- About the Author
I take a seat from the chair across from him and he sits down in his seat. "Thank you. You look great as well," I say and give him a wink. "Have you ordered yet?"
"No, I was waiting for you."
"Sorry if I took long. I got held up with my parents," I say while rolling my eyes.
"Yea I know how it feels. Glad I moved out but they still bug."
"I love my parents don't get me wrong, and I am thankful for everything they have done for me but sometimes they can be so frustrating."
"You should move out," Cameron suggested.
"If only it was that easy," I mutter before picking up the menu and looking through all of the options.
They have a lot of good options. I have been to this restaurant a couple of times. They have really good food choices.
"Are you guys ready to order?" the waitress says.
Cameron and I both order our food, and we give our menus to her. She says that the food will be here in less than twenty minutes which is great because I am starving.
"So how is your sister? Is she still in the hospital?" I ask.
"No, she is at home now. But the doctor put her on new medication because I guess her body wasn't reacting to the medication she was taking before."
"How is your mom?"
"She is the same as always," Cameron shrugs his shoulders "But enough about me. How was your birthday? Did you guys have fun?"
My birthday was interesting.
I almost died from Russian assassins and then I later found out I have to have an arranged marriage to the person I hate the most in the world.
Same old, same old.
"It was good. We all had fun, but the club had to kick everyone out because of some trouble that someone caused," I lie. "But it was fun. It was a pretty good day. But I wished you stayed longer."
Honestly, I’m glad he didn't because if he did then he would probably have ended up dead.
"Yes, I know and I'm sorry."
"No, it's better that you went to your sister. She needed you."
The waitress soon came back with the food; I ordered spaghetti and meatballs.
The meatballs look really fucking good.
Cameron and I both talk about different things and while he is talking, I feel my phone vibrate from inside my purse.
I take it out and look down at the screen, I see Alexander's name flash across the screen while it is still vibrating in my hand. I roll my eyes and press the power button, making the phone stop vibrating. After a few seconds, it vibrates again, and I look at my phone and see his name again.
I look up at Cameron. "Can you give me a minute?" I ask Cameron. "I need to take this call."
