I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Maryse's Point of View-
We walked out of the arena after Adora had clocked out, we were walking the short distance to the car to go get something to eat to drive another hour or so to the other town to stay the night.
"What restaurant are we going to?" Adora asked.
"I saw a 50's sock hop type restaurant, I saw it as we drove here." Alex said.
"I have never been to one of those restaurants, may we go?" Adora asked excitedly.
"It sounds fun." I said.
"I guess we'll go there then." Mike said as we got to the car climbing in, "Do you remember how to get there Alex?" Mike asked looking back to Alex who sat in the back seat with Adora.
"It's on the main street we came in on, it was near the freeway." Alex said.
"If you see it again, please point it out to me." Mike said as he was heading back the way we came until Alex spotted it again, Mike pulled into the restaurant and now this was when he got excited. We all climbed out of the car heading up to the restaurant that didn't seem as packed, it could probably be due to the time we are coming in. Alex pulled open the door for Adora before he stepped in behind her and held it open for Mike to grab. "See, you opened the door for her that must mean their dating." Mike said snapping his fingers.
"Mike, I just opened the door and nothing else." Alex said.
"Yeah, Mike relax…" I said as the hostess sat us at a booth, Adora and I sat in the two sides of the booths only for Mike and Alex both went to slide in next to Adora only for Mike to sit on Alex's lap and slid between the two of them. "Mike, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Mike, get off of me!" Adora said pushing him further away from her but Alex was trying to push him further away from him.
"I wanted to sit next to Addie." Mike said.
"Mike, come sit here." I said pointing to the seat beside me, Alex stood up letting Mike slide out and sit beside me, Alex sat back down beside my sister and he rested his arm on the back of the booth.
"Look, he wrapped his arm around her." Mike whispered after he put the menu up in hopes they didn't hear him.
"Pst, it doesn't mean anything, I was just stretching my arm…" Alex said doing the same thing.
"Yeah, none of this makes absolute sense…just relax." I said before I turned to look at the menu, "What looks good?" I asked changing the subject.
"I kind of want a milkshake to drink, but they seem kind of big and I just think of the ones they get in Grease…" Alex said.
"I LOVE Grease…" Adora said excitedly.
"Me too…" Alex said smiling.
"I'll share one with you, it's a whole lot better than a fountain drink." Adora said smirking.
"Totally…." Alex said.
"That sounds good, you want to share a milk shake with me sweetie?" I asked turning to Mike.
"I was going to share with them." Mike said pointing to Alex and Adora.
"No your not…" Adora said.
"Why not?" Mike asked.
"Your sharing with me…" I said smacking Mike lightly.
"Chocolate okay?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, I'm not a big vanilla shake girl." Adora said.
"It has no flavor." I said adding to it.
"Exactly, if doing a milkshake, there has to have some more flavor to it." Alex added.
"I feel the same way…." Adora said as she closed her menu and begun looking at the photos and different memorabilia that was hung on the wall from the 50's. "This restaurant is pretty neat…hey, they have a juke box…maybe we will go turn a song on later." Adora said smiling as Alex turned to look at such juke box that Adora was talking about.
"They even have a dance floor." Alex added.
"I don't even think I would know how to dance to those songs….Maryse, would you know? Miss win dance competitions for work?" Adora asked laughing a tad as she turned around to look at me.
"Hey, like I would know how to dance to those songs either." I said smiling.
"I do…" Mike said.
"I'm sure you do, you were probably alive about that time." Alex said jokingly as we all laughed including Mike when we gave our orders to the waitress.
"I'm not that old…" Mike said after the waitress had left.
"It was a joke Mike." I said.
"50's was the poodle skirts, wasn't it?" Adora asked looking to Alex.
"Yeah and the sock hops." I said.
"I don't think I can pull off a poodle skirt." Adora said.
"You can't, but I could…" Alex said.
"You better not be pulling off her poodle skirt." Mike said.
"What?" Alex asked confused.
"You said you could pull off a poodle skirt." Mike said as I covered my face not believing Mike has went this far.
"Mike, not literally pulling a skirt off of someone but pulling off as in he will look good in a poodle skirt." Adora explained for me.
"Yeah, we all know where Mike's mind is." Alex said as our shakes were set onto the table, Mike and I got the strawberry shake and Adora and Alex got the chocolate.
"Why do you think you can pull off a poodle skirt?" Adora asked as she was unwrapping her straw.
"Have you not seen my legs? They are pretty nice…" Alex said smiling confidently.
"You may have nice legs but that doesn't mean you'll look good in a poodle skirt." Adora said as they stuck their straws into the shake to take a drink then I notice Mike leaning over the table joining them in drinking their shake, I grabbed Mike by the shirt pulling him back.
"Mike, what are you doing?" I asked in a pissed off tone.
"Sharing their shake?" Mike said in a question tone.
"Your sharing with me, remember?" I asked.
"But-" Mike said.
"No…" I said as Mike gave in and grabbed himself another straw from the container of straws that they had on the table.
"That straw container is pretty awesome, you just pull the top off and all the straws get lifted for you to choose which one you want." Alex said as he was playing with it.
"Why don't more restaurants have these?" Adora asked.
"Probably because it doesn't fit their restaurant style." I said.
"How does having that affect their style?" Mike asked.
"I don't know, maybe it was only used in the 50's and everyone will think it's out of date." I said shrugging.
"Out of date or not, they are awesome…" Alex said.
"Your so easily amused." Mike said rolling his eyes.
"Yes…yes I am." Alex said smiling.
"I wonder what songs they have….I can't even tell you what came out in my birth year." Adora said.
"You want to go look?" Alex asked as he leant forward onto the arms he had resting against the table.
"Yes please." Adora said smiling as Alex stood up and stepped aside to let my sister slide out of the booth, Alex followed my sister to the jukebox to look at the different songs they had in it.
"I'm surprised you didn't go with them." I said twirling my straw in the shake Mike and I share.
"I was going to but I can watch them from here…." Mike said.
"Mike, calm down and just enjoy the night….we are all trying to have fun but can't if your over here trying to interfere in something that may or may not be…" I said as I took a sip of our strawberry shake.
"I'm having fun, I don't know why you guys aren't." Mike said as our waitress came back setting two of our plates down.
"We are having fun, it'll be better if you didn't try to separate the two of them." I said as I begun digging through my purse for the anti-bacterial.
"I'm not trying to separate them." Mike said.
"Bull shit Mike, we all see it….just stop, please?"
"I don't know what your talking about." Mike said as Adora plopped down on the booth across from us scooting in.
"Anything good in there?" I asked as I set the bottle of anti-bacterial on the table as Alex finally was able to sit down.
"Yeah, a few songs…may we play one afterwards?" Adora asked.
"That is if we can find any change." I said.
"I'm sure we could find some or ask for change from the waitress." Alex said as Alex propped his hand back up behind my sister on the booth when the waitress brought out the other two plates. "How'd you get fries and I didn't?" Alex asked.
"Because I'm special, see, I even got a smiley ketchup face." Adora said showing him the small bowl she could use for her ketchup.
"That's cute…" Alex said.
"That's very manly of you." Mike joked as I poured some anti-bacterial on my hands before I begun pouring it onto other peoples hands before shutting it and setting it on the table for others to use if they felt like they needed more. I rubbed mine in until it had dried out since I didn't want any of the wet anti-bacterial getting on my food or tasting that when I chewed my food. Alex reached over stealing one of Adora's fries.
"Hey, get your own!" Adora said as Alex smirked with a fry hanging out of his mouth.
"I just did, didn't I?" Alex said.
"Your own, and not from my plate." Adora said as Mike reached over grabbing a fry. "Not you too." Adora said.
"You said he can't, you never said I couldn't." Mike said.
"Steal from Maryse's…." She said nodding to me.
"Hey, don't encourage it, I like my fries." I said covering my fries so neither of them can try to steal from me. We all slowly ate not making much conversation since we were all focused on eating, we slowly came to slow stops on eating due to how full we were when Alex stole another fry.
"Now, you can eat as many as you want, I won't be able to finish them." Adora said as she pushed her plate back.
"Fries are the best part of the meal." Alex said as he ate one more before the waitress came back with the check, "Excuse me sweetie, may we get change for a couple of bills?" Alex asked as he begun pulling out his wallet.
"For the juke box? Here are a couple tokens, free of charge." She said handing us four.
"Sweetie?" Adora asked, I kicked her under the table to get her not to get too mad, at least not right now when Mike is here.
"I heard if you call the waitress's sweetie or such they will give you better services." Alex said.
"They also said that waitresses and waiters say that to the customers to get a bigger tip, I think you got them mixed up." I said.
"Me too, I've never heard of that." Adora said.
"Well it's true…you want to dance?" Alex asked sliding out of the booth sticking his hand to help Adora and meant the question to be for her as well when Mike jumped up from his seat.
"Absolutely." Mike said as he grabbed Alex's hand and begun to slow dance with him then.
"Mike! He wants to dance with Adora, your going to dance with me." I said as I started sliding out.
"But-"
"No Mike…your dancing with me." I said as Alex helped my sister out of the booth and led her to the juke box while Mike and I went to pay for the check, we walked over to see Alex and Adora's eyes glued to the jukebox picking out a song, "Find any good ones?" I asked.
"Yeah, you'll enjoy this." Adora said pushing a certain number when a song started playing.
"I've never heard this song." I said listening to the slow beat that was playing.
"Me neither, what the heck?" Adora asked.
"I think you pushed the wrong number." Alex said pointing to the one I wanted and looked at the button I pushed.
"Oops…" Adora said laughing a tad.
"Shall we?" Alex asked as he turned to look at my sister.
"Sure." Mike said as he stepped between my sister and Alex and begun slow dancing with Alex again.
"Mike, your being ridiculous." I said grabbing Mike by the shirt pulling out of Alex's grip to dance with me allowing Adora and Alex to dance.
"Look at them, their too close…" Mike said as he was watching them like a hawk.
"Mike, we are closer together than they are." I stated.
"But they are too close for friends." Mike stated.
"Is there any such thing as too close for friends?"
"Yes…" Mike said as I begun to get tired of him going on and consistently watching them so I stopped dancing with him dragging him back to our table to sit.
"Mike look….I know you don't want them to date but you want them both to be happy, look at them, do they look happy to you?" I asked pointing to them.
"Yeah, they both look extremely happy and I haven't seen either of them smile that big before."
"Do you want to ruin that happiness? Dating or not, if they like each other, that I don't know but I don't want that happiness to be ruined, think about that…" I said as he just nodded and I could tell he was honestly thinking about it when the song ended and Alex and Adora walked back to us.
"You guys want to pick the next song?" Adora asked as they stood beside our table.
"I think we need to get on the road, we have a 2 hour drive ahead of us…I figured get in there and get some sleep, maybe hit the beach in the morning because I know you were saying you wanted to hit the beach." Mike said as he slid out allowing me to grab my belongings and slide out beside him.
"Yeah, that sounds great." Adora said smiling.
"Let's get going then." I said as we headed out of the restaurant to do the drive to our hotel and the next town.
