• Day 2

    I awoke to find Brandon sitting on the armchair right across from the coffee machine. K.C. was back in the room, but not awake. She was sprawled across her bed, and her snoring was most of the sound in the room. I guess James was cleaning up in the bathroom. “Hey, Sara. You have been asleep for a while. Are you hungry?” Brandon asked me. He was in the Hollister shirt I got him before he left, and his kaki shorts. His hair was kind of long and short at the same time. His creamy brown hair was damp, and his wavy curls made him look even better. “I’m okay. We can go get dinner across the street with just us if you want.” I answered, trying to get him to go on a quick breakfast date with me. He started laughing, and slashed his hand through his hair. “You know I would, Sara. You didn’t even have to ask. I would have followed you any way.” He said, standing up. He put out his hand, and I pulled on up. I grabbed my brush, and put up hair in a cute pony tail. I was already dressed from last night, so I just threw on some deodorant, and headed out the door. When we got to the parking lot, I saw the car I had been missing for so long. His white Chevy. The I-Hop was right across the street, so we headed there.
    As we walked in, he yawned and purposely dropped his arm on my shoulder. The young waitress spotted him, and skipped over lightly to where we were. She rubbed her lips together, and let out a nasty smile. “How many?” She asked, winking at Brandon. Her toothy smile was the only thing I could look at. It was the ugliest I had ever seen. “Uh, two.” Brandon said wincing at the sight of her terrible smile. He ran his hand through his hair, and followed Ms. Toothy to our table. She set down the fancy menus, and ran over to the host. I saw her whispering as she stared at me and Brandon. What’s her deal? “Okay, was that just me or was she the weirdest person I have ever seen?” Brandon asked me with a sickish tone to his voice. “No one could ever forget that toothy smile. Plus, I think she has a thing for you.” I answered him, being as truthful as I could.
