“Great,” Jose said as he handed the dessert menu to Abby.
Jose was working hard for his tip. This was at the expense of my bank balance. I was beginning to regret this outing. I should have just stayed home. I didn’t have enough gas to last me all week.
Who was going to lend me money to take care of myself till my next check?
Abby picked cheesecake on the menu,the other girls picked what they liked on the menu.
I declined.
“Are you sure you are okay?” Chichi asked. The other girls stared at me waiting for a response
“Yes, I am fine,” I replied.
“She has been awfully quiet,” Sandra said.
“And now she has declined dessert,” Abby quipped.
If there was a good reason to punch Abby, this was it.
Her snide comments. I wasn’t finding them funny.
“I don’t have a sweet tooth,” I found myself saying.
