"I know this one!" Cyrus was in a whispered shout as he looked to Roman who was waiting for Cyrus to tell him the answer.
Of course, Cyrus was a nervous wreck. He would have never come if it hadn't been for Pixie. After all, he did enjoy seeing her every evening. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have hung around the pizzeria. Sure, he did a little here and there, like sweeping and cleaning pizza pans. Sometimes, he watched the dough whirl, but could never figure out when it was actually ready.
Beyond reasoning, he'd fallen for that perky face of her. Maybe it was the startling eyes. He didn't know, but she was exciting to be around. She made everything fun.
"What is it?" Roman wanted to know.
"Watership Down." Cyrus was sure of it. After all, he loved that novel. He'd read it five times in one year.
Roman nodded. About then Pixie touched Cyrus' shoulder and drew near just to belch on him. Naturally, he was uneasy as he gasped, but he endured it. It was Pixie after all.
"Oh God, don't you get sick on us!" Roman jumped up just as she turned to vomit all over his crouch. Roman grimaced in a tizzy dance,
It was a pitiful sight. She leaned on Roman as if she'd been his all along.
Suddenly, Cyrus didn't know what to think. He snatched the paper from the bar counter. He'd answer these questions all on his own. After all, he couldn't look at Pixie. It was like looking at sadness. Even worse. Cyrus swelled his mouth shut as he waited for the next question.
"Look-" Roman's grimace was pure disgust as he practically choked.
"Go. Just go." Cyrus ordered. He'd manage to win this for the team. After all, the questions were so easy. It was the least he could do for Pixie. It was her idea. No way would he help Roman get her out of the bar.
Roman nodded and did his best to lift her over his shoulder before she threw up again.
Hope Pixie is ok.
ReplyDeleteOh, pobre Pixie espero que mejore ♥
ReplyDeleteEsperó que Pixie mejore y que no la saquen del bar. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteRichard Adams's "Watership down" novel is very famous and it is very popular here (i mean it is best seller). 5 times reading a year (woow)! So good for him.
ReplyDeleteI hope she gets better

God bless you ��
ReplyDeleteHilarious story!
ReplyDeletePixi 💔
ReplyDeleteGood thing Roman did not leave her alone in this difficult situation
ReplyDeletePoor Pixie. I hope Roman can help her. I also hope Cyrus can sort out feelings towards Pixie.
ReplyDeleteFinger crossed :-)
ReplyDeleteOh no! Poor Cyrus. I'd hate for him to get his heart broken by Pixie. But I do love that he really does know how to answers all those quiz questions.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed my Worn Stories review. I liked reading about your own sartorial memories too. That's so awful that that boy spilled a Coke on your white dress. And your brother's experiences were interesting, too. It's a shame that he was no longer able to enjoy his favorite plaid pants once he learned they used to be your dad's shirts. Also, the part about the bra. Comfort (and support!) comes in all forms. :)
Aww! Poor girl!
ReplyDeleteI remember once a friend spit up a small amount of vomit and caught it in her hand but she was pretty drunk, just not all there and it was obvious. 🤮
