It's three in the morning and we're at Waffle House drunkenly looking at our menus. The waitress walks over, "Whatchu want to drink?". I look up and she was about 35, dark brown hair,bright blue eyeshadow and bright pink lipstick.
I order a water with lemon and my buddy orders a coke. We wait for her to return while we stare blankly at the menus trying to decide what we even want to put into our drunk bodies. The lady comes back and sets our drinks on the table.
"You ready now?" she says looking out through the window to the parking lot. I look to see what she's watching and there's some guys arguing in a parked truck.
Cian speaks, " Can I get three pancakes with scrambled egg? Oh, and some grits." She scribbles it down and looks at me.
"I'll have eggs scrambled with a waffle and some hashbrowns, please.", I said. She writes it down and repeats it to us. We shake our heads and mumble a 'mhm' and hand over the menus.
"Did you see how she watched those guys? That was weird.", Cian said as he took a swig of his coke.
"Yeah, it was, but she probably was just thinking about how they're drunk and coming in this late."
Suddenly, a group of people wearing power rangers costumes came in and sat down in a booth. They looked at the menus while they waited for the waitress to show up. Crazy things happen at Waffle House.
"Did you get those girls numbers?" I asked Cian. He was slumped down with his baseball cap pulled over his face.He barely shifted it to reply, "Yeah, but I don't think the redhead was that cute. She kind of had a unibrow going. I call dibs on her friend."
"No, man. You said you wanted the redhead earlier. You can't just call dibs."
"Fuck. Do you smell that bacon? Hey, ma'am? Ma'am!"
He was waving like a madman until she noticed. She continued to stare outside at the truck as she listened to him asking for two orders of bacon. She walked over to the only cook and told him to fry up some more bacon. She brought over two plates to our table and set them both by Cian. She looked down to me and said, "Your order will be out soon. He had to make more batter." I nodded and got up to go to the bathroom as Cian pigged out with his food in front of him.
I opened up a stall since there wasn't a working urinal and began to piss like a horse. I had so much to drink tonight that it was finally coming out of me. I washed my hands and walked back to the table where there was now my food with a plate of Cians bacon. Fatass.
I took a piece of bacon from his plate and I swear I heard him growl. I started to eat my plate when the two guys who had been arguing in the parking lot came inside. Cian and I both stopped eating to watch them while they sat down at the counter. The waitress watched them as they sat down. All the color from her face, except her bright blue eyeshadow, seemed to vanish. She walked over to them and whispered something to one of them. He happened to be extremely tall with shaggy hair. He looked back at her with raw emotion then to the man next to him. That's when his friend grabbed her and began to drag her out of the restaurant. The people dressed up as power rangers began to try and help as the cook ducked down under the counter. The man carrying our waitress shoved past the power rangers while the shaggy haired guy threw them across the space. Cian and I just shrunk down our seats as he looked at us and walked out.
The three of them sped off in the truck. The guys in their power rangers costumes attempted to stand up. The cook crawled out from the counter and lit a cigarette.
"What the fuck just happened?", I asked to no one in particular.
Cian looked like a ghost.
"What should we do?! We need to call the cops.", Cian stammered.
"Dude, I wouldn't. Did you see those guys?" He shook his head yes and just stared at his food.
I looked back down at my plate and became pissed. I looked towards the cook, "Hey, dude, what the fuck?", showing him my plate, "Can I get a waffle? One that's not crusty?" He looked at me like I was crazy as well as Cian looking at me horrified. I began to eat my food in peace.
