Chapter 20

"There's a fantastic Italian restaurant near Jitters, we can go there," said Barry, smiling.


I got dressed and went to the restaurant. We sat at a table waiting for someone to serve us but heard a voice that I soon recognized who it was.


- Hey, I understand if you want to leave. We are not obliged to stay here, "she said, but he continued to look at Iris's table that was accompanied by the lord of London." Or we can stay here, enjoy the lunch and the food you say is delicious and pretend that They aren't even here.


- I like the second option - said Barry turning to me and smiled - What are you going to ask?


"I don't know, how about you surprise me?"


"Good morning, are you ready to order?" Said a young girl who came to our table with a sticky note.


- Yes, we wanted to start two Bruschetta dishes, for appetizers and for lunch we wanted Spaghetti Carbonara for the girl and for me I wanted Risotto with Shrimp. To drink we wanted two coke.


Bruschetta was an appetizer that consisted of toast, garlic, pepper, olive oil and salt. But there are many variations on top of it, the best known one takes tomatoes and basil.



Spaghetti Carbonara:



Risotto with Shrimp:



- Very well, soon we will serve the appetizers - said the girl and left to give the orders to the cooks.


Five minutes later our drinks and our starters arrived and they looked delicious. I took a bruschetta and put it in my mouth.


"So?" Barry asked, smiling.


- What a surprise to see you here.- said Iris that after going to the bathroom passed by our table.


"Let's not start arguing, will we?" Not the place for it.


- I had no intention of that ... Just wanted to greet you, nothing more.- Said returning to his table.


"Here's your food, good appetite," said the girl and set our plates on the table.


- It looks delicious.- Said looking at my plate and Barry's.


"Yes, I always ordered this when I came here with my mother while she ordered what I asked of you," Barry said smiling and "attacked" our lunch.


Ten minutes later we had our plates empty and had ordered dessert, which was two ice cream cups, mine was a bowl with strawberry, mint, vanilla and chocolate ice cream balls and Barry's had chocolate, strawberry and ice cream. vanilla.


Mine:

POV Barry:


Lunch with Caitlin was very pleasant, except when I looked around I just saw her with her colorful friend from London. I no longer remembered the last time I came here, because I came here often with my mother, before she passed away and only came here with Iris once or twice and at that time we weren't even dating.


We just ate the desserts and went to pay, she well insisted on paying everything but I said I would stay for the next time we went to have lunch or dinner out and she accepted.


As we still had time before leaving Wells's house, we went for a walk around the park that was on the edge of the Jitters. The landscape of the park was beautiful, so the little stream that existed was phenomenal, but my favorite part of the park was just the part behind the swings, it had a path full of different flowers and trees.


We were there for about an hour or an hour and a half and then we went home to change our clothes and take a shower, since the weather was hot today. The apartment was not very big and so there was only one bathroom so we had to go instead. Caitlin insisted that I go first and so did I.


For me the water was therapeutic, I could think very well when I was near it, so when I am sad I like to run to the beach, because I can smell the waves crashing in the sand.


"Cait, it's your turn," he said, shouting to let her know she was out of the shower, and when she heard me, she came out of her room wearing only a robe that wasn't nearly that long.


I couldn't help but stare at her even after she closed the bathroom door, and I wanted to get in the shower with her, but I had to restrain myself because my friends have no such thoughts about each other.


I went to my room and opened the closet, pulled out a shirt and jeans, and then went to the lobby looking for some sneakers to complete my look.


When I left the room Caitlin was not ready yet, so I sat on the couch and turned on the television to see what I was giving. She was giving a series called Imposters, which talked about a couple where the girl was one with an artist and married people to steal their money from them.


- I think I'm ready, we can go - Caitlin said leaving her room, the dress was simple, but she was all very well.


"You look beautiful, Cait," he said, and she bowed her head in embarrassment but thanked her with a smile.


Caitlin Dress:



As we still had time until it was time to go home to Dr. Wells, we drove by but with my insistence the driver was me. She used the argument that the car was hers, but with a little 'fight' she let me drive her precious car there.


I turned on the radio and at the station I was on I was giving Summer Loving and I remembered the night I spent with Caitlin in a bar. We were waiting for a life-giving goal and Caitlin got drunk and as it was karaoke night, she dragged herself on the stage with her and we sang this song.


"Do you remember this song?" I asked, but she immediately made a lovely face and I knew she remembered.


"Of course I remember ... It was the night I had the most fun after what happened to Ronnie, even though I ended up drunk on a stage."


- Yeah, I loved the night there too ... Although we were at work, it was nice the time we spent together.- said looking at her for a thousandth of a second and then turn my eyes again to the road.
