"But... Alvin has a girlfriend!"
Eleanor's eyes tripled in size. "WHAT?" she yelled.
"Shhh!" I said, putting a finger to her lips. "They'll hear you and recognize your voice. Here, let's move to another booth where we can talk about this..."
I grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to another booth.
As we sat down in a booth across the room from Alvin and Brit, where we could monitor them but their backs were to us and we were surely out of earshot, Eleanor hissed through gritted teeth, "I swear, Teddy, if Alvin hurts her, I will break his neck..."
That's my girl. I patted her knee. "Okay, look, it's kind of complicated. His girlfriend is in Cancun this summer. Her family goes there every summer and-"
"That's no excuse!" she snapped, cutting me off. "If I go to Cancun all summer, you don't get to go run around with some other girl, so don't get any ide-"
"I KNOW. And I won't, okay?" I interrupted. "Let me finish. So, she's in Cancun, right? And you know Alvin. He doesn't like to be alone-"
"Neither do I , but every time I'm alone for an amount of time I don't-"
"I know! I know, Ellie. Stop interrupting me, okay?" I paused, to check if she was done, and she just pursed her lips, so I continued. "Okay. So Alvin doesn't like to be alone, and he keeps coming back to this one girl. They've been off and on for like a year now, and they constantly get in these little fights. But before she left, I think they got into a big fight-"
"So they're-"
"ELEANOR."
"Sorry. Continue."
"I don't know if they made up or not."
-Eleanor-
I paused, to see if he was done, and when he just looked at me expectantly, i said, "So, you're saying Alvin may or may not be cheating on this other girl with Brittney?" He nodded. "Okay. So what do we do?"
He sighed, and shrugged, looking out the window. "We wait."
