"Mystical being! Mystical being! Give me back my son," a shrill voice shouted.
Then what was supposed to be the mystical being dressed in a magician attire boomed "not until you fulfill your promise." he gripped the arms of a young boy tightly.
Axel hissed and brought her smoked salmon sandwich to her mouth and took a huge bite.
She was on a date that was set up by her two best friends, Carla and Shiona with whom they deemed the perfect guy.
Truth be told, the guy was 'hawt' but he was also stupid. His idea of a fantastic date was to being her to an old themed restaurant where they act a movie as entertainment for the customers.
Only this movie wasn't a bit entertaining to Axel. It was boring but guess what's interesting?
The food. Yeah, and one of them washer sandwich. At least the restaurant owners were thoughtful enough to add modern and amazing food to their menu.
The eyes of James, her date, had popped out when she started ordering. She had ordered everything that sounded nice on the menu. And she planned to eat them all herself.
He was further shocked when she pulled out her wallet and paid immediately it was delivered. She didn't want him to think she was taking advantage of him. She had her own money and she loves food.
She grabbed her last bottle of coke and drained it, she had stopped listening to the nonsense James was saying when her food came in.
Axel signalled for the blonde waitress to come over so she could get another coke. As the waitress drew near, James banged his hands on the table and stood up. Axel shook her empty bottle at the waitress conveying the message that she needed another.
"That's it!" he yelled attracting other customers even the actors on stage. "I've had enough of this." The poor waitress ran off to get the drink as an excuse to leave the scene.
Axel laughed at his action. "Why are you angry? I warned you on the phone before agreeing to meet up. I'm a girl who loves food and I paid for everything so what exactly is it that you've had enough of?" she raised her eyebrows.
"I don't care about your eating habits. These things," he pointed to the table "has no meaning to me. It's that you stopped listening to me. All your attention was on the food. Dammit!"
Blondie came back and gave Axel her drink. She muttered her thanks and paid.
Then she turned to fuming James and spoke nonchalantly "it's because they are more interesting than you and your talks."
That did it!
James ears turned red in anger and he stomped out.
Axel shrugged. She didn't have a boyfriend but she had food. And she might as well get married to it seeing she was nearing twenty seven.
Just then a dark haired, down-to-earth, drop dead gorgeous guy walked up to her table.
"I appreciate a girl who eats and doesn't try to get the perfect shape by starving. Not that you need that since you already have a nice figure." he drawled and then winked at her.
Music to her ears!
Axel couldn't talk but managed to bat her eyelashes at him in response. He chuckled softly "can I join?"
She bobbled her head up and down, sandwich and all forgotten. He smiled at her once again before taking a seat.
And she thought 'this was her Prince Charming. She had finally found a guy who she would choose over food anyday. The one who made her forget food for the first time ever!'
