Kiss me

Chapter 3 - shopping

Half hour later I was in a café called freckles. They had the best milkshakes and chips with gravy, but it was expensive stuff.
The interior was really modern and sweet. The floor is checkered and a pink base on the wall with white on top. Paintings and pictures of flowers, the beach, vintage stuff etc. And the chairs are all different colours, it's like a beautiful rainbow exploded in this place. It was a nice cozy café and was almost full with all it's tables occupied, except for two, one at the entrance and one at the far end. We sat at the far end, five minutes after we sat down a waitress came over asking what we wanted.
"I'll have chips and gravy with a chocolate milkshake. Thanks" I said.

"And I'll also have chips and gravy with a strawberry milkshake." Steph says.

"Okay, your order will be here in 5-10 minutes" she said smiling.

When the waitress went away with our orders, Steph was telling me about how her little brother took all of her undies outside and threw them all over the front yard.

Meanwhile I'm here laughing so hard picturing people walk by and looking horrified and confused at the scene in front of them.

"Stop it" she says as she hits me on the shoulder, "it's not funny. Do you know how embarrassing it was to walk outside and pick all them up with people walking by giving me weird looks. This one man picked up a pair and starting running for dear life. He was like 60. I wasn't going to run after him, so I let it go."

"Oh god" I was laughing again. I threw a snort or two in with it and people where giving me horrified but amused looks, "stop it, please....I'm.. I'm going to die" I tried to say through my laughter.

She glared at me with those big brown eyes of hers. She's taking this way to seriously. Once my laughter died off I said to her,

"Oh C'mon, your taking this too seriously. It's funny, tell me it's funny. I'm going give bowen a high five next I see him"

"Oh no your not. And it is a little funny, but I'm pissed so..." She says, "Anyways how was the fireworks?"

"It was really pretty! The sky was lighting up with all different colours and it was just beautiful..," I was staring out the window now watching cars pass by while remembering the fireworks. It's quite extraordinary how something can be picked in such a tight space but come out as something big and beautiful. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Steph says,

"I like that about you, you know." She says.

"What?" I asked confused.

"How you get lost in your world of thoughts. I can't do that, I go crazy" she chuckled a bit.

"Oh Ahh, okay" I blushed a bit.

"What were you thinking about?" She asked slightly curious.

"Ahh, the fireworks" I chuckled, " remembering all the colours and stuff... So Ahh how was your New Years?"

"Well I had a bbq with some of mums friends and at 12 we watched the fireworks on tv, after that everybody left and we all crashed, nothing interesting, " She said "Did you see any cute boys at Sydney?"

"Ha ha. And yes I did" I stated.

"Well did you talk to any of them?" She asked.

"No I didn't"

"Why?" She asked.

"Because"

"C'mon you gotta break out of this shell of shyness, how else are you going to get a guy?"

"What was the point of talking to a guy when I was in Sydney? I was never going to see them again." I stated.

"Now I'm talking about in general. That's it, when we get back to school I'm going to help you find a guy." See looked at me in a serious way. It's scary when she's serious about this shit because that means she's going to do it.
