CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“Marge, would you quit trying to speak Spanish?” Alice scolded as the taxi wound through the streets. “I think we’ve established at this point you’re terrible at it. Last night you ordered for us in Spanish, and instead of ordering steaks, you got us fish. The one thing none of us wanted.”

Marge furrowed her brow. “It’s not my fault I’m the only one who could read the words on the menu. You girls looked like you were gonna strain your necks leaning forward and backward trying to get the text to focus.” She started mimicking the way the three of us had been weaving, bringing the menu closer and farther, trying to read the words.

“I forgot my readers,” I pouted.

Sylvie sucked the air through her teeth. “Yeah. It’s about time I get some readers. Aging eyes are no joke. I feel like my grandma anytime I’m trying to read.”

Alice huffed. “Well, I don’t need readers. My eyes are perfectly fine, thank you very much.”

Marge snorted. “You were the worst of all!” She started telescoping her neck in and out, eyes bulging while she teased Alice. “Maybe we need to get you some Coke-bottle glasses.”

“The lighting was dim, and the type was unusually small,” she defended.

“Or you need readers,” Sylvie joined in on the teasing. “Don’t worry. You’ll look gorgeous in glasses.”

Alice arched an eyebrow, her jaw stiffening. “I don’t need old lady glasses. I just need menus that weren’t made for, you know, ants.”

Marge burst out laughing. “Well, when your pride realizes you’ll look much better in glasses than some kind of Yo-Yo necked menu reader, you just let us know. We’ll stop at Walmart and grab you a pair.”

Alice’s lips nearly disappeared with how hard she pressed them together. “I don’t need readers, and if I did,” she said, lifting her finger and waving it at us, “which I don’t, I would most certainly not get them at ...” She stopped, pulling a face and closing her eyes. “Walmart.”

“Well, you’re welcome for bailing you all out of your old lady eyes jam. And yeah, so I accidentally ordered fish. Make fun of my Spanish all you want, but without me, none of you blindies would have eaten. So there.”

Alice propped her elbow on the door and looked at Marge. “Your Spanish sucks, Marge. Pretty soon, you’re gonna try to speak Spanish and end up saying the wrong thing, piss someone off, and get us kidnapped and ransomed. You don’t speak Spanish. And who knows what you just said to the driver. Stop.”

“I was just trying to have a conversation with him.” She crossed her arms and sat back against the taxi seat. “I think I did a good job. At least I’m trying to be respectful and use the local language instead of assuming everyone speaks English. We’re not in America, you know.”

“I actually do speak English,” the driver said clearly, though his accent was strong.

“You do?” Alice sat up. “Can you tell me what she just said to you?”

He chuckled.
