"Why're you looking at him like that?" Grey questions gruffly, his eyes unhappy for some reason.
"Did you see his shirt?" I bite my lip, keeping a laugh in, "It's funny."
He just lets out a grunt, his hands fidgeting. I take off the hair tie around my wrist and I hand it to him since he fusses with it whenever his hands do that.
He looks up at me with a cute confuzzled face.
"You mess with this when your hands do that," I tell him and his lips pull up at the edges. He almost smiles as he takes it, now messing with it.
I watch him, a small smile on my face as he peers down at the hair tie in his hands, twisting it in different ways, stretching it out into squares and triangles.
The waiter comes back shortly, sitting our drinks down on the table and taking out his notepad for our orders.
"How big are the small pizzas?" I question and the waiter whose nametag reads 'John' looks over at me.
He gives a shrug.
"I'll have one of those with just cheese," he writes that down before turning to Grey who still fidgets with my hair tie.
"He'll have the steak and cheese, with everything on it," I say for him and the waiter turns back to me, writing it down.
"I like your shi-" he begins walking away. Not before Grey grabs the back of his shirt, pulling him back.
I would have most definitely pooped my pants if I was the waiter.
"She was talking to you," he almost growls out as the now frightened waiter looks back at me.
"I like your shirt," I smile a little apologetic smile for Grey's actions.
"Thank you," he waits for a second this time before leaving.

I dip the sixth and final piece of my pizza in ranch before taking a bite of it like it's still the first piece.
Grey finished a while ago. I look up at him. His chin sits on his hand, his eyes fixed on me. I blush a little bit.
"Did you want a bite?" I question, feeling a little bit bad about eating a whole pizza by myself. A little smirk takes over his lips.
"I'm good, Lilah."
You're alsofine. Stop.
I finish the whole slice, then finish the rest of the little bit of my tea. Grey slides me the rest of his tea and I drink that too.
I've got a big appetite today and I'm fully embracing it. I'm fully embracing this food baby too. At least my dress isn't tight or anything.
It's a girl and her name is Tubs.
I lean back in the booth and let out a sigh. The waiter guy comes back with the check and a pizza box for the pizza I guess he thought I wasn't going to eat.
His eyes widen once he sees the empty pizza trey. Grey's eyes narrow at the action. I was hungry, okay?
I pick up my phone to get the money out of the back of the case but before I freaking can, Grey hands over his card.
"I thought we were paying separately or something," I say as the waiter walks away and Grey just looks at me as if what I just said was a stupid idea.
"Well, thank you," I smile at him and he just nods, his fingers messing with my hair tie again.
