-Oh my Gosh!- she squealed as she hugged me, -Look at you! All metropolis looking!- she said pushing me back by the shoulders then again pulling me into her bear hug, -I missed you V-
-I missed you too, Tatty- I add hugging her back, -But I have to ask....what did you mean by all metropolis looking?-
Tatiana let go of my and grabbed me by the wrist, -Come, I'll tell you when we are seated- She had reserved our usual booth at the end corner far away from any speaker and the less populated area of the restaurant.
-So....- I carry my voice with a side smirk
-Oh dear, look at you... using white jeans- sneakered Tatiana, -Let say I have seen you use white jeans three times in our whole lives. The first one when we were obligated to wear white at a school assembly, the second one when it was that weird kid's christening then a third time back when you had the rest of your jeans at the laundry and well...now-
I laugh, -That doesn't mean that I have changed- I shrug as the waiter comes to take our orders, -Hi, I would like a chocolate chip combo with 2 scrambled eggs no! Wait better be 2 sunny-side eggs... can you change the sausage to bacon?- the waiter nodded, -Great and I still want the four slices of bread the hash browns and could I also get an orange juice and a glass of water please-
The waiter scribbled over his notepad as fast as he could nodding even after I had stopped talking.
Tatiana was making fun of the poor guy as he kept on writing, -Gotta say V, you still have quite the appetite.-
-What would you have miss?- the guy asked scared of Tatiana's answer
-Just get me three oatmeal pancakes and a black coffee please- Tatty ordered and the waiter sighed with relief before leaving, -Now tell me everything about your job!-
-It is amazing, I have all this great coworkers and the amazing Lois Lane as mentor has been out of this world- I say
-I read that article of yours about how the batboys had to be rescued by Supergirl- the gypsy laughed, -You better watch out they might have not liked the article-
I rolled my eyes with a smile on my face, -I guess they are still undecided about what to do with me-
Tatiana extended her arms across the table towards me with her palms facing up and instantly I placed my hands over hers, -I am so proud of you, girl. It is what you wanted right, be recognized-I agree with her by nodding, -but seriously tell me about that handsome rich boy you are dating. Did you know that you two were trending topic during December, huh?-
I cover my face with my hands feeling how my face turns red. That little moment of fame had been enough for me to cross the wanting to be famous off my goal list, there is no privacy, -Don't remind me.-
Tatiana retrieved her hands back to her sides as the waiter brought our beverages placing Tatiana's coffee in front of her and my two glasses in front of me we thanked him as he skidded away from us as fast as he could. I scanned the place it was almost empty which was weird when I had been younger and waitering Saturday mornings were always filled with costumers, but now it was sad that very few people where around.
I return to face my curly haired friend who is innocently sipping her coffee, -What about you Tatty, what have you been up to?-
She knitted her eyebrows before letting down her coffee mug, -Don't change the subject honey. Tell my about your hunk hunky boyfriend, Jason Wayne.-
I shake my head and roll my eyes,-I had a double date last night with his brother and his brother's girlfriend. Jason is at work right now and hmm... I don't know what to else to tell you.-
-That is fine.- added Tatty with a wave of her hand, -I can't imagine the kind of work it is to own the Iceberg Lounge- she turned to look out the window nodding
The Iceberg Lounge? Jason owned the Iceberg Lounge? Well he certainly didn't tell me about his job, but I couldn't seem surprised not in front of Tatty, -Right?- I chuckle before taking a long sip out of my orange juice, -Hard work-
-I opened my own store!- Tatiana grabbed my hand and squeezed it with excitement, -It is an antique shop, but also a hand reading kinda place.-
-Wow Tatiana you opened your own store! What's it called?-
-Tatiana's- she said proudly and honestly I wasn't surprised
-Catchy- I smile at her returning the hand squeezing, -Could I be your first hand reading client?-
-But of course- my friend said and turned my hand so my palm could be facing her as she squinted her eyes she drew back to give me a preoccupied expression, -You are very anxious about him, and very tired?-
I try to shrug it off the feeling of liar and chuckle, -He is the owner of the Iceberg Lounge and yeah I am not sleeping very well-
-I guess that is just that, you always had lots of control over your life so whatever- Tatiana shrugged, -What brings you to lovely Gotham besides tonight's school reunion?-
-Funny story I had accepted that I wasn't going to the reunion but Mr. White wanted me to have this interview and it was a great coincidence that he sent me here this weekend-
-There are no coincidences- she said turning to look at me above her long acrylic purple nails, -Oh! The food's here!-
