Page 7 has arrived at last. Get your shoes on and get ready! What do shoes have to do with the book? Absolutely nothing!
“C’mon!” she said running to the stairs once again. Alex followed trying to keep up by sliding down the spiraling railing of the staircase.
“So what should we eat?” Amy asked almost jumping with new energy.
“Umm… how about your famous Italian pepperonia pizza followed by some pocky?” Alex said grinning.
“Sounds good!” she said agreeing with the decision. While the pizza was in the oven being baked and heated Amy poured up some Dr. Pepper into two large glasses only used for special occasions and Alex took a seat.
The pizza still had some time on it so Amy ran up to her room quickly and picked up a box off of her dresser and brought it down. She sat it on the table and went into the kitchen to check up on the pizza.
Alex absolutely loved pocky. It was a Japanese candy similar to an edible stick of chocolate. It came in different flavors, but both Amy and Alex preferred te chocolate flavor over other available flavors.
Alex reached for the box and out of nowhere Amy slapped his hand and giggled. He pulled his hand back and set it in his lap. He looked at her questioningly even though he knew what her reply would be.
“Not until you eat, silly!” Amy said running back into the kitchen after hearing the “ting!” of the oven. The plates were too hot to handle so she went to a drawer and retrieved some oven mittens. As she did so, Alex once more reached for the box longingly, hoping to get at least one piece.
“Stop!” Amy said walking to the oven without even looking. She was almost too good. Alex quickly pulled back his hands retreating from the small box. Amy pulled out the hot, steamy pepperoni pizza slices and brought them to the table setting them on a glass trivet so it wouldn’t burn the table.
Just looking at the pizza slices on his plate made his mouth water. It was then that Alex noticed just how truly hungry he was. She gave him his plate and he inhaled the wonderful aroma. He eagerly began to eat. In between bites they conversed.
“Wow!” Alex said eating, “This is really great!”
“Of course it it. I am me after all,” she smiled.
“You’re lucky, you get to eat this as often as you want!” Alex said almost convincing himself that he was jealous.
“Yep!” she said laughing.
“So, at what time does this event expire?” Alex asked wonderingly.
“Y’know…” there was a pause. “Today.”
“What?! At what time?” he asked suprised.
“Five hours from now.”
“Oh,” Alex said relieved.
It was a little quiet from then on as they ate their pocky. Amy smiled as she looked at Alex take each bite as if it may be his last.
“What car do you want to take?” Alex asked. Amy wasn’t the only rich one. It was just that Alex was rich in a different subject, automotive vehicles. Alex owned four different cars. The first was a 2009 Mustang GT with the GT emblem attached to the back. The second was a Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR which was built in 2003. Alex still bought add-ons for the car such as roof-scoops, spoilers, and side events.
