Bestfriends With My Doppelganger

Chapter 11

   So after our cab came and picked us up we decided to go into town to get breakfast.

     It was approximately a half hour drive before we got to our destination. Nerissa paid the cab fare and the driver thanked us before leaving.

    "So you guys said you wanted pancakes?" Marisol spoke, scrolling through her phone before I saw her look up and look around as if she was searching for something.

    "There. That cafe has breakfast until 11" she says and points at a cafe across the street.

   We looked both ways before we crossed the street and into the small cafe. The strong aroma of coffee floated around the air conditioned space.

     I took a deep breath, inhaling the appetizing scent. I just love the smell of coffee.

    There were two or three tables occupied at the moment, leaving the rest of the space empty and giving a calm atmosphere.

   "Goodmorning ladies, may I take you to a seat or will you be ordering takeout?" A middle aged waitress comes up to us and greets us.

   "We'll be dining in, thank you" Kelly says and the lady nods before asking us to follow her.

   She takes us to a table that had three chairs but she went and took a chair from another table and made space to accommodate all four of us.

    On the table there were flowers as the centerpiece along with small candles circling around it.

   "I'm assuming you'll be needing the breakfast menu as it is not yet time for lunch" she says and she hands us four menus that were tucked into her apron pocket.

     The menu was black and it had fancy white writing on the cover.

          London's Finest Dining
                Breakfast Menu

   The name of the cafe was London's Finest Dining. I opened the page and saw that there were different categories to choose from.

   I immediately looked to the pancake section and decided to order three buttermilk pancakes. I made a mental note.

  I scanned through the rest of the menu and by the end I decided to make my order. I was the first to do so.

   "I'd like three buttermilk pancakes please with cheesey scrambled eggs and two fried sausages" I say to the waitress. She writes down my order.

       "Would you like any toppings for your pancake?" she asks me. "Yes please, I'd like strawberry syrup" I say. She makes a note of this. "What would you like to drink?" she asks me.

    I look to the drink section instead of the hot beverage section. I love coffee but I wasn't in the mood for any right now. "I'd like a large lemonade iced tea please" she nods and says thank you before turning her attention to the rest of the girls.

    They make their orders as I check my cellphone. I notice that I have a text message from Annabelle.

   I quickly open it and see that it was an image. I loaded it and then saw that it was her science project and she had gotten a 98% grade.

   My smile opened so wide and I quickly sent her a congratulations. I checked the time and saw that it was now a little after 10 which means it was approximately 4 a.m in Chicago.

  I really need to make plans to call her and my parents at the right time. I sent her an I love you and checked the rest of my notifications before I closed my cellphone and put it away inside my purse.
