Milkshake: Our characters will have to split a milkshake
Drabble List || @hey-bxrtenderDrabble was longer than I thought it’d be ://
“I promise you! I promise you that this is th’ best place ta get milkshakes at! Forget where ever you’re thinkin’ of, this place? Deans Diner? Is th’ best of th’ best! ‘nd m’ not jus’ sayin’ that ‘cause I use ta work here either. S’ th’ truth!” Kazia pushed the older door to the rough looking diner open, and dragged Emma in after her. The building was empty, and the two stood in the door way for a moment, unsure if it was actually open.
At the belated sound of the door ding a middle aged woman came around a corner to greet them and offered them a half smile, “Hey there Kaz. You come back for a job? Or for food?” Kazia grinned back and said, “Hey ya, Mary! M’ here ta prove a point on milkshakes. Y’all still okay with makin’ em this late?” The older woman, Mary, chuckled. “Yeah we’ll make you some. Take a seat anywhere ‘nd I’ll be right up ta take your order.” Mary ducked back around the corner heading into the kitchen.
Kaz hooked her arm around Emma’s and dragged her friend over to the nearest booth. Once the two were seated Kaz handed Emma a dessert menu and tapped the milkshake list. “M’ favorite is a tie between th’ mint chocolate chip one ‘nd th’ double chocolate one, bu’ they do have regular chocolate, vanilla ‘nd strawberry.”
Kazia watched as Emma looked over the list of milkshakes. There were more options than you’d expect at such a place that looked like this, but Kaz and Emma both learned to never judge a book by its cover. Emma set the dessert menu down, smirked at Kaz and tapped an unusual flavor on the list. “I want to try this one. If you say that this place has the best, then we’re just gonna have to see how good their worst is.” “M’ sorry we? If you wanna try that one you c’n try it alone. I wanna have my favorite.” Kaz tapped the mint chip one and Emma dragged the menu out of the blonde’s hands. “Nope! If I dont like it I’m gonna make you drink it.” Kazia rolled her eyes at her friends antics but relented.“I’ve tried all of their milkshakes here, Em. ‘nd I can tell you that they are all amazing. Including that one.”
Kaz crossed her arms and sat back on her side of the booth just as Mary approached their table, “You girls ready?” Emma grinned and said, “Yup. We want this one.” Emma held the menu up for Mary to read. “Just one?” Mary asked. Kazia nodded, “Yeah but only ‘cause Emma here’s afraid she won’t like it even though I told her they’re all amazin’.” Mary laughed as she started to walk back to the kitchen to get their order, “Well Kaz, for the diner’s sake I hope you’re friend ends up liking the shake. We can’t be having word get out that one of our Top Ten Shakes is bad.” “Trust me! I’ll make sure she likes it!” Kaz shouted back.
Mary came back a few minutes later with the shake in hand and a small thing of fries. “One shake ‘nd one small order of fries- on the house.” Kazia thanked Mary and wished her a nice end to her shift before turning to Emma. Kaz slid the shake over to Emma and said, “You ordered. You get first sip.” Emma snorted and pushed the shake into the middle, “How about we try at the same time? This way I can trust that you’re friend Mary didn’t add anything wild to it... well more wild.” Kaz rolled her eyes again, “Fine. Fine. Bu’ m’ tellin’ you. S’ gonna be th’ best damn shake you’ve ever had.”
The opera house was full for the charity concert. All the rich and important people were queueing on the red carpet outside of the building, waiting for the journalists to take their pictures, or giving interviews about the event. Flashes of photo-cameras and voices of the crowd creating disharmonious noise.
It always displeased Amoxtli who every time got a headache in those situations. Fortunately Opera House had a backstage entrance which helped her avoid the general hassle before the concert.
She hoped Emma has gotten there on time and would have no problem of getting inside with the tickets the musician has given her lyrics writer.
With a heavy sigh she grabbed her flute and adjusted the black dress before going out to join the rest of the orchestra. The even would begin soon.
