  "Woah. Tonight, was amazing. That restaurant was.....Great. Thanks for sharing it with me." I smiled as Seth expressed how great tonight had been. I couldn't agree more. Even though it took us an hour before we got our food we danced to Latino Music and even did the tango and salsa. Let's just say his feet weren't as fast as his tongue when it came to Spanish.

"You're welcome. Would you like to come to my place and we watch a movie?" It was still pretty early to go home on a Friday night and I needed the company.

"Sure."

.....

An hour later.

I laughed and shake my head at Seth, "I can't believe you burnt the popcorn."

  "I didn't. The microwave did." He defended.

  "You're the one who put it on seven minutes when the bag clearly stated three." I bent my head and looked at the burnt popcorns. I'm not eating those.

  "Sometimes three minutes isn't enough."

  "And seven is just too much."

  He shrugged, "We'll just eat somethings else."

  "I have no nachos or cheese or anything else that's movie food." I didn't take it as a habit to keep junk food in my apartment because I loved it too much and if my parents came over and saw it, they would flip.

  To them, I was already single, so being Single and eating junk is a double unhealthy lifestyle to them.

 "Then we'll go to the dollar store, it's like two minutes away. We can walk."

  I frown not really liking the idea. Seth came over to where I was standing and grab my shoulders shaking me.

  "We're walking to the dollar store. It will be fun. Walking is fun." As he spoke his big grin just wouldn't go when automatically made me start smiling too.

 "Okay. I'll come but you're paying cause you burnt the popcorns."

  "Fair enough." He took the bowl of burnt popcorn from my hands and throw it in the bin.

  He walked over back to me with the biggest smile, "C'mon, Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door then take my keys off the rock.

  He opened the door and pushed me through it then he uses the key to close it. "This is gonna be fun."

I laughed at his enthusiasm. "When was the last time you went to Dollar Store?"

 "When I was around 15." He said in a low tone.

  I laughed understanding his sudden excitement. Which kid doesn't love the dollar store? When I got my first pay at thirteen, I went straight to the dollar and boy did I spend.

  Dollar Store is the place you go to get a discount on chocolate and candy when your parents didn't want to give you a lot of money.

 "I used to love the dollar store." He expresses as he presses the elevator button.

 I nod agreeing. "Me too. I bought my first eyephones there for only $2 and it lasted me for six months. Now, these days if I buy an earphone for $50 it lasts me for one week. I really need to start going back to the dollar store."

 "Well, we're heading there now." The elevator door opened and four other persons were already inside, including Woody. I offered a smile to everyone then enter, Seth close behind me. When he was in the elevator shut and everyone was silent as the elevator moved down. Not even Woody spoke, I guess he was still mad about our last conversation. But how the hell was I supposed to know that he had a daughter?
