Chapter 20

Winry walked back into the cafe and found the table where she and Ed had been sitting empty.

Huh? Where'd he go? Winry looked around the cafe, but didn't see Ed.

"May I help you, Miss Winry?" The waitress who was assigned to their table asked from behind Winry.

Winry spun around. "Thank you. I'm just looking for my friend who was with me in here."

"The blonde gentleman? I'm not sure where he is, but I didn't see him leave the cafe, if that helps." The waitress offered.

"Thank you. I guess he'll be right back." Winry smiled at the young lady before returning to her seat. She was only there for a few seconds when Ed slid into the seat across from her.

"Where were you?" Winry asked him.

"I was just using the restroom so don't get all fired up."

"Oh." Winry felt a small blush on her cheeks. "Sorry."

" Yeah, yeah." Ed looked at Winry, obviously expecting something. "So?" He asked after another minute or so.

Winry looked Ed in the eye. "So, what?"

"What happened with you and Jac?"

Oh. That so. "Nothing much."

"Oh, come on. When you stormed out of here you looked ready to explode, and now you're as calm as can be."

Winry gulped. "Well... you know... we talked."

"That was a quick talk."

"We didn't have much to say, I guess." Winry glared at Ed. That part was true. She had only wanted to tell Jac to, basically, back away from Ed.

"Uh huh." Ed didn't buy it.

"Well, think whatever else you want, but that's the truth."

"Riiight."

"Al seriously does that too?"

"The 'riiight'?"

"Yeah, that." Winry rolled her eyes.

"Yup. He did it a lot on me recently." Ed sighed, being annoyed by even the memory of it.

"Wow. I never thought he could be that annoying."

"Welcome to my world." Ed muttered.

"Would you like anything else?" A new voice joined in on their conversation. Winry and Ed looked up and saw the waitress.

"Oh no, thank you." Winry said politely.

"Ok, then." The waitress picked up their empty dishes from the table. "I'll go get your bill." And with that she walked away.

Ed reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet.

"Ed, no, I'll pay for it." Winry offered.

"Too bad, then. I'm going to pay for it."

"No! I would feel guilty about letting you pay!"

"Ok then, you can feel as much guilt as you want because I'm going to pay." Ed replied calmly.

"Ed-" Winry stopped herself from yelling at him, but only because the waitress had returned.

"Here you go." The waitress held out the bill and Ed took it before Winry could. He looked at it, then took some money out of his wallet and handed it to the young waitress.

"Thank you." Ed smiled at her.

"You're welcome! Have a nice day!" The waitress smiled at Ed back, then smiled at Winry, and then left.

Winry crossed her arms in annoyance.

Ed smirked at Winry. "I win."

Sorry it's taking me longer to update... sorry! SO SORRY!
