Reluctantly, the brunette was forced to respond. She needed a clever response that would allow herself to weasel her way out of this uncomfortable position.

“Yeah, I’m sorry I haven’t called Rebecca. It’s just that there has been so much going on in my life lately, that I have been recently experiencing Mental breakdowns.” Well, maybe not so clever, but the girl seemed to buy it.

The perky blonde was in shock. Her lip even quivered for special effect.

“Oh my god! Are you okay?” her voice was now frantic.

For dramatic effect, Ashley began to speak in a hoarse tone.

“I’m fine. It’s just that my doctor recommended that I don’t see anyone for a while.”

“Oh Muffin! Well don’t you worry. You just get better, and I’ll be waiting right here for you. You just call when you are well.”

Unable to hold it in, a loud snort escaped Spencer that she quickly had to cover up with a cough. This sudden action caused Ashley to shoot daggers at the blonde with her eyes. Spencer just gave her a small shrug in response, one that clearly said sorry I couldn’t help it. The brunette then directed her attention back towards Rebecca, searching for anything that would get her to go away.

“Thank you. The doctor said that the best thing for me right now is just to get a lot of sleep and eat well.”

This seemed to snap the waitress back into reality.

“Of course! Right! Let me go get your food. I’ll bring you some extra rolls too. You need to stay healthy Muffin.” Finally, she was gone.

Ashley let out a sigh of relief. Spencer let out a loud burst of barely contained laughter.

The brunette glared at the girl across the table from her. “You could have helped you know.”

Spencer was barely able to respond through laughs.

“I’m….I’m sss….ssorry. I didn’t know…what to do. Sorry I didn’t… help…MUFFIN!” After that last statement, Spencer broke. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her stomach started to hurt as she laughed harder than she had all week.

Ashley just stared on with an annoyed look. Suddenly, the realization that the waitress would be back struck the brunette. She quickly stood and grabbed Spencer’s hand, dragging her towards the door.

“Come on. We HAVE to get out of here. I’ll buy you food somewhere else.”

Still laughing, Spencer couldn’t help continuing to tease her friend. “Sure thing Muffin!”

“Don’t call me that!” Spencer just remained laughing.

Letting out a frustrated growl, Ashley dragged them both out the door.
