To be honest, it has been quite a long day already and I am indeed starving, as we entered the building of Burger Up, Amary and I smiled at each other like sick, gluttonous, people who is ready to devour yummy food,
“HA, I knew this was your plan, to make me fat and so I will never be attractive to any other guy” I rolled my eyes at her sarcasm, which in reality it just means that she is starving to death,
“Table for two sir?” A lady approached us,
“Yes please,”
“This way sir,” we sat on a long wooden table near the wall, the ambiance was really good, well lit area and not to exaggerated design for this, total hippy place,
“I am not sure why I have not eaten here yet,” Amary asked,
“Well, what have you been up to this past few years anyways?” We both looked at the Menu as we spoke,
“I have been in and out of the country, mostly about P but I was also learning a lot of things about our business, you I wanted to make sure that the ships we build are always of quality, sometimes I go with the most dangerous paths this ships go to in order to deliver,”
A waiter approached us asking us if we are ready to order,
“I’ll have. . . burger of the week, lemonade, Pimento potato skin 7,” I took a look at the menu again looking for the one that Amary ordered,
“I’ll have bloody mary, chopped kale salad, then Woodstock burger,” I
“Is that all sir?” I nodded,
“Thanks” I said as I handed him the menu,
“Alright sir, serving time might take about 15 to 20 minutes” he took a look at Amary then me,
“Can I ask, is your, you know hair naturally red?”
“Yes, my mom’s hair is actually quite redder than mine, I was called Ginger by my grandparents, my father’s parents, to be exact,” I chuckled as she looks very happy reminiscing,
“My grandparents on my father’s side are Olivia and Francisco, of course they are the ones who owns the winery and that they have outlived my father, they are loving their life in their mansion in Greece, overlooking the ocean, and while my mother’s parents, Selena and Charles does not fancy my father, saying that my father took my mother away from the Broadway, my mother was very famous for making the costumes used by the artists there, she was about to have her own line but then she met my father, and you know what followed after that.” the drinks were served to us as we spoke, she took a sip as I thought,
“But, are all your grandparents still alive?” I asked,
“Yes?”
“But no one, among them visited during your father’s death, I am pretty sure they all know that he died” she looked down on the table then to me,
“My father’s parents, Olivia and Francisco learned about P, and ever since then, they got very angry to my father saying that they did not raise a son of a b***h,” she I think, mimicked how it was said,
“And your mother’s parents?”
“I have not seen them since I was like 15, since my mother died” she took a long sip of her lemonade and then a sigh,
“I did not look for them though, who cares about their anger towards my father? As far as I know, since my mother’s death they fled to Europe, and that is all I know” I nodded,
“I am sorry, for asking these questions or even making you tell me this story” I said as I drank
“It is all true though, I am not longer affected by it at all anymore, you know us rich people we have all the drama, we are mentally damaged and look at us, strong yet really fragile” she took another sigh, making me actually quite sad for her,
“How about your family?” she asked me,
“Well, nothing was too fancy about our family, regular business people,”
“You mean, billionaires of New York” she rolled her eyes and smiled,
“Ha ha, I mean, we were quite a good family before my father was shot during his awarding as an Executive of the year when I was 10, since then I aspired to do everything to make myself strong, I practiced mixed martial arts, shooting, and then even until now I am still searching for my father’s killer” I bit my lips and saw her pouting her lips, I chuckled at her cuteness though,
“Well, you know what, I know a very good spot but we have to go to the market first and buy some necessities,” she quickly retorted and my brows met and nodded at her silliness,
Soon the food was served to us,
“Ohhhh, interesting, messy meal” she said the waiter chuckled, Amary gathered her hair and placed it up as our food was being served,
“Amary Anthur?” the waiter asked,
“Ughm, yes?”
“Oh my goodness, it is our pleasure to have you in our restaurant,”
“Well, thank the man in front of me, it was him who brought me here,”
“Thank you sir, please enjoy your meal” he said as he finished serving us,
“Goodness, this looks good!” she took a bite of the burger she have and damn she did not even divide it, she grabbed it and bit it!
“Damn, that is one hell of a woman,” Levi said, which made me realize I was looking at her, starring at her as she ate,
“What are you waiting for?” she asked, I was startled and sauce was all over her face and it was just then that I realized she was really wearing no make-up on her face,
“Damn it, here goes nothing” I took a bite and damn, it was excellent!
“Oh wow, try this one” I made us switch plates and then she took a bite from mine, “Oh excellent!” she said, “Let’s switch burgers,” I chuckled and gave her mine,
We took a taste of our side dishes,
And we greatly enjoyed our food,
Most of our time was used from criticizing the food that our palates have tasted,
“Damn I am stuffed!” she said which made me chuckle,
“Damn, I am too!” we both chuckled this time,
“So where are we off to next?”
She signaled for the bill then after we paid we took a bit of time to appreciate the stuffed tummies we have,
“Well at the back of our house actually, about 20 steps away I have a treehouse there and what we need are cheap drinks,” she winked at me,
“Alright, let’s get it on!”
