Breakfast With Jay

I awoke on a couch. Jay, Dan, Anthony and Julie were there. It was supposed to be Julie and Dan's place. We had all stayed the night because Julie was sick or something. It was about 7 am when Dan and Anthony decided to take Julie to the hospital, so Jay and I headed home to change for work.

We headed down Water Street, and discovered a new restaurant had opened. It was small, with an open air concept. The front was glassed in for the winter, so we went in to have a quick breakfast. Jay had coffee and a muffin, and had his nose buried in his laptop. I couldn't figure out what I wanted.

"Jay, in about 5 minutes, order me the Fantastic Fruit with the strawberry sherbet," I told him.

"Why?"

"I'm going to run home and change. By the time the fruit is cut and ready, I should be back." I glanced at the clock. It was 10 after 8. If I took ten minutes, I figured I'd have 10 minutes to eat before we had to catch the bus.

Unfortunately, it didn't work that way. The waitress came over, so I told her I what I wanted.

"You can't get the sherbet with that," she told me.

"What can I get with the sherbet?"

I never did find out. That's when my alarm went off.
