There's nothing more awkward then being the first two to arrive at a gathering and accidentally bringing up a memory of the past.
Jack sat at the Pizza Palace table, tapping his foot impatiently against the ground. The rest of the gang weren't here yet – and it was time for their weekly Warrior Dinner. He was just hoping that the first person to arrive wasn't –
"Jack?"
Speak of the devil.
Jack forced a smile upon his lips, cheerfully greeting the blonde as she slid into the seat opposite him. "Hey Kim."
"Are the rest of the guys here yet?"
"No sign of them."
"Ugh, typical them. Should I give them a call? They're already a little late."
"Sure, why not?"
Five missed calls later
"They're not picking up! Wait, let me try one more time – oh crap, out of battery… Ugh, you better try…"
"Kim, it's okay, honestly. They're probably just goofing off somewhere." Jack attempted to maintain a calm exterior, but inside his stomach was doing somersaults. His mind couldn't help but constantly wander to the fact that he was alone.
With his ex.
In a restaurant.
Where they had their first date.
"Jack, I know what you're thinking of, and honestly, it's okay. Don't you remember? Just friends?" Kim hastily reminded him with an uncomfortable grin.
"Right, right, I totally remembered that."
The pair sat in an awkward silence, which was so uncomfortable that someone all the way in China could feel the tension between the two.
A waiter arrived at their table.
Amen to you, thought Jack.
"Hello, it's time for our last order of the day, so you've got to order now or you'll be foodless," the waiter said apologetically.
"Oh, no, it's okay – we'll order," Kim said, flashing the waiter a charming smile that made Jack's stomach flop a little.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the waiter also experienced a similar feeling.
"Um, we'll have a large Hawaiian, a large Pepperoni, and a medium Meat-Lover's special with extra chicken. Oh – as for drinks, we'll all have Coke, but Jack here hates Coke, so he'll have a Pepsi instead," Kim said, rattling off the order. Jack's eyes dilated, and as the waiter scribbled down the order items, he couldn't help but keep his eyes trained in wanderment at the blonde seated in front of him.
As the waiter left their table with a curt 'thank you', Jack spoke up, "You remember."
Kim looked puzzled. "Remember what?"
"That I'm pro-Pepsi and anti-Coke, despite them being really similar," Jack said with a blush.
Kim's face matched Jack's and she attempted shrugging casually, failing slightly, but got away with little notice. "Well, I, uh, it kinda just stuck."
"Because the only time I ever told you that was when we were here, in this very place, on our very first –" Jack cut himself off, ducking his head down in embarrassment. "Right. I'm sorry – I shouldn't have brought it up –"
Kim fervently shook her head. "No, Jack, it's okay, honestly -"
But the blonde was rudely interrupted by a resonating "WHOA!", announcing the entrance of the three biggest idiots on earth.
Jack slumped against his seat in relief, glad to have finally exited the awkward moment, and greeted Jerry, Eddie and Milton with a grateful smile.
TADA! I included Eddie :) I think it's unfair he had to leave, so he's still gonna be in all my Fanfics.
Well, hope you enjoyed the update :) Remember to review and give suggestions! I've already gotten one and I think it's pretty good, so I might use it for a future chapter.
