Chapter Six

Alexis

Travis and I sat on a little bench, all worn from years of use, as it was the only place that was open. An older couple had gotten up to go to their table, Travis beating out another couple who were moving in on the bench. It was a little awkward for me to sit down next to him, the other couple giving us annoyed looks, so I didn’t give them any real eye contact.

“Pretty cool place, huh?” Travis asked, as waiters and waitresses flew past us.

“Yup,” I replied, nodding as I watched them.

It wasn’t that great, truthfully, but I didn’t want to insult his choice of venue. He obviously liked this place, and if he did, I should give it a chance. After all, the fish taco shack was dumpy, but they had some of the best food I had ever eaten. I needed to give this place the same chance I gave that one. It was only fair.

We waited for around ten or twelve minutes before the hostess called us over, the entire waiting area giving us glares, the same way I did when someone who just walked in the door got in or got their food before me. People don’t like other people who cut in line, and that was obvious by the looks on the other customers’ faces.

We were taken to our seats, a small two-person table in the middle of the action, surrounded by groups of six, as well as other lone couples who were cramped into the sardine can that was this dining hall.

The ambiance was loud, making it hard to hear anything, which sort of killed the mood for me just a little bit. We had such a great conversation on our first date, and now we couldn’t even hear one another talk. Maybe this wasn’t the best place to have a second date, even if the food turned out to be great.

Our waiter, Neil, came a few minutes later with the menus, which the hostess hadn’t given us, which I thought was odd and different than every other place I’d ever been to, especially back home. He took our drink orders, and Travis got a soda while I got lemon water. I didn’t know why, but I had a thirst that couldn’t be quenched by soda. Maybe it was a sign.

“So, what’s good?” I asked.

“What?” he asked, looking up at me.

“I asked what’s good,” I said, louder.

“Oh. Well, I like the Irish chicken and garlic mashed potatoes. It has a cream sauce and it’s really good,” he said.

“Hm, anything lighter?” I asked.

“What?” he replied.

“Never mind,” I said, nodding and looking down at the menu.

I scanned over the menu. It had at least eighty items, causing my head to spin as I tried to narrow down the things I was interested in actually having. Why restaurants had massive menus I’d never know.

Neil brought our drinks before whizzing away, not even asking us if we were ready to order, which Travis definitely was. I was willing to bet money that he was going to get that chicken dish.
