6 months later...
Theo sat in a booth with Laila as they ordered food. He decided to take her out for lunch and Laila was free, given that her son was with her mother for the next two days, so she agreed.
They began to talk after they bumped into each other at the gas station one day, almost six months ago. Theo liked Laila and she liked him too and that lead to their relationship.
Their waitress walked to their table, “Hey, have you decided on what to get”. She asked sultry noticing Theo
It would be a lie if any had said Theo was unattractive because he wasn't. He was brownskin with small yet round eyes and slender big lips. 6ʼ4 in height and a deep bassed voice, he was very attractive.
“Yeah can I get—”, Theo and Laila realised they were talking in unison
Theo squinted his eyes at Laila, something he did when he was a bit irritated, “You gon' say what you want?”. He asked softly
Laila rolled her eyes noticing his squinted eyes, “No, go”
“I'll have the steak and mashed potatoes with mushroom sauce” Theo said
The waitress wrote his order down, “I'll be back with your order soon”. She said rolling her eyes at Laila and began to walk away
Just as Laila was about to call out for the waitress, Theo beat her to it and called for her, “C'mere”. The waitress blushed as she heard call for her and walked back to him moving a hips forcefully
“I know you seen my girl...”, He pointed to Laila
“Yet you didn't take her order, why?”. This made the waitress roll her eyes as she heard him say "my girl”
She forced a smile, “Sorry, I didn't notice you. What can I get you”. Laila rolled her eyes, “Listen girl, you seen me so don't lie and he's the one that don't want you so direct that attitude to him. I don't want you either but you wasn't tryna get me to notice you so miss me with that attitude”. Laila said making Theo smirk at her 'intolerant' attitude
The waitress blushed in embarrassment as people turned their heads towards their table.
Laila cleared her throat, “Now, I'll have the chicken curry with slices of ciabatta”. She waved the waitress off
The waitress walked off and Laila rolled her eyes noticing Theo smirking at her, “What?”
Theo shrugged, “Nun”. Laila's phone rang and she waves Theo off as she answered the video phone, it was her mother.
Laila smiled in the camera, “Hey ma”. She greeted
“Hey baby, someone wanted to check on you”. Her mother gave the phone to Laila's son, Elijah.
“Mama”, the three year old said smiling
“Hey mama's baby”. She gushed smiling at her son
Elijah pressed his hand on the phone, “I love you, ma ”. He smiled
Laila smiled, “I Iove you too, Eli”
