A well-mannered meal
Finally they were in their seats. Happened that when they entered to the restaurant the manager from the restaurant told them that there was little problem with their reservation.
-I'm sorry Sr. but I'm afraid that we gave you a wrong hour- had said the manager.
-What do you mean? –asked Koa.
-Yes, you actually had to be here one hour earlier than what this ticket say, right now the tables are full, but if you wait about twenty minutes…
-Twenty minutes! –exclaimed Mana, who was already eager to taste some food.
-Well, or maybe only fifteen minutes, you will have a free table for all of you- finished the manager politely.
So that's why FINALLY they were in their table. At least it had sight to the sea; and since Mana couldn't wait so much more without eating, Jojo went to a nearby hot dog cart and bough him one.
-I think he would need more than just one hot dog- whispered Jonah to Vienna who simply smiled.
And now everyone was in silence, but not for much.
Sandy started to giggle.
-Oh I'm sorry guys, can somebody talk? I just can't help feeling nervous at this type of silences, when everyone is expecting that somebody talk- she explained.
- Have you spoken on the road? –asked Siris who had just taken the menu.
-Not really…- said Koa looking at his plate.
-Well, if you haven't there, you may talk here- said Aaron giving Koa a significant look that said "especially you".
-Uhm, oh look, a waiter! –said Koa and then called him and they asked for their food.
As they kept asking, Sandy told Mana, who was sitting next to her and Jojo: -You two guys are shy and very quiet at the beginning, right?
-Yes, I suppose, but you're not; why don't you say something?
-Like what? I'm pretty nervous that they say I'm crazy as the other ones, and also that I let down Koa- said Sandy.
-Hehe, believe me, none will say that and well, who's to blame? The others also call us "crazy" just for the fact of living together- supported Mana.
But why was Koa acting that way? He had been pretty fine at the pack's hose when they first met her and when he asked her out. What was going on? Not even he knew it really. In the car all the words that he had for her had formed a ball and obstructed his throat. He would have told her that what she said about the ponds was something very imaginative or something else when they got to the promenade, but no; nothing came out.
But the salvation came when Hoku and Vienna started to say that they had found a way to earn some money.
-Really? And what is it?
-Well, I'm going to be piano teacher at home- said Vienna.
-And I'm going to teach painting at the old people's home- said Hoku.
-That's grate dear- said Cyrus passing an arm over Hoku's shoulders and attaching her to him for some seconds.
That way they were able to start a conversation and little by little Koa and Sandy were also able to talk.
By the end of the meal they asked for the dessert not knowing what that would lead them to.
-Ok, so it will be four chocolate cakes, two whoberry pies, three banana splits and three bowls of fruit salad, right? –asked the waiter.
-Yes- they all said.
Soon the dessert was brought and the couples got just as sweet as their very own desserts:
Jojo took a papaya piece from his salad fruit bowl and put the fork into Mana's mouth for him to eat it; Cyrus decided to share his whoberry pie with Hoku and she shared her chocolate cake; Jonah and Vienna shaped their cakes as a half of a heart and then put it together as they kept eating them; Siris let Lehua sit on his lap so she would give him whoberry pie and he would give her chocolate cake and Aaron and Pam were eating their dessert just looking at each other and from time to time some small purrs would be heard.
Everybody was in their little romantic world, except for Koa and Sandy, who looked at the couples half happy, half embarrassed, as if they were picking on their special moments.
Just then Koa looked at Sandy, she had just started her chocolate cake and a small sigh came out from her mouth. Yep, it was easy to read her.
"Come on lion, it's your opportunity" said a voice in Koa's mind.
He, trying not to make so much noise or movements, put his chair closer to Sandy's and slowly looked for her hand under the table.
Suddenly she gave a small gasp and turned to see him and Koa took his hand away and decided that he had to say something.
-Uh I just…- "Grate" reproached the voice.
-It's ok- said Sandy as she slowly took his hand and squeezed it tenderly.
Koa looked at their hands together and then smiled.
-I'm sorry this isn't going as you planned- he said.
-No, don't worry. This is grate, I mean, holding your hand. Our souls are also holding hands right now- she told him with a smile.
-I haven't seen it that way before- he told her.
-Well, now you see. Hey, don't you feel like this is a bit weird, just you and me talking when everyone is, well…-both looked around the table - honeyed? -, she finished.
-Uhm, yes, a bit- answered Koa just to be followed by a brief silence as they kept looking at the couples, until…
-Let's mess a bit then- said Sandy as she took from her fruit salad a grape, put it in the spoon and then threw it to Siris and Lehua and it ended up in Siris plate.
They looked up to Koa and Sandy who where giggling and smirked.
-You wanna play? Then play- said Siris as he took the grape from the plate and threw it to them, but it ended up this time in Hoku's hair who was about to share a small kiss with Cyrus.
-Hey, what's this for? –asked Hoku as she looked around just to find that Siris and Lehua were now trying to hide themselves with the table cloth giggling too and Koa and Sandy laughing at this point.
-Aha! –said Hoku and she pretended to throw it back to Koa and Sandy but this time it went directly to Vienna's and Jonah's heart cake.
-Oh, Cupid has shot his fruity arrow to my heart! –said Vienna in a false dramatic way.
-Let me ease you beautiful lady- said Jonah as he took the grape and tried to send it back to them but this time Aaron and Pam were the victims of the grape.
-Ouch! –exclaimed Aaron when the grape hit him cheek and made him stop looking at Pam.
-Ok, so this is why everyone is laughing- said Pam taking it and kissed Aaron's cheek; -take dear-, she said giving him the grape.
-Oh sweet revenge! –he said before throwing it back to Jonah, but this time it ended up in Mana's plate.
-Oh, a grape! Thanks! –He said and in less than a second he had already eaten the grape; -Yummy!
-Oh Mana, you have just eaten the projectile! –said Jojo as all of them laughed.
-Ok, so who's next? Oh here, my brother Koa and his date- said Mana as he took cream and tossed some of it to Koa and Sandy and this leaded them to a small dessert fight were everyone ended up with cream, whoberry marmalade, chocolate and some fruit everywhere.
They left from the restaurant with all the people's eyes watching them as usual and the manager somewhat astounded at how the table has ended up.
