“Yep.” That was on purpose because of what she said.
She glares at me, then walks up to the register and orders fries and a milkshake.
“You aren’t getting a burger?”
“No. I just wanted fries and a milkshake.”
I shake my head and order a burger and a milkshake. With the amount of fries she ordered, there will be enough for me to pick off her plate.
She found a table near the back corner of the restaurant and stuck our table number in the metal stand. When I sit down, I stare at her for a second because she looks like she’s about to burst with glee.
“Oh. Ask me already!!” She’s flapping her hands around and bouncing up and down in her seat.
“How was your weekend?”
“No!”
“How’s Tony?”
“Not that either.”
“How are your parents?”
“No,” she whines.
“Your parents finally got a dog?”
“You are no fun, you know that?”
“That’s not what the boys say,” I smirk.
“Ooh feisty.” She wiggles her fingers at me in approval.
“Fine. What is it you’re so excited to tell me you are nearly bouncing out of your seat?” I slap the table. “You aren’t pregnant, are you?”
“Lord help me. No.” She scrunches her nose. “At least I don’t think.”
“Lizzy!”
“What? We had an oopsie a couple of nights ago.”
“That’s why you take the pill or something else.”
“You know I’m too much of a spaz to remember to take a pill every day.”
“They have other options, you know. Like IUDs.”
“You remember when I did it the one time, and I was in god awful pain for months? Doctors said it couldn’t be the IUD and then I take it out, and voila! No more pain?”
“Yes, but there are still other options.”
“Condoms. That’s pretty much it and the one a few nights ago busted, but I just had my period, so I don’t think I’m pregnant.” She shakes her head. “Why are we even talking about this, anyway? That’s not what I wanted to tell you!”
“Oh. What is it you want to tell me?”
“We almost have a wedding date!”
“You are so excited because youalmosthave a wedding date?”
