"Anna, I think we're going to have to cancel our plans." Alex said emotionlessly as when we reached the bleach blond that was currently leaning back on her hands with her boobs shoved to the sky; real attractive.
"What?! Why?" She asked angry, standing up.
"There are some things I have to take care of." He said, not even looking at her.
"Whatever, I'm hotter than you anyways." She said storming off down the street.
"Stupid bitch, I drove her here." He said making me giggle, as we climbed into his little silver car. "You got a ride with me. Are you planning on walking all the way home?" He asked as he slowed down to keep up with the pace of the walking girl, rolling down his window.
She sniffled. "Ugh, then I have to ride with her." She said looking at me disgustedly.
"Fine, walk home." Alex said angry rolling up his window and stepping on the gas; barely missing her feet.
"Where are we eating?" I asked once his driving slowed and he didn't look as tense.
"Wherever you'd like Cass." He said calmly.
"Ihop sound ok to you?"
"Sounds perfect." He said smiling a cord that was hanging from his stereo into his Ipod.
"I get music control!" I said quickly, grabbing the ipod out of his hands before he could object. Triumphantly smiling at him as I put on All Time Low's Six Feet Under the Stars.
"At least you put on good music unlike fucking Anna." He said her name disgustedly as I laughed.
"You picked her Alex." I reminded him as we pulled into the parking lot.
"Well…ok you got me there." He said laughing with me.
About ten minutes later we were sitting down in a booth, scanning our syrup stained menus for something to eat.
"Hello there, my name's Mary I'll be your waitress today. Can I get you anything to drink? Coffee?" She asked sweetly.
"I'll have coffee." Alex replied, not looking up from his menu.
"Regular or decaf?" She responded.
"Regular please."
"What about you honey?" She asked turning to me.
"How about Mt. Dew, no ice?" I asked smiling up at her.
"I can do that; I'll be back in a moment." She said walking away, forcing me to search for something to eat.
"So Cass," Alex started, setting down his menu to look at me. "How are you?"
"I'm splendid Alex." I lied, much better this time.
"Sure you are." He replied sarcastically.
"I am." I protested.
"You just left Victoria. The girl you've kind of been with for the last three years. You are anything but fine." He argued, knowing he was right.
"It was for her own good." I mumbled to him, not knowing what else to say.
"Doesn't mean it was for you, or that you're ok Cassy." He said sternly.
I waited for a while before responding, trying to keep myself from crying over her. "You may be right." I said slowly.
"I may be right? Cassadee, have you been asleep for the last 19 years? I am always right." He teased, making me laugh.
"Oh dear Alex, you are so wrong on that it's hilarious. " I said smiling.
"Oh that hurts baby." He said as Mary returned with our drinks.
"Are you kids ready to order?" She asked grabbing her pad and the pen from behind her blond curly hair.
"Cass?" Alex asked, turning to look at me. I nodded in response. "Alright I want an order of pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon please." He said looking up at Mary with wide eyes.
"For the toast did you want white, wheat or rye?"
"White, please." Alex responded handing her the menu.
"Alright, and for you hon? " She asked after she finished writing the order down.
"I'll have an order of the Mediterranean chicken with salad for a side." I said quietly.
"For the salad what kind of dressing?"
"French, please." I said handing her my menu as well.
"That'll be up soon." She said and walked away.
"I like her, she's nice." I said to Alex.
"Yeah, I guess." He said playing with a packet of sugar.
"Alex!" I said as I watched him poor the contents onto the table.
"What?!" He yelled, making me laugh.
"You're supposed to wait for me." I grabbed another packet and added to the pile.
He looked up at me and smiled, then returned to our sugar castle.
After a few moments of building to the mound my cell phone started vibrating.
"Cass, your cell's ringing." Alex said obviously.
I looked down at the screen and froze at the name. "Hello?"
