7. On the road again
I started the car while Xavier put in the co-ordinates and put the GPS on the window screen and off else went onto the road again.
"Let's play one thousand questions," I said.
"Isn't it twenty questions?" Xavier asked.
"Now it's nine hundred and ninety- nine. That's to little, this going to be a long ride so why not?" I said while looking in the middle mirror, at Bella who was sleeping in the back seat, spread out across both sides.
"Favourite colour?" I asked Xavier.
"Blue, yours?" Xavier replied.
"Blue, red and purple," I said.
So the drive continued and I learned many things about Xavier and so did Xavier learn many things about me. When I heard the GPS say, "You reached your destination." As I saw a restaurant, I gasped and said," No! Nooo! I swear, I followed ALL the directions!"
"Lizzy, what's wrong?" Xavier asked worried.
"Um, you see, I'm very BAD at directions and I might or might not have got us, lost in Europe! You see if you made me do the directions,I would have probably driven off a cliff by now," I said, after that I said, Xavier burst out laughing.
"Liz, I put the directions to lead us to this place, it is the best restaurant in Italy. And my favourite place in the world," Xavier said with a big grin.
"Ok, oops, my bad never mind," I said embarrassed as I parked into the parking space. I looked in mirror and saw my disguise was still convincing so I didn't need to add more (even though I didn't want to, I had to because I don't want anyone to see me)
I turned around and saw Bella was still sleeping and snoring soflty.
"What about her?" I said nodding my head to the sleeping beauty in the back.
"Just leave her, she can sleep for days until she needs to go to the bathroom or hungry. And she probably going to wake up at four and it's one now so lots of time," Xavier said. "I am hungry now that I think of it," I thought and right on time, my stomach decided to join the party and have its two cent rumble.
"You are gonna get food just now," I said patting my stomach and Xavier chuckled lightly.
"Let's go," Xavier said getting out the car. I got out the car and took a selfie with the restaurant as the background, but apparently I was taking to long so Xavier took my hand and dragged me to the entrance, where we met a waitress who said," Welcome Mr. Russo and mam, would you like a table?"
Just to let you know wasn't going to make a comment because she was nice to me. So moral of the story is don't get on my bad side. Xavier just squeezed my hand to tell me to be nice, he thought I was going to be mean, ha, I'm only mean to mean people so you could say I'm karma's best friend.
"Carol, can you please get me a table for two?" Xavier said.
"Yes sir, follow me right this way," Carol said.
"Thank you Carol," Xavier said following Carol and me right next to Xavier.
"Do you know her?" I asked Xavier.
"Yes, she works for me," Xavier said, while I stared at him confused.
"Liz, I own this restaurant," Xavier said in a duh tone.
"Well, that explains the weird looks I'm getting from the people, but now seeing the decor, I feel underdressed."
"Liz, you aren't underdressed because I wear the same stuff here, well not the exact same because yours are feminine and my clothes are masculine," Xavier said.
"Xavier, did you just read my mind?"
"You are thinking out loud, again," Xavier said, chuckling.
"Hey, that was only a one time thing, well actually two time thing, okay, I think out loud, I admit," I said when I finished we're at our table.
"Can I take your drink orders?" Carol asked.
"Yes Carol, lime milkshake for me and Liz? What do you want to drink?" Xavier said.
"A bubblegum milkshake, please," I said smiling at Carol.
"Why do you own the restaurant, like is it a family business or something?" I asked.
"I used to work at a restaurant, then I started with a small cafe then it got larger. Why do you sing and act?" Xavier replied.
"I love singing and acting but it started when I was doing a school play, then I went to the drama club in my last years of high school before being homeschooled and started acting and singing," I said.
"And the languages, self taught or tutor or online?" Xavier asked.
"Self taught and online," I answered.
Soon it was half past three and Xavier paid the bill even though I begged to pay the bill (literally) but I lost that one, I even tried the pout and puppy eyes, Xavier is a tough cookie, and we made our way to the car.
Bella woke up as soon as we jumped in, Xavier in the drivers seat and I'm in the passenger seat (we swapped) and Bella in the back eating her pasta (from the restaurant).
The conservation flowed freely, we were traveling to the next petrol station.
