Chapter 2 The lunch

(Michael's pov)

"So where do we head to" I asked Anita opening the car door for her. I was still angered deep down but I gat no choice. Anita can be a drama doll and i know if she goes to my dad she will mess things up for me.

"Just anywhere you go I'll be by your side" she said and I smirked lightly. What kind of statement was that. It sounded more like a marriage vow to me. I waved the thoughts off and faced my driver Josh.

"Just take us to a restaurant that will be pleasant" I said and entered into the car.

"The one with delicious food" Anita chirped in smiling sheepishly. I can't wait to do away with this pest I thought and faced my gaze to the window side.

"I know of a restaurant....The Rosa's actually they make really good food" Josh said and i nodded and gave Anita a small smile.

" Then the Rosa's it is" I said and Anita chuckled before intertwining her arms with mine which sort of made me madly uncomfortable.

"I miss us"Anita suddenly said and i became puzzled. What the hell is she talking about. There was never US...this psycho must be a joker! I thought and hissed inwardly. After some time, we arrived at the restaurant and I couldn't be more thankful cause Anita kept boring me with her stupid talks.

"Mikky" Anita whined and i secretly roll my eyes.

"It's Micheal or Mike" I corrected.

"But I enjoy calling u Mikky" Anita pouted and i swallowed some spit

"Then Mikky it is"I said

"Are you okay with the restaurant?" Anita asked and I pretended as if I heard nothing.

"Are you okay with the restaurant?" Anita asked again...more louder this time.

"Im fine with anything" I said plainly and came down from the car. I motioned for her to come down but instead she sat still and pouted. I got the message immediately and sigh tiredly before going to the other side to open the car door for her.

"Look up Gracia!" Sarah said from the counter. And I looked up. Two people were walking into the restaurant a handsome man and a girl. They look like they are in a relationship base on the way the girl smile sweetly at him. That kind of smile that tells so many thing.

"Hmm" I said fetching my apron to get their order.

"Just hmm?...can't you see they look so so good together....but I think she's wearing too much make up" Sarah said resting on the counter with her hands on her chin as she watched them sit. I sigh and gave a small laugh

"You should take notice of the man's face...he looks like he's going to die anytime soon" I said laughing making Sarah laugh.

"He looks pretty tired...but he's also rich" Sarah said grinning.

"You should get back to work Dum Dum....I pray you don't get sold all because of money" I said laughing while adjusting my glasses.

"That's your business...go get the orders I'll serve them" Sarah said and winked at me.

"Don't tell me you want to make passes at him" I said and led out a slight gasp.

"Just watch me" Sarah said sticking out her tongue.

"Can't u see he has a girl beside him who seem pretty much possessive of him?...you unbelievable" I said shaking my head as I tightened my apron.

"Just go get the orders and stop being a case here" Sarah said and rolls her eyes.

"This place looks classless...don't you think so?" Anita said as she dropped her bag on the table. I sighed inwardly and hissed slightly.

"I don't see anything wrong here...I'm fine with it" I said throwing my hands up in the air.

"Good day ma'am..good day sir...your orders please" A tiny sharp voice said beside me and I looked up to see the waitress. Hazel eyes, thick brown curly hairs, a small pouted cheery lips suitable for her oval shaped face. She was putting on glasses and for a moment she seemed familiar...*or have I seen her before?* I thought.

"Your orders Mikky!" Anita said banging the table with her fist.

"Just water....yes water" I said and looked away.

"Don't serve him water....he will be having same thing as me" Anita said and i cursed inwardly.

"Be right back" the waitress said before leaving to get the orders.

"What did u order for" I suddenly asked.

"Spiced spaghetti and grilled chicken wings" Anita said adjusting comfortably on the chair while I just shrug. And brought out my phone. I badly want to keep myself busy before our orders would be here.

"And what was that for?" Anita asked and I raised my face up to meet her questioning face.

"What" I asked fidgeting with my phone

"You were drooling at the waitress and I don't like it"Anita said biting her lower lips in anger and I clear my throat nervously.

"It not what you think Annie....she just looked familiar nothing more okay...you more beautiful"I said and gave her a small smile making her smile too. I heaved a sigh of relief. It is what it is I thought.

"It had better be....you mine alone Mikky" she said and I chuckled.

"Your orders sir..." Another voice said and I knew instantly it was not the first waitress. I looked up at her and gave her a nod to place the food on the table.

"Would you love to have anything thing else ?" The waitress asked again she seemed to be flirtatious. She was staring intensely at me.

"Back to earth moron" Anita yelled snapping her fingers to the waitress first which seemed pretty interesting and funny as the waitress jerked.

"You seem to be drooling over my man....is that what you are being paid for? I wouldn't mind seeing your manager for this you scum!...and you should know you can't have him cause you ugly and not up to his standards so run off and only come back for the bill" Anita said with all form of serious as I just sat still watching the drama with a straight expression. My eyes hovered round the restaurant and I noticed people particularly staring at our table. I looked over at the counter and found the first waitress laughing. I took notice of her dimples instantly and found her laughs pretty good making me part my lips into a small smile.

"Ugh....you can leave now and come back later for the bill" I said to the waitress Anita was scolding.

"Can you imagine" Anita said batting her lashes before hissing loudly.

"We can just stop the drama and eat right?" I said.

"There are no dramas Mike she was.." Anita tried saying.

"Just let that slide please....let just eat okay?"I said and she nodded before pushing the tray of food to her side.

(Sarah's pov)

What the hell just happened....that lady is a meanie! She just embarrassed me....not like her so called boyfriend is really into her...tch! Thanks goodness Rosa is not here....she might be with the other staffs in the kitchen I thought as I walked back to the counter where Gracia was laughing really hard at me.

"And nothing seem to be funny here" I said and rolled my eyes before taking a sit beside Gracia.

"I told you right?.....you don't just listen ...you just made a fool out of yourself" Gracia said still laughing which seemed pretty annoying and embarrassing.

"I know....not like I like him I just wanted to catch fun with him nothing more" I said diverting my eyes back to their table.

"Even when you saw he was with his woman?" Gracia said trying to control her laughter by making a serious formal face.

"That's their business....I'll go get more grilled chicken from the kitchen" I said and stood up. I just needed to leave at that moment at least to ease my self of the stares I was getting from the customers.

That lady must sure be a meanie.*

(Gracia's pov)

I sat closer to the counter and looked around the restaurant. Customers were not trooping in yet so I just sat playing with my hair while taking note if the customers that are yet to pay their bills. My eyes met with the man again. The one with the lady who got into a misunderstanding with Sarah a while ago. I stared at him for so long and it seemed he was not ready to break the stare so I just moved my eyes else where. *He must be a flirt* I thought. Cause he is right there sitting with a man and won't stop staring at me. Tch!.

I looked back at his table again. This time, he was not the one staring at me. His girlfriend was sending me death glares. He was just busy with his phone while he sipped his water. She kept staring at me with so much unfriendly expression that I just pretended to adjust my glasses but used that opportunity to divert my eyes elsewhere.

*Oh my! Where is Sarah!....i don't think I'll be able to go fetch their bills.....that lady seem to be pretty aggressive* I thought and looked towards the kitchen area but saw no sign of Sarah. I looked back at their table. They were done eating but were chatting.....I noticed he was not really into the conversation or so....he only said few things one at a time while she did the talking. Somewhat i found it funny that I had to bend my face under the counter to giggle.

(Anita's pov)

"So...you know, I love grilled chicken wings like alot... When we finally get to be together forever I'll make you fall in love with them" I said laughing expecting a reply from Micheal but he only nodded absent mindedly....his gaze were somewhere else. I traced his eyes and noticed he was looking at the waitress. The one with the glasses. He was not the only one staring. They were staring at each other!...*is this some sort of joke or what* I thought.

"Micheal" I said with a straight look. And he looked up at me with a smile. I know that smile if his and I'm getting use to it. That kind of fake smile.

"Does she still look familiar or what!" I said dropping my fork.

"It's...I mean no....my eyes were just hovering around...I don't know her" he said sounding unsure before bringing out his phone. I looked back at the counter and my eyes met with hers. I stared at her eyeball through those glasses of her with so much fury. *Such a hindrance!* I thought as I stared keenly at her. She clumsily looks away while adjusting her glasses. I hissed loudly before turning again to Micheal.

*I don't care if I'm creating any scene. I'm just trying to protect what is mine....besides it no one's business* I thought to my self after noticing the stares I was getting.

"Are you sure you don't know her?" I asked Micheal again and he raised his gaze up from his phone.

"No...I don't think I know her....though she somewhat looks familiar" Micheal said and I just nodded slowly.

"You want anything else" Micheal stuttered....and I nodded negatively picking up my glass of water. I looked at Mike again. His gaze was on his phone. I've been the one doing the talkings.... tch!. He just seem less bothered.

*But that won't stop us from being together....with time* I thought and watched him go all busy with his phone. He only said few words. While I tried enlarging the conversation.

*All these are just for sometime....with time he will know he needs me more than ever* I thought to myself.
