Lilly parked her car and they all got out.
“Lilly. Where are you planning to take us for lunch?” Kathy asked when she felt that Lilly had already planned something.
“Just follow me and don’t you dare try running away.”
Keith looked at both of them with a weird look on his face. He had no idea what they were talking about.
Lilly held onto Kathy’s hand and tried to not let her go.
“So Keith how’s your business?” Lilly asked, still pulling Kathy along.
He laughed at their actions, “Erm, it’s been great. Plus I’m gonna graduate my degree in architecture soon.”
“Wow that sounds great. When is your graduation?”
“I think it’s around March next year.”
They finally reached the main entrance of Pizza port. Kathy was trying to pull herself away from Lilly but it was too late she had already pulled her into the restaurant and a waiter was there ready to show them their seats. She sighed.
“Here’s your menu, I’ll be back in five minutes to take your orders.” The waiter smile and walked away.
“Why are you acting so strange, Kathy?” Keith finally asked.
“It’s nothing, don’t mind me.” She gave Lilly a look.
“Okay.”
They ordered their food and continued talking.
There was a crowd outside of the restaurant.
“Can I take a picture with you please?” A girl said.
“Can I have your autograph, you totally rock dude.” One of the guy in the crowd said,
“Here, sign my skateboard” he continues.
Ryan had a smile on his face for the whole time; he didn’t mind signing autograph or taking pictures for his fans. He continued taking pictures and signing autographs until the crowd started getting smaller.
He took a deep breath and pushed the door in front of him. He walked into the restaurant. He scanned around the restaurant and finally found what he was looking for or rather who he was looking for.
It was the girl from yesterday, what is her name again, he thought to himself. Just when he was about to walk towards her table, a waitress came to him. “Hello Ryan, let me show you to your table.” The waitress said politely. Ryan just smiled, but in his mind, he was thinking of a way to talk to the girl.
He sat down at his seat and ordered his food. He kept looking at the table where Kathy was seating. “That’s it, her name is Kathy.” He thought to himself. “That’s it, I’m just gonna walk up there and say hi.” He continued thinking to himself.
He never felt like this before, getting nervous, trying to find ways to talk to a girl. He stood up and walked towards her table.
“Hi Kathy, remember me?” he asked
Kathy was caught by surprise. Lilly suddenly paused after talking non-stop. Keith looked at Ryan as if he met him before somewhere but he couldn’t remember. Kathy quickly tugged her hair behind her ears and hoping she didn't look like a mess.
“Oh, Hi Ryan, I’m surprise to see you here.” She quickly responded.
“So you do remember me, I was hoping to see you here.”He replied.
“You are?” Lilly said. “See I knew it was a good idea to come here for lunch.” She said, looking at Keith.
“I was hoping to get your number. I wanted to see if you want to hang out sometime.”Ryan said it almost softly.
Kathy started to blush, but when she was about to say something, Keith interrupted.”I believe we’ve never met before, hi I’m Keith.” He reached out his hand.
“I’m Ryan.” He reached out his hand to shake Keith’s. Ryan started to feel nervous not sure if he had mess up or not.
He though that Keith is Kathy’s boyfriend. Lilly saw the way Ryan looked and quickly told Ryan “Keith is Kathy’s big brother.”
After hearing that he felt relief a bit. “So will you be free to hang out?” he asked again. Kathy was blushing even more, she felt like she couldn’t speak. “Yes, she would be free to hang out with you.” Lilly helped her replied Ryan’s question.
“Cool. Here’s my number.” Ryan gave her a piece of paper which he had already written his number on it earlier. She took it and dialed the number on her phone. After a while, they heard a ringing tone, Ryan took out his iPhone from his pocket, “So it does work.” Kathy said mischievously with a cute smile. Ryan smiled back happily, “so this is your number. I’ll keep this properly and I’ll call you.”
“Nice to meet you Keith and it’s nice to see you again Lilly.” Ryan smiled.
“I’ll call you” He told Kathy. “Okay.” Kathy giggled while she replied.
“Bye guys. And I’ll see you soon Kathy.” He said before leaving their table.
