A/N: Here is an update, its a filler one, but oh well. It follows the story line so enjoy.
Saturday night was when Zeke and I were using our Breadstixs certificate and it was almost like a date, except neither of us said it was a date. Aunt Vanessa dropped me off at Breadstixs about five minutes before I was supposed to meet Zeke there and guess what he was already there waiting for me. We went inside and were seated in a few moments later. The inside of Breadstixs actually looked nice.
"Have you been here before?" Zeke asked me.
"Nope, but everyone at our school eats here,"
"Oh wow,"
"Yeah, I think because looking at the menu, the food here is pretty cheap and there are free unlimited breadsticks,"
"That would do it,"
"That and the nearest Italian restaurant is either in Akron or Westerville,"
Zeke chuckled a bit after that, and then we ordered our drinks. Zeke had gotten a coke while I got a sprite. Once we ordered our food, we talked about our childhoods for a while.
"I'm an only child who has cousins that act like brothers and sisters to me," Zeke explains.
"Wow, I grew up with three older siblings, two brothers and one sister, no cousins,"
"I remember growing up always asking my parents for a younger sibling, but my mom had complications with my birth and couldn't have any more children after me, so cousins were all that I got, and I got five of them,"
" I love my siblings to an extent, Jesse is the one that closest to me age-wise and relationship wise. Kyle is my oldest brother, he...has a few problems, but he working on them. Nicole is my sister, like Kyle she has problems, just different problems, Jesse is my only problem-free sibling but even he has his flaws,"
"I have three male cousins and two female cousins, all of them are siblings. Chase is the oldest, he's in the army, then there is Katie, she will be taking her mother's spot in the family business, my aunt and uncle run it, they have the most profit from it and my mom works in a branch of it, so it's good money and most of what my family has is going to my college fund. But back on track, after Katie, there is Hayden, he's attending UCLA for business, this is his second year there. After Hayden, there is Jayde, she's a senior in this year in the military school that all my cousins are attending or attended. The youngest one, Hunter is actually our age, I'm the closest to him, Hunter is different from his siblings, he likes to sing and dance but loves sports, he almost never gets in trouble unless I'm around and can get dragged into with him,"
"Sounds interesting, and you said Hayden goes to UCLA, so does Jesse and his roommate's name is Hayden, so I'm wondering if they are the same person,"
"They might be...who knows for sure though,"
"Well, what's your cousins' last name?"
"Clarington,"
"My brother is rooming with your cousin, and they eat a lot of Chinese food,"
"That sounds like Hayden, he always had a thing for Chinese food,"
"Jesse as a kid always sung either show tunes or Queen, he will be 19 this spring and still sings both,"
Our food arrived shortly after that, and it was only half decent. I'm pretty sure we spent more time talking than we did eating. I learned a lot about him today and I think he learned a lot about me. We decided that after we were done at Breadstixs that we were gonna go get ice cream from the ice parlor down the street.
"Breadstixs was bad, like really bad," Zeke stated.
"Yeah, never eating here again," I tell him.
"So where is this all so magical ice cream parlor?"
"On the corner of awesome street and rainbow road,"
"Haha, very funny,"
"It's down the road a bit,"
We enter the ice cream parlor and go up to the register, we were helped almost immediately. Zeke got mint chocolate chip while I got chocolate chip cookie dough. We sat in a both and rambled on and on and enjoyed each other's company. After a while we checked the time, it was getting late, and I had gymnastics in the morning so we both texted our rides. We waited outside from them, sadly Uncle Daniel was the first to arrive. I gave Zeke a hug before I climbed into my uncle's car.
