Friday, late-night waffles with Steph

"We should come here in the morning sometime," Billy said, taking another bite of waffles and choking it down. Normally late night waffles with Steph were delicious but right now his stomach was so nervous and twisted up he thought he might throw up. Still, he had paid for the waffles and a part of him still refused to pay for food and not eat it.

"See if the waffles are still this good when we don't have to walk through the bad part of town late at night for them."

"And my teenage outburst of angst isn't going to get us banned for life?" he asked. Because now that it was over it seemed really, really stupid and something that could have totally been dealt with by talking calmly and not freaking out. So much for being super mature.

"Uh, pretty sure I was the one who burst into tears," Steph says with an embarrassed little laugh. She hates crying in front of other people and now feels like a big idiot. Too late to fix that now. "Sorry for acting like a crazy person."

"You weren't that crazy," Billy said, unable to hide a grin. They had both been kind of ridiculous but hopefully they were better now. Well, maybe not all the way better but not quite the mess they had been a moment ago.

"And I still really, really want to go on a date with you so neither of us blew it, right?"
