"Hey, you're the one who wanted to take me on this road trip. I'm just trying to keep the peace because without these foods for a woman at that time of the month," I waved my hand.
"Well, you don't really want to know."
So I put the basket on the counter. The cashier overheard our conversation, she looked at Mu Kai and said.
"Trust your girlfriend, we girls are two sheets short of psycho when it comes to our special little time like that." She said.
He just stood there and looked at both of us, speechless, as she rang up the food. She gave me the total, and I looked at Mu Kai.
"We are just a friend," I told the cashier girl.
"Oh, sorry miss," She apologised.
Then I waved it's okay.
Mu Kai looked at me in confusion.
"Really? You want me to pay for this crap?"
The cashier leaned over the counter and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Remember, 2 sheets short of psycho." She help me.
He pulled out his wallet and paid as he was mumbling under his breath. He took the bag and headed out.
I looked at the cashier and high fived her.
"Thank you."
"We girls need to stick together," she said.
I walked out of the store smiling as he sat in the car waiting for me.
We headed back to the interstate as he looked at me.
"What?" I smiled.
"You're crazy, I just wanted you to know that."
I laughed.
"Thanks for the compliment, I know, but I promise it's only for a few days."
He shook his head, and I saw how hard he was trying to fight a smile.
We saw some signs on the interstate for some restaurants. I was going to be polite and let him pick where he wanted to eat. He got off at the next exit, and we entered restaurants street.
"Take your pick Mr. Mu, the call is yours," I said as I moved my hand around.
"You really don't care where we eat?"
I looked at him and tilted my head.
"No, pick wherever you want, I like just about anything."
"Okay then," he smiled.
"There's a seafood restaurant over there."
I pressed my lips together and didn't say anything. I didn't like seafood, but I said it was his pick, and if that's what he wanted then that's what we'll have. They should have something non-seafood. We got out of the car as he held his arm out for me. I hooked my arm around his as we walked into the restaurant.
"Oh My God," I said as I looked around at the sharks and swordfish mounted to the walls.
A cute little girl walked over to us and said there was about a 30 minute wait, this was my chance to get the hell out of here. I didn't like staring at those things on the wall, they're creepy.
"30 minutes is a long time to wait Mr. Mu, maybe we should go somewhere else."
He looked at me with a smile.
"30 minutes is nothing, and time will fly by. Go look at those lobsters over there."
