Those of you who missed Thursday's ep, it should be up soon on Nick. It's "House of Greed" (:
The next morning, Patricia made sure to get to Williamson's diner as fast and as early as she could. She need some time alone to think. What could happen tonight? Would there really be no alcohol this time? Will Ben be there? Should she tell Eddie what happened last time? Does Eddie really like her or is he just messing around? Does she like him?
Those were the questions she had floating around in her head. She sighed, not really knowing the answer to any of them. Patricia just continued taking her anger out on the chocolate chip cookie dough she was mixing.
At the same time, Eddie was getting ready to go to work. He was also absorbed in some questions of his own. What happened to Patricia? What is she hiding? Does she like him?
"Edison!" He heard his dad call.
"It's Eddie!" he called back.
"Sorry! You need to get moving if you want to make it to work on time!" Mr. Sweet yelled back. Eddie sighed, realizing that at the rate he was going, he would have to run to work.
As he was running, he saw Piper walking out of the Williamson's house.
"Hey, Piper!" He called out to her. "Piper, wait up!"
She stopped and looked at him. Seeing that he was running, she waited for him to catch up. "Hi!" she said cheeringly when he approached.
"You're going to the party tonight, right?" he asked.
"Of course!" Piper said. "And so is Patricia." She added.
"Yacker is?" Eddie asked, looking hopeful. He realized he sounded too interested. "I mean… Why do I care if she is?"
"I know you care, Eddie." Piper looked at him.
"I don't!" He insisted.
Piper looked at him. "I know you like her."
"Who told you? Did Drew talk? He promised me—"
"No, Drew didn't tell me. You did."
"What game are you playing? I don't remember—"Eddie thought for a moment. "I just did, didn't I?"
"Yep. Ask her to dance tonight."
"Why should I?" Eddie played with his usual leather jacket. He was thinking about asking her to dance or something tonight, but he wasn't so sure.
"She's never danced with anyone before. She doesn't like dancing." Piper explained.
"So you want me to ask her to dance so I can get turned down?" Eddie rolled his eyes.
"No. She doesn't like dancing, but she does like you." Pipe told him.
"Oh." Eddie said. He felt a blush come over him.
"So, are you going to ask her?" Piper asked.
"Maybe. I'll think about it." Eddie said, walking into the diner. Mr. Williamson was in the kitchen.
"Right on time, Edison." Mr. Williamson said, handing Eddie his uniform.
"Eddie." Eddie corrected.
"I'm going to call you whatever I want. Take your uniform and get to work." Mr. Williamson growled. It was obvious he was not in a good mood this morning.
"Sorry, sir." Eddie quietly apologized. He opened the door to the eating area to check for waiting costumers. When he opened the door, Ava was on the other side.
"Oh! Eddie!" she flirt-giggled. "I didn't know we had the same shift!"
"We all do." Eddie chuckled, leaning against the door way.
"Oh, yeah. Right." She began twirling her light blonde hair. "So, are you going to Drew's party tonight?"
"Of course! Will I be seeing you there?" Eddie was completely mesmerized by her beauty, even though he knew it was wrong.
"As long as you're there! " she giggled. Eddie saw Patricia looking at him from the corner of his eye. Instead of looking at her, he looked at Piper, who gave him a look.
"Listen, I better get going. I'll see you later, ok?" Eddie went to Drew and Jack, who were waiting to be seated.
Patricia felt her face turn red with anger toward Ava. And even a little toward Eddie. A new question jumped into Patricia's mind. Was he just using her?
She tried to shake it off the rest of the day, but couldn't. She figured that the best thing she could do was avoid him, just in case. Eddie caught on soon, and stopped her, just before their shift ended.
"What gives?" He asked her. "Yacker, you're not yakking."
"So?" Patricia crossed her arms.
"Did I do something wrong?" he grabbed her arms.
"No." Patricia sighed. She didn't know how to explain that she was jealous because he was flirting with another girl. She shook off Eddie's hands, and then went back to bringing extra mustard to table six.
Eddie sighed in frustration. "I hope it goes well tonight," he mumbled to himself.
