and to my rescue, Tyler slowly pushed my hand away and opened the door for me. "After you my darling". Oh, the Heavens were on my side today. We sit by the table which my bestfriend calls, "The Lovers Den" because most lovers would always choose those seats and it was only made for two love birds. Now Tyler popped the million dollar question. "What are we eating?" Most girls would've gone blank because they either too shy to pick something expensive but then again, they also wouldn't want to pick something cheap that will leave them feeling hungry after the next 30 minutes. "McFeast, let's eat Mcfeast."  I said. "I knew you'd want us to order McFeast you've been telling me about it" says Tyler. Now what do i do? Is he paying? Am i paying? Or are we both splitting the bill? Like every other gentleman, Tyler heads to the till and orders two extra large McFeast's. Within 10 minutes, Tyler heads back with the food. Now comes out third biggest struggle of the day, how neat and girly i should eat infront of Tyler since he wasted no time in waiting to eat, i then join him & i started digging into my favourite meal that looked appetizing as ever. But obviously the main aim was to still eat like a *normal girl*.  20 minutes passed by, with small talk between Tyler and I. I understood the reason behind the small talk because we were both eating, so it was small talk and the sound of food being munched like there's no tomorrow. As much as i was enjoying the food, i was starting to get annoyed with the small talk convos. By the time i knew it, Tyler had already finished with his meal.
Tyler and i have been blabbing, it got so loud that you could compare us to crickets and that's how much fun we had. All this talk was making me hungry, by the time i was about to eat my fries, there goes Tyler with a fry dipped in tomato sauce. Out of all things to do, i forgot to tell Tyler how i hate fries dipped in sauce, but then again, i didn't want to ruin the romantic moment that we were about to have all because of one silly fry. I choose to not ruin the moment, but bear in mind that this is the first and last time I'll ever do this. Tyler starts swinging a fry as if it's an aeroplane which was funny because one, my mom used to feed me the exact same way & two, he looked stupid with everyone staring at him & he did not give a flying fuck. By the time he's about to put the fry in my mouth, i could smell the tomato sauce alongside a strong smell of vinegar... i felt like puking, i couldn't take the smell and the thought of seeing that fry dipped in tomato sauce, i ruined the romance, i pushed his hand which lead to the crash of the poor airplane  (dipped fry) and immediately looked away. My cheecks became blush pink from the embarrassment that was covering up the self-hatred i had in me, but the look on Tyler's face made me hate myself even more. As puzzled as he was i couldn't say any other thing besides "I'm sorry" because my reaction was way out of line.
Tyler: "What was that about? Did i overstep some boundaries? I know how much you value your personal space, I'm sorry".
I take a deep sight to get back to my senses so that I can come up with an explanation.
Monica: "No, you didn't overstep any boundaries, I overreacted because i hate fried that are dipped in sauce, it literally makes my head wanna explode"
i said in the sweetest voice that could even make the judge let you walk free. Tyler gave me the most unexpected response, laughter. All he did was laugh.
Tyler: "Who in this world doesn't like fries dipped in sauce?".
He reacted differently than i thought he would so i decided to go with the flow.
Monica: "Well, Monica doesn't! Which is perfectly normal".
Tyler then licks his lips, and starts staring at me, i freeze for a second not knowing what to say. "
Monica: "You know Tyler, as handsome as you might look right now, i hate it when people stare at me".
Tyler: "That's one of the reasons why I fell in love with you, now come sit next to me"
Monica: "Wow! Well, aren't you so rude TYLER..."
Tyler: "okay, pretty please my love?"
I stood up with my McFizz drink, while walking that 5second marathon, all i could think about were the words Tyler said to me. "My love? I fell in love?" He's in love with me? Like i said, 5second marathon because Tyler had already burst my bubble. I reach the finishing line which was sitting next to Tyler, and just like that, Tyler pulls me close to him, arm above my shoulder & the self hatred i had been feeling a few minutes ago had quickly vanished. And now all i could feel were a dozen kisses from Tyler, all at one time. And how did i feel? Like a princess lost in a cave that has been finally found by her king. And according to my calculations, I was in love... Could this day get any better?  Obviously we had people's attention because it was dawn and McDonalds was almost 50% packed. The manager comes by our table and says "Hello, what you guys are doing right now is totally against our rules as this is a family restaurant and people seem to not feel comfortable".
Tyler: "So what? Is that our problem? I mean, we paid for our meal just like any other customer, right babe?"
Manager: "Sir, all i am saying is that majority of our customers don't feel comfortable and that's bad for business so please leave"
Tyler: "I will leave whenever i feel like it, so get the fuck out of my sight mam"
Manager: "Sir I-"
I stood up, grabbed Tyler by the hand and we left the restaurant. I could see how furious Tyler was, and decided to do what he's been doing best, a kiss. That changed Tyler's mood and held my hand tighter than ever. At the back of us were two people that i couldn't recognise, as they came closer, i could see that it was a middle-aged man and woman. The middle-aged man asked Tyler, "Is that your girlfriend?".
Tyler: "Yes she is"
The middle aged man then says "Not only is she beautiful, but she's also a keeper, so take care of her". All Tyler did was just nod his head & the middle-aged couple then took the other direction. I feel a buzz on my phone, its close to 30 text messages from my mom with nothing but **Where r u? Come hme now!**. I show Tyler my moms text messages and all he said was, before you leave, can we please take Polaroid  pictures? I've always wanted to take one all my life so i agreed. We went back to the theme park where we had our Polaroid pictures taken. One for me & one for Tyler, which we had both put at the back of our phone covers. It's time for me to go, my visit credits to WonderLand have been used up. Tyler's eyes locked with mine as we were about to say our goodbyes before I could enter the cab. Tyler and i had been staring at each other for almost two minutes now and again, i ruined the romantic moment again. "Your new hair colour suits you boyfriend, let me give you a kiss for that". I'm a firm believer of no kisses on the first date but Tyler was just irresistible. No word came out of Tyler's mouth and before i knew it, i could feel his lips onto mine with nothing but the taste of sweet cherry. He strokes my hair and i could feel the movement of his palm. Back, forward, up... and by the time he went down my neck, he broke out of the kiss which was good and not good because if he hadn't stopped, i would've done something bad with someone's son. But then again, did he stop the kiss because I'm a bad kisser? I mean, it was my first time. There was silence between us as we walked towards my cab that had been waiting for me for the past 5minutes, we give each other one last hug and i gave him my last words "Goobye Lover" and got into the cab. My last words left Tyler smiling as my cab drove off. Is this a dream? If it is then someone please pinch me so that i don't fall deep into the world of fantasy...
