The Ringing Bell...8

Eating out…

Both couples entered the café. One of the waiters showed them way to an empty table. It was a circular table for four people.

Frank said,” Have your seats girls. Today is your day. You too buddy.” A waitress approached them with a menu in her hand. “What will you like to have?” she asked the men. Ryan directed her towards girls, “Ask the ladies”. She turned to ask them.

Tina: I would like to have some Chinese food. I will prefer vegetarian noodles.

Bell: I will like to have the menu, please.

The waitress handed her the menu.

Frank: It’s your turn buddy.

Ryan: Whatever she has. I mean whatever Bell orders.

Frank: Same for me. I mean whatever my wife has ordered, vegetarian noodles for me too.

Bell (smiling & talking to waitress): What is the Black Forest Gateau?

Waitress: It’s a gateau made of chocolate & vanilla sponge soaked in Black Forest kirsch, whipped cream, chocolate bits & cherries.

Ryan: My mouth has started to water already.

Bell (smiling): Well then we will have this & also fried bread rolls with cheese.

Waitress: Will you people like to have something to drink?

Tina: For sure, Orange Juice for me & my husband.

Bell: A cup of coffee, sorry, two cups of coffee for us.

Waitress: So, this is your order: 2 full plates’ noodles, 2 Orange Juices, 2 BFGs, 2 Bread Rolls & 2 cups of Coffee.

Frank: Yes madam.

Waitress: I will just return. Till then you can enjoy some magazines that are kept on that corner. Please do return them there when you leave. Thank you.
