Friends or...?

Chapter six

I looked at the kids, "So same thing as yesterday or do y'all want to try something new?", I asked them hoping they won't get anything sticky again, I do not need a repeat of yesterday to happen again.

"Umm..", Vaya says putting her small pointer finger to her chin, tilting her head, humming in thought, "Mama can i have some pancakes, but wift no syrup. It's nasty." She adds with a look of disgust on her face.

I laugh quietly and nod my head, looking to Leo who was staring at table on side of us. Must be someone he thinks he recognize.. again I think to myself, "Alright Leo what do you want for breakfast?", I asked waving my hand in front of his face, breaking his concentration from the table over.

"Huh?", He asked confused

"I asked what do you want for breakfast?" I asked amusement playing into my voice.

He looked up at me and said in and excited tone, "Pancakes, with LOTS of syrup!", why? I think, my face must of read what I was thinking because she quickly added "Vaya always says she doesn't want syrup when we come here but she always ask you for some after she gets her food. So if she does that I can just give her some of mine AND its super good." He said exaggerating 'always' and speaking with large hand motions

"Alright. Y'all wanna come with or do y'all wanna stay?" I asked, grabbing my purse, already knowing the answer

"Come!" They both shouted in unison

I chucked "Alright. Come on" I said holding my hands out. They grabbed my hands and we walked to the front counter. Once we was in line I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, it can wait till we get back to the table I think in my head.

"Mommy someone is texting you" Leo said letting go of my hand and reaching to grab my phone out of my pocket

"It can wait Leo, come on" I said ushering him forward when the line moved up

"Mommy are we staying wift Ms Macy or are we coming wift you on stage to sing?" Vaya said looking at me with puppy eyes that would get anything she wanted. Right now she was winning

"How about..." I say dragging it out to bulid suspense "Yall stay with Ms Macy for the first half hour then, come up stage with me for.. say 20 minutes then so back with Ms Macy till it over. That way you both can get everything all nice and pretty for the sleep over tonight. Whatcha say? Deal?" I asked looking down at them both

"YES!" they screamed jumping up and down excitedly

"Shush now. Its a surprise so you cant ruin it." I say sturn but my smile and small chuckle calls my bluff

"Okay. You gotta mama we wont tell anyone" Leo whispers loudly

"Okay. Now that thats settled lets get yall some breakfast." I said when it was our turn to go up

"Hi. What can I get you?" a young woman, no more that 17, with long black hair down, and whiskey brown eyes asked smiling down at the twins

"Can I get 2 orders of pancakes, one with no syrup, and the other with extra syrup, both with a chocolate milk. Also if you dont mind, can I get a small caramel frappe with no whipped cream?" I stated smiling at her from across the counter

"Of course. Will that be all?" She asked typing it into the computer

"Um.." I paused for a moment, looking at the menu, thinking about it "Can I get a biscuit with nothing on it?" I asked, "Just plain" I specified

"Yep" she replied typing the order into the computer, "Will that be all?" She asked once more

"Yes ma'am" I said smiling at her "Thank you" I appreciated

"You're very welcome" she said handing me my receipt and order number "At the bottom on the receipt there are directions on how to access this months survey, we would love to hear your feedback." She added while I was taking the receipt

"Okay. Thank you, have a good day." I told her grabbing the kids hands and walking out of the line so others can go up. Once we got to the other end of the counter to wait on the food, I took out my phone to see why it was buzzing in my pocket. Opening it up I saw that I had a twitter notification, I debated on whether or not i should answer it. Finally I opened the app to see the I had a dm. I had gotten many, sometimes I answer them when I have time. Seeing that they are still working on getting the food ready and the kids are talking about what they are going to be doing once on stage, i open it.

The profile doesn't have a picture and the username is coral101 It doesn't take long to figure out who it was judging by the message only one person still calls me that but I decided to play along..

Coral101: Hey angel.

elizasmith: Hello. To whom do I owe the pleasure?

Coral101: Wow. You answered. Didn't think you would.

elizasmith: Why wouldn't I? Someone text you reply isn't that how it works? Or am I wrong?

As soon as I pressed send our orders were done. I took the trays, the kids went first and together we walked back to the table. I passed the food out and we ate.
