He ran to the kitchen and picked up the frying pan. He sighed.
"Oh my gosh, it's so burnt" I burst into laughter as I saw the terrible state of the pan.
"This is all your fault, you just had to come into the kitchen looking so pretty" He picked up the pan and put it beside the trash can.
"Whoa, you can't just throw away a frying pan like that" I said
"Says the girl who nearly burnt down my house. Remember what happened when you acted like a chef?" He said
"That was then but now, I know a thing or two about cooking and I know that you should scrape out what you can and soak the rest" I said
"Wow, I never thought I'd live to see the day Julian learns a thing or two about the cooking" he quoted my exact same words.
We settled for a fresh plate of omelette and bacon. I gotta say, it's probably the best breakfast that I've eaten since like forever.
"Julian, come on out, do you intend to spend our date in front of a mirror?" He asked
"I'm coming" I yelled
I buckled my boot and threw my clutch over my shoulder. I ran out of his room and went out to meet him.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him as he was about to open the door of his car.
"What does it look like? I'm obviously getting into the car"
"I can't come all the way to Wisconsin and get in your dang car. Did I tell you I came to sightsee from the windshield of your car?" I asked him
"There's no need for you to get cranky, we can take the bus if that's what you want?"
"The bus? Really? As if your windshield is not thick enough, you want to sightsee from a bus?"
"What do you want from me, woman? Should I rent you a jet?" He snapped at me.
"No, we'll do this the old fashioned way" I grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the car. I wrapped my hands around his arm and started walking with him.
"You aren't possibly thinking of walking throughout today, are you?" He asked
"Come on, what better way to enjoy a date than having a walk. That way I get to explore the city with you and try out some vendor foods and arcades"
"You eat those? You used to call them a poor man's food cooked with chemicals"
"That was before but one bite from the infamous chilli and cheddar biscuit was enough to sweep me off my feet" I said
"It's ironic how you went from a brat to a super nice girl" He placed my hair behind my ear.
"I was never a brat, you just didn't know me" I pulled his hand and we started walking.
"Don't you remember that I used to have a crush on you? I told you on that boat cruise" He said
"Of course I remember but I don't quite get it, I know you used to pick on me because you liked me and all that but why did you think I was bratty?"
"I mean, you just gave off those bratty vibes and you were kind of stuck-up. You had everything you needed or at least that's what I thought" He said
"Look, it's a food truck" I pointed to a white truck across the street.
"Do you wanna go? Wait, why am I even asking? Your eyeballs say it all"
"Come on, come on" I pulled him across the street.
"Hi, what can I get you pretty girl?" The food truck guy said
"I would like some Chilli fingers please" I said
"Chili fingers? What is that?" Andrew asked
"You see, it's chilli but it's cooked in the shape of fingers" I explained
"That sounds.... I don't even wanna know how it's made. I'll just have a cheese burger and Heinz Mayocue" He said
"Eww, how can you eat Mayo and BBQ sauce and I'm the gross one"
"Hi, I'm still here" The food truck guy said
I smiled embarrassingly and he went off to prepare our order.
"Oh my gosh, this is so nice" I moaned as the delicious taste dissolved in my mouth.
"You really seem to be enjoy those" His mouth cringed a bit as he said that
"Says the guy who's dipping burger in Mayocue" I said
"Wait till you have Mayochup" He said
"Don't tell me, eww, Mayo and ketchup"
"What kind of heinz spread do you like then?" He asked
"Kranch and Honey Racha"
We finished our food then continued our date. Our feet led us to a cinema so we went in to buy our tickets.
"The movie doesn't start until an hour time" I said looking at the ticket.
"Yeah, why don't we go to an arcade like you wanted?" He asked
"Hell, yes"
He took me to an arcade called Neo casino. It had a casino and a bunch of teenagers were playing mahjong while betting their money.
This isn't Las Vegas where it's ok to bet away your life.
A smile etched on my face when I came across the very first game I played as a kid. I don't know what it's called but it's one of those games that you input a coin then try to grab whatever gift you can get.
"Andrew, I want to get me something. I want that teddy bear" I pointed to a little cute blue and pink bear in the middle.
"Yeah, I'm not gonna break my fingernails trying to play that stupid rigged game" He said
"Please" I pleaded
"NO" He pushed his hands in his pocket.
An evil smile immediately drew on my face when I saw one of those dance arcade game.
Andrew might be good at doing a lot of things but the one thing he can't do is dance. The boy can't dance to save his life.
"Andrew, let's make a bet"
"I'm listening" He said while playing ice table hockey.
"I challenge you to a dance off and if I win, you have to win that teddy bear for me"
