“I really like her,” he said followed by a swift bite into his first curry puff. There were only two.
“And you should. She’s really great. Don’t fuck it up.”
He nodded his head in agreement and finished his first puff.
“I’ll try not to.”
I sipped a spoonful of soup. Tom Yum. The right amount of sour, I stirred around looking for a piece of chicken.
He took a bite of his second puff. And then, a revelation.
“I have a crush on the girl that I’m dating.”
We both stopped eating, for only a second, and smiled.
“Yeah…”
He finished his second puff. I enjoyed my soup. There was more chicken in the bowl than I thought there would be.
We devoured our entrees shortly after they were placed on our table. Still hungry we ordered a post main course appetizer. Spring rolls, two apiece. We should have ordered more.
