drive thru

"hello welcome to mcdonald's, what would you like to order?"

before i gave him an answer, i quickly scanned through the menu, eyeing the meal that i had in mind to eat, "um, one spicy chicken mcdeluxe, please?"

"okay, anything else?"

"that's all i want, thanks."

it went silent. seconds later, it wasn't. "not even a regular coke?"

"uh," i raised an eyebrow, silently questioning his manners, "no thanks."

"hmm," the line was awkwardly silent again, "y'know what? it's on the house."

my eyes widened, "wait what-"

"i just think a beautiful girl like you should be treated well today."
