Chapter 9

We were sitting in the booth in the restaurant and Jason could not stop laughing at me.  He had told me to order anything I wanted, so… I did.  I had ordered two poached eggs on an English muffin covered with Hollandaise sauce, served with roasted potatoes and fresh fruit.  I also had bacon on the side and two fruit cocktails to drink.  When I was done eating, I just grabbed my stomach, I was so full.  It felt like my stomach would just burst.  It felt good to be full but at the same time it hurt.  Also the fact that Jason laughed at me when our food had arrived at the table, he had told me I looked like a kid at a candy store.  I knew he was right, I was so happy to see all that food and knowing that I could eat it and no one was going to take it away.  It was an amazing feeling. 

He laughed a lot but when he was just looking at me, it’s as though he wondered if I could eat the whole meal and if I did, and would it fit in my stomach.

He had The Special which is 2 eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and crepe, served with roasted potatoes and toast with coffee to drink.

After he paid for our breakfast, we left and walked back towards my apartment.  ‘Can you walk or do you just want me to roll you back to your place?’ he asked laughing because I still had my both hands are arms on my stomach.  I rolled my eyes, ‘Thanks Jason, for breakfast.  You didn’t have to but I really appreciate it.  It was amazing.’ I smiled at him.

He walked me back towards my apartment and stopped at the door and looked at me.

‘Do you want me to go, you probably have things to do?’

It was awkward, I didn’t want him to leave but I’m sure he has things to do.  He does have a life after all, a family and friends.  I didn’t want to seem needy, I’d seen girls be that way with their boyfriends, NOT that Jason was my boyfriend or anything but I found it sad, sad for the girl but I felt really bad for the guy.

‘You can do what you want.  You want to leave, leave.  You want to stay, stay.  Honest, do what you want.’  I said.  I opened the door to the building stepped inside and turned to look at him to see what his decision was.

He entered the building and I closed the door.  We walked up the stairs to my apartment.  When I saw my front door with 223 written on it I got my keys out.  We hadn’t spoken since we entered the building.  Unlocking and opening the door, I let Jason enter the apartment first, after I got in I closed the door and locked it.
