Even if it didn't actually take long at all, he would have sworn that the line for the pizza place had stretched on for hours. He was impatient by the time he made it to the register, then irritated when they told him he had to wait for a full pie, then outright frustrated when the pimple faced community college drop out at the counter said they were all out of cup-holders.
Seriously. Cup-holders.
By the time he got the pizza and preciously balanced two obscenely large coke cups on the lid, he was genuinely expecting one last blow. Whether it was slipping on a freshly mopped floor or getting tripped by some imbecile happening by and wearing their meal home on his inevitable walk of shame. But as if by some divine intervention and only one terrifying cup wobble that magically righted itself, he made it over to the table in the corner occupied by the prettiest girl in the damn place without any sort of disaster.
Short of the horrifically overpriced pizza, that was.
"Either you're good luck, or I'm just having a good day." He decided as he slid her soda towards her. "I thought I was about to eat shit at least three times."
