kids at the McDonald's PlayPlace |
] |
"Quarter Pounder, Large Fries and Large Coke, please.", I told the cashier. Woohoo! It feels good to be somewhere I belong.
We are currently at McDonald's, as I told Yuki how hungry I was (the steak wasn't enough. Good heavens, it was just a tiny piece of steak and I paid my months paycheck for the whole meal --plus the damages--!!!)
He's sitting there, on a table for two near the...WAITAMINUTE!!! SUGOI!!! THAT'S A PLAY PEN!!! I haven't been in one for years!
I paid the cashier and balanced my tray as I sat beside Yuki. I offered him fries but he only glared at me before extracting a cigarette from his pocket. "Yuki, you can't smoke here!" I reminded him and took the stick fom his lips and stuck a fry instead.
He gave me a death glare. I ignored this and happily chomped on my meal. Now this is what I call food. I grimaced as I remembered what happened at the restaurant (though the incident at the bathroom still makes me blush).
After 5 minutes flat, I was done with my food and Yuki was looking at me like I grew another head or something. "What?" I asked, "I was hungry, okay?" And then I turned my head to the sound of laughter beside us. Of course, the play pen.
I sighed wistfully as I watched the kids play. Then with a parting grin to Yuki, I went in the pen. Yuki quickly covered his face with his hands and proceeded to bump his head on the table. He must have been doing this for almost a minute before turning to glare at the little girl tugging on his shirt. I watched this for a while with no small amount of amusement. The little girl must have been about three, with ash blond hair and blue eyes. She looked like Yuki's daughter from afar.
Yuki blinked. And then turned to look at me, obviously confused. I shrugged and continued to watch. He stood up to shake the girl's hand off but this only resulted to the girl hugging his leg in return.
"Daddy!" she cried.
Yuki looked scared. Really scared. Or just plain confused, I'm not sure. But I decided to take pity on him and crouched on my knees to face the little girl.
"Hey there, cutie. Are you lost?" I asked.
She looked at me and then shook her head. "No! Daddy, here!" She said and pointed at Yuki. I laughed aloud at this and attracted the attention of the two women sitting on the farthest table. The blonde woman, obviously the girl's mother, quickly stood up and ran to our side, apologizing profusely as she pried the girl away from Yuki's leg.
"Lena, didn't we tell you stay in the play pen? Oh, I'm so sorry for the trouble my daughter has caused." She said.
"It's quite okay, Ma'am." Yuki answered. Obviously he has recovered from the shock.
"Thank you. And sorry again!" The woman exclaimed before chasing her daughter who had gone up the stairs.
"Yuki, are you alright?" I asked, just to be sure.
"Yes, I'm fine. Are you quite done yet?"
"Hai."
"Let's go then."
"Yuki?"
"What?"
"I want a baby."
