CHAPTER 11 - "In the restaurant - Part 2"
"No... no... I'm sure he's faking. He's faking. That's what is happening right now. I'll keep my plan on the way".
"Your food, sir" the waiter said, placing the plates of food on the table. And then, he went to the bar to place the Purple Flurp sodas. "Bon apetite!".
"Thanks. Here's a five" Carl thanked, as he put five bucks on the waiter's pocket.
"Thank you, sir". And with that, the waiter returned to the bar.
Cindy was astonished at the kind demostration of Carl's actions. So much, that she thought about her plan, to continue it or not. But, since this was a trick from Jimmy, she decided still to give it a try. She lifted up the soda in front of her date.
"I dedicate this to... what should the ocassion be?" Cindy asked to Carl.
"I-I don't know, maybe because this is our date?" Carl responded.
"I think is fair enough. To our date" Cindy lifted the soda a bit more and ran it with Carl's.
She was about to drink her soda, when the foam slipped on her dress. "Oh, my...!" she said, a little overreacting, looking at Carl with a nervous grin and then looking at her dress. "Look at my clothes! My new dress! Oh... excuse me for a second. I'm gotta go to the bathroom to clean up this... errr... mess!".
"Sure! Go now" Carl said.
"I'll be back soon!" Cindy said.
She giggled nervously and went straight to the bathroom. She opened the door, stepped inside the bathroom, and then closed the door slightly, and looked at both sides to make sure that no one was there neither watching her moves. She thought about her 'date'. She found out that Carl was really a good guy, despite the fact that she hated him because of his former actions when she found out that it was a trick from his brother. But it looked like that she was totally wrong. There was no signal of Jimmy there. It looked like the date was a real thing.
"What am I doing?" Cindy thought. "What should I do now? I thought this was going to be easy, but this date is not so bad after all".
She slowly opened the bathroom door to see that Carl was still waiting for her. She froze when she saw that the waiter was walking to his table to give him the bill. "Oh, dear! He's busted! I gotta help him!" she said. She ran to the table in desperation. "It's ok, I got everything under control!" Cindy said, as she tried to pull out her 'Visa' card.
"No, really, it runs on me" Carl said. "How much is it?".
"Two hundred and twenty seven dollars with fifty cents, please" the waiter said.
Carl pulled out a wallet full of money. "Here you go" Carl said, as he put the money on the waiter's hand.
"Have a good night, sir" he said, and he walked off.
Cindy's astonishment was grewing. "W-where did you get all that money?" she asked.
"I stole it from my dad!" Carl said, laughing.
"Oh... I see..." Cindy said, as she slowly took her seat.
"Nah, just kidding. I earned all this money because I got a work related to raising llamas" Carl said, laughing and snorting at the same time.
"That's... great!" she said.
"So, are you going to finish your dinner?" he asked.
"Yeah... yeah... hehe" Cindy said.
She looked at her dinner. Itseemed to bedelicious. She then looked at Carl and smiled. And she started eating. After a great dinner, with a big deserve included, both headed to their respective homes.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Carl suggested.
"Sure, why not?" Cindy replied, with a nervous smile.
They both walked silently to Cindy's home. Finally, when they reached it, Cindy walked the stairs and looked at Carl. "I had a great night. Thanks for all" Cindy said.
"It's ok. See you around! Bye!" Carl said.
"Wait!" Cindy said. Carl stopped in his tracks. "Can we go out again someday?" she asked.
"Sure. You got my number, just call me and I'll be there" he replied.
"Yeah... right... Well, good bye!" Cindy said.
She waved a good bye to Carl as she opened her house door, that was the Neutron's house door. She stepped inside, closed it, and sighed dreamily. But then, she realized.
"I'll have another date with the fat walking guy?" she asked to herself. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she screamed.
