"It sounds like we both need a night on the town� to get away from it all,"
she said as her face brightened slightly at the prospect.
"You're on," he answered. The thought of seeing more of Audra was very
appealing to him as well.� Fun..... what a concept.
"Where did you have in mind?"
Audra smiled. "I have always wanted to visit Bourbon Street in New
Orleans."
"That sounds great. I've always wanted to go, just never found the time.
This lunch is getting better and better," Joe replied. Inwardly he was
thinking, 'I'll bring the bead necklaces...'
He was right.�� This lunch was getting better and better.�� Audra face
brightened with a devilish grin.�� "I always thought you were supposed to
earn your
beads."
He gave *them* a glance before he answered with a smile, "Trust me pretty
lady, you've earned them."
Audra felt her face warmed as she blushed. Her coyness had blown up a bit
in her face. Although, it was nice to get the compliment.
Just then the waitress walked up. She had big, artficially pale blond hair
that seemed to defy gravity. She was also chewing gum and, for some reason,
the eraser on an old fashioned pencil.�"Were you kids all set to order?"
"Ladies first."
"Thank you," she replied. "I would like a grilled chicken salad, cajun
style and another green tea, please."
The waitress, whose nametag revealed her as Bessie nodded. "I think we can
handle that, Missy. Was there a certain type of dressing you would like?"
"Oil and vinegar would be nice, if you have it." Audra always preferred her
oil and vinegar to be fresh rather than replicated. Somehow, replicated
olive oil always seemed to come out like maple syrup in consistency. "We get
it
straight from Greece," replied the waitress with a smile. "Would there be
anything else."
Audra shook her head.
Bessie than turned her attention to Joe. "And what can I get for you?"
"What's the special, ma'am?"
"Well, Tex, has prepared a nice shepherd's pie, but you might want to stay
away from that. We also have a nice Texas sized burger with all the fixing
that would probably be a bit safer." Bessie blinked and it was clear that she
was pulling his leg. There was nothing dangerous about the pie, though, it
wasn't the tastiest.
"I'll go with the burger, and another iced tea to drink. Can I get bacon on
that burger?"
