"Shrimp and Crab Nachos with some salada and red wine" Ria replied her stucking her nose in the air. As the waitress left with the order, I was sitting like a fool as they didn't asked me once for the order. I kept back the menu on the table and excused myself to go washroom. I heard Emily and Saphia's laugh to and was halled in my way. Though, I don't want to peek inside their private area. But couldn't stopped myself from doing it.

I peeked through the curtain, Sophia's was spoon- feeding Emily and they both were laughing. Sophia face looked tension- free and brightened, the way I wanted her to smile. Suddenly, someone cleared her throat behind me. I whirled around and saw her mom standing with a norrowed eyes." Sorry, mam."I quickly moved from there and sauntered towards the washroom later, I come back to Ria our table and saw Ria applying her lipstick on her lips." Baby, I missed you," she gave me a seductively smile. I shrugged my sho- ulders and rolling my eyes ignored her. Then, the waitress came up with the orders, as she placed the order. On the table.

So, I nodded my head in response and took the glass from her. For her sake, I took a sip of wine and placed it back on the table." Thank you," she smiled and placed her hand on mine. " It's okay " I mumbled. As she removed the cover lid of the dish to have dinner the crab caught her nose and she screamed in pain." Help me, Xavier."
