Apple Annie Oak Tree

Chapter 13

A few hours later, they get out of the pool and return to the room and get ready for dinner. Once she's done in the shower, Annie gets into her best blue fringe dress and matching hat and goes and meets up with Franklin, who was sitting on the couch waiting. He then gets up and the two head off to the Magical Hill Restaurant.

A few minutes later in the Magical Hill Restaurant, the two are seated by a waiter named Sebastian. Once they're seated, he brings them menus and asks for their drink order. "I'll have a sweet apple tea," says Apple Annie with a sweet voice and smile on her face.

"I'd like a coffee, black," replies Franklin.

"Sure thing, I'll be right back with those," replies Sebastian as he goes off and gets the drinks. A few minutes later, he returns and places the drinks in front of them. "Do you know what you want to order yet?"

"No, not yet," replies Franklin. "We still need a few minutes." Sebastian nods and agrees to come back in a few minutes as he walks off.

About fifteen minutes later, Sebastian returns to their table and takes their order. "What would you like to eat tonight?" asks Sebastian, pulling out his pad and pen.

"I'll have the haysteak with mushrooms," says Franklin. Sebastian writes this down.

"And for you, Mrs.?" asks Sebastian.

"I'll have the Apple salad with the wheat croutons," replies Annie. Sebastian writes this down.

"I'll be right back with those in around twenty minutes or so," replies Sebastian, trotting off.

"Annie," says Franklin once Sebastian is gone, "when we get back from the honeymoon, we need to think about starting a family. You know that, right?"

"I know," replies Apple Annie. "That's what has me nervous."

"Well, you shouldn't be nervous, after all, you practically raised your sisters and brother," replies Franklin with a smile.

Twenty minutes later, Sebastian walks back over with their food and places it in front of them. The two then dig in right away. They're that hungry. Sebastian slides back over to the kitchen to grab the food for the other tables in his section. As they eat, they do so with quiet as they savor every single bite. They can both agree that there's a good reason this restaurant has three stars. Its food is just that amazing!

An hour later, the two finish up their meals and pay then leave the restaurant and go out for a walk through the fountain garden out back of the hotel. Everything is perfect as they walk, Annie's head on his shoulder. Franklin just smiles. He's so glad Annie agreed to marry him. After all, without her, he would've left to join Buck Tooth Billiard in a heartbeat. It's her that got him to stick around and for that, he couldn't be more grateful!
