I'm Sorry chapter 8
Natalie and Dan took a seat at a two seat table near the back of the restaurant. "I'm starving!" Dan groaned as the waitress handed them a menu. "We'll have 2 beef fajitas, please," he told the waitress.
"Sure. Anything else?" the waitress asked.
Dan looked at Natalie, who shook her head. "No. That'll be all," he said.
"Alright. I'll be back with your order soon," she said and left their table.
"Hey Dan," someone stopped at their table. Natalie looked up to see a hot dirty blonde haired guy who looked about her age. One good thing about America: There seems to be lots of hot guys.
"Hey. I heard you're trying out for the soccer team," Dan replied.
"Yeah. A lot of people at trying out though so I don't know if I'll make it,"
"Well... Good luck with that," Dan smiled at the boy.
"Is she your girlfriend? You broke up with Sophie?" he asked Dan.
"What? Oh. No. She's just a distant relative. Like... Really distant," Dan replied.
"Is she single?" the boy asked, laughing.
"Very funny, Matt," Dan laughed.
"I gotta go. See ya," he said as he made his way to the front door.
Just then, their food arrived. The waitress placed the plates on the table and quickly hurried back to the kitchen. "Hey Dan? Did you say his name is Matt?" Natalie asked.
"Yeah... why? Do you like him or something?" Dan questioned her.
"No. It's not that. I mean, is he Sophia's- I mean Sophie's ex-boyfriend?"
"Yes..." Dan replied as he reached for his fajita. He took a bite of it, waiting for Natalie to say something else, but she seemed to be finished.
That's when Natalie noticed Sophie enter the restaurant, heading straight for their table. Natalie couldn't help but smile.
