Chapter 28
"Can we suspend the humorous and talk about our destination, I need to call mom to ask what she wants".
"I'll settle things, why don't we go to Chicken World and get what we want and when we're done we can go over to cakes and slices for dessert". Aurora said acting the wise man among the foolish.
"Such wise counsel, what would we have done without you". Brandon said and everyone was in laughters.
"Well what can I say I don't like to be in the public's eye but then you know once I open my mouth the attention comes automatically".
"Would you like an advice then, it'll really help".
"What advice?"
" Shut up".
"I would take that advice but then think of all the people who would be in trouble cause I refused to open my mouth".
"More like there would be less trouble". Branson replied.
"You just have to argue, face the road would you, we would soon get into an accident if you continue this way".
"Young lady in case you were too short to see we're here already Md I'm only parking the car not driving".
"Same thing you could bump into something or another car while trying to park".
"Well missus can you kindly alight from the car so we can get something to eat now or you have different plans".
"What's with the d**k acting, you're buying a meal and I'm getting crucified".
"Crucifixion is a little overboard maybe persecution but we'll make sure to keep you alive". Paul joked.
"Paul Saint what honourable intentions you have to boast of".
"Can we go eat before I pass out and need to be resuscitated". Arianna half screamed bringing everybody back.
"Okay, missus".
The trio make their way to the tall glass building leaving Brandon behind to call Mrs Salvatore to ask what she wanted to get, all through the way the trio discuss what food they should eat.
"Okay now that we're in here I have no idea what I want to eat any longer". Arianna says bringing them to a halt as they draw close to the counter. The display of several mouth watering chicken and the likes.
"Did Chicken World under go a personnel change in the few weeks we didn't visit here".
"I should assume you're an occasional frequenter". A young boy looking their age who suddenly appeared from nowhere said.
"An occasional frequenter? Is that an actual word or an assumed word". Arianna said scanning through her literature notes.
"Before Arianna decides to recite the rules of grammar and speech and the likes, can you serve us food pretty boy". Aurora said batting her eyes at him.
"I can't cause you haven't told me your order, how could I possibly just serve you".
"Cheeky ain't we? I'm too hungry for a word battle so I'll order now, I want chicken and chips, extra serving please and some cheese by the side, then let me have the medium cup ice cream double flavour".
"Noted missus , what would the nerd lady and the Cassiano of our time like?"
"Cassiano?"
"Ari, no chatters". Aurora said, she was too hungry.
"Somebody is very hungry well I'll have the same thing with aurora aside cheese, no cheese please I'm not a fan of cheese".
"I would like an hamburger and chicken".
"Will that be all?"
"Add cola please".
"Cola for me too".
"Okay, your order will be with you in a few minutes you can take a sit at any open table of your choice".
" Hey guys, so mum said dad will not be coming home this night and we can get her take out, so you guys ordered yet?"
"Yeah, we have".
"And mine?"
"Whoops sorry we didn't where you can go order your food now and other mums take out too".
"Any recommendations, well don't worry, I'll know what to get".
"And please and please in everything you do do not respond to that young boy behind the counter".
"Okay".
Brandon gets to the counter only to meet a rather old man had Aurora not say to not respond to be boy. Brandon comes back to the table with his tray of food and asks if the old man behind the counter is a young boy in any way
"There is a man old enough to be your grandpa behind the counter and you told me it was a young boy".
" There was a young boy earlier, but why did you come with your food tray and we have to wait for our food".
"Don't you get your food tray immediately".
"We met a young boy who said there's a change of personnel, oh shit we said there's a change of personnel ".
"And that youngboy said our food will be ready in 5 minutes".
"I propose, I go help you guys check on your food okay, keep an eye if my food while I go check what's going on with your order". Brandon stands up and goes to the counter to check what's wrong.
"Okay according to the man behind the counter there is no young boy serving here, are you sure you guys weren't seeing double". Brandon says and grabs a sit at the table
" what do you mean there was a boy talking all the time and spouting sh*t about us being occasional frequent, calling Paul Cassiano and are you kidding me?" Arianna says looking like she was about to explode from rage.
" Is that boy some kind of lost psychiatric patient on the road". Aurora gasps.
"Why did you have to imagine the worst". Paul says with a laugh.
" How wouldn't I have imagined the worst this isn't some fairy tale where a boy appears and disappears". Aurora explodes in rage
"Chill out Aurora I'm sure the hot meant no harm he might have missed his way and found himself behind the counter and you know everything got mixed up".
"Nice telenovela script, aunt has been making you watch too many obviously".
