I Think It's Better to be Direct

Knock... knock... knock…

Ethan, who was busy looking at Maria's photos on his social media, was surprised because there was a knock on the car door next to the passenger seat. He turned and saw Carolina's figure knocking on the car door.

"Ah," said Ethan and then reopened the door that he had previously locked.

"Here's yours!" Carolina said then handed him a plastic bag containing a box and a bottle of cola.

"Thanks," said Ethan taking the plastic bag, "You're not in a hurry, are you? I'll eat first, okay?" asked Ethan again asking for permission because he's scared she would scold him.

Carolina, still holding two plastic bags, nodded and put one in the back seat.

Ethan, who was already hungry, immediately opened the box and took the chicken.

"Uh hot," he muttered as he felt the heat from the freshly made fried chicken.
