I pulled my cellphone out of my pocket and checked the time.
6:45pm. Fuck. Yes.
I quickly left work, excited that I finally had a weekend off. I had some awesome plans, which included, but were not limited to:
Absolutely fucking nothing.
As I pulled out of the parking lot, I drove to my 1-bed apartment and thought about what I wanted to eat. Mexican sounded good. Pizza sounded good. McDonalds didn't sound good. I had a tough decision on my hands. I pulled into a local Mexican restaurant's drive-thru menu-speaking machine, whatever they were called.
"Hello, how can I help you tonight?"
"Carne asada fries, large jamaica, lots of salsa," I ordered. She didn't sound hot. I didn't look hot in my Best Buy uniform.
She said the amount and I slowly drove up to the next window and waited. The girl that pulled the window open and repeated my amount sounded different than the one who took my order. I figured I would ask about it.
"Hey," I said as I handed her a twenty, "you didn't take my order, right?"
"Nah," she said in a rather 'let's not make a conversation out of this' voice.
"Thought so," I replied, drumming my thumbs on the wheel as I waited for my change. There were a few honies inside that I could see. I wondered if I should've gone inside, instead. But, then I remembered what I was wearing.
"Your change?" the girl said, obviously not pleased that I had started day-dreaming about fucking her customers (well, she didn't know that part).
"Oops! My bad!" I exclaimed, reaching out to take my change. She handed it to me, then grabbed a bag with my dinner. I took that, too, and set it in the passenger's seat. When I turned back, she was handing me my drink. "Thanks, have a good night."
"You, too," she replied, then shut the window. She wasn't that bad. I would've smashed. With a shrug, I drove off and went home. I lived nearby, but the traffic was so bad, I'm sure I could've made it there sooner if I had moonwalked home.
I parked the car into the designated spot, grabbed my bachelor dinner and got out. Locking the car behind me, I slowly strode to my apartment. I lived in a rather quiet neighborhood and I enjoyed it. Didn't have to worry too much about people being super loud. Not that I didn't mind going to parties and having a fun time as a bachelor, don't get me wrong. I just don't want that shit 'round my parts. I prefer pissing off my friends' neighbors, not mine. Mine would probably scheme to get me kicked the fuck out. And screw that, I got it good here.
I opened my door and flicked the lights on, and was greeted by my white and grey cat, Luke 'Danger Zone'. Yes, that was his name. I adopted him from some abusive family a few years back. He loves carne asada.
"LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER!" I exclaimed as I shut the door behind me with my foot.
"Mrow?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Yeah, I got carne," I answered. I set the box down and opened it, scooping some out and putting it aside for him. Lo and behold, Luke jumped down from his perch near the window and onto the small coffee table to begin eating his portion of the carne. For some reason, I noticed the receipt in the bag and took it out. On the back was written:
"Hit me up if you're down to fuck. 619 555 0945"
