Our two guests turned and took the bags from him.
Rain handed the Uber guy a twenty.
“Thanks, man.” He looked happy. “There’s butter packets and syrup in the bags. Then lots of napkins. Thanks again and have a great day!” He turned and walked away.
“I already tipped him forty on the gift card,” Selena told us. “He did well this morning,”
The guys brought the bags in.
Henry nodded at Selena. “Maybe it’s time for me to become an Uber guy.”
Rain shook his head and commented, “Too much work for you.”
Henry scoffed. “I can work as hard as the next bloke.”
“Ihop?” I exclaimed when I saw the bags. “Hell yeah!”
Selena grinned at him. “Of course, I knew you would love it. Bacon and pancakes with syrup. The eggs are the only healthy part about it.”
“That’s exactly it! Down home cooking. Like farmland stuff,” I cheered as I went over to the table. “I am glad you get it. Lots of boxes too…Awesome. I could eat a full banquet this morning.”
My friends backed up and allowed me to grab what I wanted.
“Thanks amigos. I did without real food for far too long and I now enjoy every meal to its finest. Oh and cafe!” I grabbed a styrofoam cup of coffee.
“Better than that crap in the rooms,” Rain muttered.
“Amen!” Henry agreed. “That is simply brown water. Not coffee.”
We all got boxes and silverware. Using the square containers of syrup on our pancakes, we all enjoyed the breakfast.
I couldn’t seem to help it, I kept moaning and groaning, like I did with every meal.
My friends kept laughing.
“He is serious about his food,” Selena told them.
I raised my head as presently, my mouth was full. All I could do was nod.
“Seriously insane, you mean,” Henry joked.
I swallowed then swiped my mouth with a napkin. “Seven months…That’s how long I vegetated. I’m surprised I didn’t wake up as a skeleton.”
“We are too,” Henry told me. “But nooo…Still got your abs, shiny silky hair and that skin! Why do Latins have such smooth skin? Damn.”
Rain laughed. “Practicing your gayness there, Sir Gaylord?” He then took a swig of his coffee.
“Maybe but I noticed you do not need to practice.”
“Ohhh, snap,” I exclaimed as I laughed.
“Boys, behave,” Selena said even though she smiled hugely.
The two men nodded and shut up to eat just like she said.
I snorted. Funny, what a knife blade 2 inches from your face could accomplish.
We finished our breakfast and talked about what would be needed for this trip.
