sipping it slowly, eyeballing her.
“So through deduction, you probably didn’t pay attention to that word in school either, but I have the right to treat you like one.”
Michelle raised her hand high up into the air. The power of the incoming strike inched closer to Terri’s face. Before her hand slid across, a force impeded all movements. She looked behind her and saw her husband grabbing her hand.
“What’s going on here?”
She ignored him to keep her focus on Terri. “Dammit, say something, little girl.”
Terri’s eyes darted back and forth from Michelle and then to her father. They all turned their heads when they heard a knock at the door.
“My boyfriend is here. Bye.” Terri left without responding to either of them.
Michelle’s husband gently grabbed her for a hug, but she pushed him away. “I told you to talk to her. Why haven’t you yet? The detective working on Adny’s case constantly calls, wanting to talk to her, but she refuses. I’m getting more tired and frustrated each day my daughter is in that damn hospital because your daughter couldn’t keep her damn mouth closed.”
“Honey, please remain calm. I’m sorry, but I've been really busy with work lately. I promise I will talk to her today.” She turned her head away when he leaned in for a kiss. “Until you talk to that little girl, you can kiss your own damn self, make your own damn breakfast, and sleep on that ugly couch you bought.”
T o tune out all of the commotion from the kitchen, Junior decided to eat breakfast at a restaurant downtown. The restaurant was called Luke’s Lightning Kitchen. It was the same place where he took Mickey for their first date. He walked up to the outside of the building and noticed the bright blue paint chipping on the outside. Inside, the same picture of music legends hung from the ceiling.
He used to go to the restaurant on a regular basis with Adny for peace in the afternoons. They knew most of the employees on a first name basis. He immediately greeted the waitress on duty. “Hello Maybel.”
She led him to the booth near the jukebox. The seating area seemed too familiar, so he looked under the table and saw M&J scratched in. Maybel chatted before taking his order “It’s good to see you, Junior. Where is Mickey?”
While she spoke, his mind fell into deep thought about their first date.
There was not much chatter amongst them while Junior and Mickey sat at the table. Both of them were nervous. Maybel gave them water and some biscuits to start. The place was crowded with families and couples eager to eat the tasty breakfast. The smell of fresh scrambled eggs and pancakes uplifted the spirit of the restaurant. Everyone in the area knew Luke’s Lightning Kitchen was known for famous omelets. Grilled vegetable omelets, shrimp omelets, and Tex-Mex omelets were the most popular.
Junior was familiar with the place and offered to order for Mickey. “The shrimp omelet is really good. Do you want to share one to try it out first?”
Before Maybel came back, Mickey grabbed both of his hands and asked Junior to look under the table. M&J scratched under the surface. “Junior, this will be our seat forever, now.”
They both couldn’t stop smiling when Maybel came back and asked, “What would you like to order this morning?”
Junior spoke up first. ”We would like one order of the shrimp omelet.” Mickey smiled at him in return.
Junior snapped back to reality when Maybel asked, “What do you mean we ? It’s only you sitting here. Do you still want the shrimp omelet?”
“Yes, I do. I’m sorry. I was just thinking about when I came here a long time ago.”
Maybel went back to the kitchen to deliver his order to the chefs. A new video was watched while he waited for the food to come.
