A Dazzling Vacation
What Did You Mean
Previous ChapterThe next morning when the girls went down to eat breakfast at the restaurant that was in the hotel Aria's head was spinning. She kept trying to figure out what Sonata had meant by what she said last night. When she'd woken up this morning she found Sonata in the same spot she'd left her and Adagio's alarm was going off. She got out of bed and let Adagio deal with Sonata who was still wanting to sleep but Adagio wouldn't allow it. She had said that they needed to get up and start enjoying their vacation because it would be over in a week. Sonata had reluctantly gotten up and gotten dressed after Adagio pleaded for about five minutes.
Now the girls were seated at one of the tables in the restaurant at the Holiday Inn. Aria and Sonata were sitting beside each other and Adagio was sitting across of them reading her menu, Sonata was stirring the ice around in her water with a spoon and Aria was sitting there, thinking. Adagio looked up from her menu and eyed Aria confusingly for a second before turning to Sonata to ask her if she knew what she wanted.
"Sonata, do you know what you want?" Adagio asked as she watched the ice in Sonata's glass for a second.
"I think so." Sonata answered as she stopped stirring the ice to look at the menu to finalize what she wanted. She showed Adagio what she wanted and Adagio nodded, Aria looked down at her menu to decide what she wanted as Adagio went back to her menu.
"Aria do you know what you want?" Adagio asked, she put down her menu and looked across the table at Aria.
"Yeah." Aria said. She was eyeing either the Ham or the Cheese Omelet.
"Ok good because here comes the waitress." Adagio stated as she took the girl's menu.
"Are we ready to order over here?" the waitress in a high-pitched voice.
"Yes I think so." Adagio answered as she smiled at the other two girls.
"Ok then, we'll start with you." the waitress as she gestured towards Adagio.
"Alright, I'm going to have the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs." Adagio said to the waitress.
The waitress wrote it down on her notepad and then gestured to Sonata to go.
"I'll have the Hot Waffle with streaky smoked bacon and maple syrup, please." Sonata said.
The waitress wrote it down and finally pointed to Aria who ordered the Ham Omelet. The waitress wrote it down, asked if that was all, took the menus and then left after it was agreed that was all that was needed.
"I want to color." Sonata said as she looked around.
"Why. Only six-year-olds do that?" Aria stated to Sonata, she folded her arms on the table and looked over at Sonata with a look of confusion on her face.
"Because it's fun." Sonata answered. She looked at Aria and playfully slapped her, Aria slapped her back.
"Cut it out you two. We can ask if there's anything here for you to color on Sonata but I don't think there is." Adagio exclaimed as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her left leg over her right leg.
"Ok." Sonata said. She went back to stirring the ice in her water which was mostly melted.
The girls waited about a half an hour for their food, Sonata wasn't able to color anything and was talking nonsense at the moment, Aria was sitting with her arms still crossed listening to Sonata was a displeased look on her face and Adagio was doing something on her phone, Aria still thought it was unfair that Adagio was allowed to have her phone but Aria wasn't. She could just imagine how many text messages and notifications she had on her phone right now.
The waitress finally came with their food and set it down on the table, she asked if everything was ok and left went she got a satisfying "yes" from all three of the girls. Sonata was the first one to touch her food followed closely by Aria and Adagio. It was silent for a few minutes before anyone spoke up, they were all to busy enjoying their meals to say anything to one another.
"How's the smoked salmon Dagi?" Sonata asked as she looked up at Adagio's plate for a second when she took a drink of water.
"It's good. How's the waffle with the bacon and maple syrup on it?" Adagio asked Sonata.
"Good." was all Sonata said before she went back to eating. Aria's food was good and she was really enjoying it.
When the girls finished with their breakfast and Adagio had paid the bill, they went outside and discussed what they were going to do. Adagio wanted to go look in some of the jewelry stores and Aria and Sonata both wanted to go and see if there was any races at the racetrack that day and Adagio said they would. After they would go get lunch and then see if there was anything else to do that appealed to them.
As they walked down the street Aria began to think about what Sonata had said that night. She looked over at Sonata who was watching some birds fly overhead.
"Hey Sonata, what did you mean when you said I get insecure when someone calls me Ari?" Aria asked, she whispered it into Sonata's ear so Adagio wouldn't hear her say it.
"I just meant that you don't like being called that because your afraid of being made fun of or being though of as weak." Sonata answered, she whispered back.
"Ok, just thought I'd ask." Aria stated as she watched the cars on the street go by.
