“Oh, those poppers?”
“Yes, can we please get some of those?” Alec asked.
“And fried pickles!” Emmy said a little loud. Her face got red as she sat back.
“Of course! I’ll get that in and be right back!” As she walked off, I saw Brittany in the
distance.
“Look who it is.” I said and nodded towards the kitchen area. Alec followed my eye.
“I’m surprised she still works here.” Alec frowned.
“Why?” Emmy leaned forward, ready for the gossip.
“Last time we were here, she sat beside Alec and didn’t realize who I was. Started talking
a bunch of s hit
before I gracefully introduced myself.” I said as I put my other hand on top of the hand
that was resting
on Alec’s.
“I’m sorry I missed that!” Emmy laughed. I would have loved to have seen that.”
“It was great. Though, I was used to people questioning why I was around Alec in the first
place.”

“Who’s else side was there?” I asked, confused.
“Angela’s.”
“Ah, that’s right. I forgot about her.” I nodded. “Which reminds me, I am sad the bar is
closed. I could
really go for some dancing.”
“Ahh, I can’t drink can I?” Emmy frowned as Ira came back with our drinks.
“Here you all go. Appitizers will be out shortly. Do you know what you want to order?” She
looked around.
“What are you going to get?” Alec asked me.
“My ususal. The pu-”
“Pulled pork no bun with fried okra?” Ira finished for me.
“You’re good.” I nodded.
“I like to think so.” She smiled and laughed. “For you Mr. Alec?”
“I’ll do the brisket with cheesy potatoes and beans.”
“Okay, and you for you ma’am?” She looked at Emmy.
“I’ll do the special today.” It was a half slab of ribs with fries.
“Perfect and you sir?”
“I’ll do the pork as well but with a bun and cheesy potatoes and beans.”
“Awesome. I’ll get that right in for you.” Ira took our menus with her as she walked away.
“I like her.” Emmy said.
“I love her. She is amazing at her job.”
“Are you guys still wanting to go swimming this afternoon?” Emmy asked us.
“We can. I wasn’t sure what you guys wanted to do. If you wanted to stay in, that would be
okay. I know
you got some big news and if you wanted alone time, we understood.” I was giving them
an out. Honestly,
the pond sounded more fun than the pool.
“We haven’t hung out in forever. I want to go swimming!” Emmy said with enthusiasm.
“Then we will go swimming.” I said. Something about making a pregnant girl happy was
satisfying. Alec
was slightly annoyed but kept it hidden.
“So, what are you guys plans all week. The only thing I know we have schedule is the
school test
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthursday.”
“Well, apparently, I need help with the design of the pool. We got approval for it to be
done but I needed to
finalize the plans.” Emmy frowned.
“I’ll be happy to help you tomorrow.” I said as our appetizers came out. Emmy instant put
a pickle in her
mouth. Ira looked alarmed as Emmy had to spit it out because it was hot. She drank half of
her tea before
she could talk.
“Oh no! Are you okay?” Ira looked at Emmy concerned.
“I’m good and those are hot but so good!”
The relief was clear on Ira’s face. “Oh good. Be careful. I brought some ranch for you to dip
them in. That
should help with the tempature of them.”
“Thank you, Ira!” Emmy said with a smile as she started blowing on the pickle.
“Don’t come between a pregnant woman and her food.” I mumbled as I took a pickle and
gently ate it. Jasper and Alec worked on the poppers. “These are really good.” Jasper said
with a mouthful.
