Chapter 3- Double Trouble
Emma's POV
The Nando's restaurant smelled like chicken and really strong spices. It had a casual setting, and a big neon red-black rooster.
"Welcome to Nando's." The waitress said. She brought us to a table set for two, gave us menus and said. "Should I start you off with drinks?" I looked at Brooklyn, giving her first go.
"Water please." She said.
"Make that two." I said, giving a peace sign to the waitress.
"I'll be back with your drinks!" She said with a smile, admiring our manners. We sat down for a while waiting, and then she blurted out.
"What should we eat?" Brooklyn said. I set my eyes over at the all-you-can-eat buffet, where people were waiting in line to get the good stuff.
"What about over there?" I said. Brooklyn looked over and agreed. The waitress came back with our waters and set them on the table. Then she asked.
"Have you decided on what you would like?" She said.
"Yes, can we go and serve ourselves at the all-you-can-eat buffet over there?" I said.
"Of course." She responded. It came with a price of course. Me and Brooklyn walked up and I served myself. I was putting things on my plate I didn't know of, but it looked good. Brooklyn was choosing different things than me. We may be twins, we when it comes to food, you might as well call us sisters. We walked back and sat down. I unfolded my napkin and took my fork and knife, and started eating.
"How is it?" Brooklyn asked.
"Pretty good for a first time here." I said. I didn't touch what was listed as an espetada. Chicken liver. On a skewer with vegetables. Me and Brooklyn loved the peri peri chicken, it was really spicy though. We waited a little while, our stomachs full of chicken, as a boy stuffing his plate at the buffet caught my eye. He looked perfect for Brooklyn. I tapped on her shoulder.
"Hey Brooklyn, look at that guy over there." I said. She looked over.
"You mean the guy stuffing his plate at the buffet?" She said, confused. "Am I supposed to laugh?"
"No, he looks good for you. You should go talk to him while he's still there."
"I hardly even know him!"
"I'll come with you." It made her feel a little better.
"Besides, we look alike. And all the guys fall for you."
"That's not true!" We stood up to settle things for good. We had our plates there and moved down to where he was. He stopped for a minute stuffing his plate, probably to let me. I nudged Brooklyn's arm.
Brooklyn's POV
I felt so embarrassed that Emma brought me over there. She nudged my arm to get some words out of my mouth. I felt bad for the boy there. He was stuffing his plate then stopped because of Emma's beautiful face.
"Hi." I said. Emma looked at my as if she was saying: 'That's all you got!'
"Hi." He responded.
"What's your name?"
"Niall, and you?"
"Brooklyn, and this is Emma. We're twins."
"I noticed that." He said. I moved over to him, kinds pushing Emma away, she didn't care. "But just between you and me, you're the prettiest out of you two." I blushed and smiled.
"Are you here alone?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I come here all the time. My friends are too busy with their girlfriends. This is my favourite place to eat."
"Well, this is my first time here. I just moved with my sister."
"Nice," he said. "Have you explored London?"
"Yeah, it's really nice." I smiled. I looked over and Emma is signing me to tell him about the party. "So, me and my sister are having our 19th birthday party, and I was wondering if you'd like to come?" I said, I thought he'd say no.
"Sure, sounds like fun!" He said happily. "I'll only go if I get your number in return." He said. He was playing hard to get. I liked that. I took a napkin and a pen and wrote down my number.
"Here." I said, giving him the napkin.
"I'll text you." He said.
"Well, sorry to disturb you, you should go and eat before all that food gets cold."
"It's fine." He smiled.
"See you there?"
"See you there." He said. He grabbed his plate and walked away. I did the same. Emma was almost about to blow off the roof with almost letting out a big scream. I shut her mouth and led her to the bathroom.
"Oh, my gosh!!!! You asked him out!!! Did u ask him out? I saw you writing down your number. 1-800-4-" I shut her mouth again.
"I just invited him to our party, that's all.. Calm down...." I said.
"Okay... Sorry.." She said taking deep breaths. She finally calmed down, I don't even know why, I like the guy, and we walked out the bathroom. The waitress gave us our receipt, along with a wrapped Polo, and Emma paid. We thanked her, put on our matching jackets, and walked out the door. Emma started the car and we were off. I didn't know if I'd see Niall ever again, he was really sweet, and really into me. I was really into him. The first thing they made me think happy since we left. I could tell him everything.
