Irresistible

Liz was the most annoying person I had ever met. She was loud, rude and extremely bothersome. It felt like her soul purpose was to bother me. Out of the 7 billion people in the world, she had to be my best friend, Emma's, little sister. Every time I was with Emma she had to be there, their parents both worked full time so she had to baby sit all day and every day.

Today was the worst of all days with her. It was my birthday. The one day that's supposed to be about me turned into a day about her. Going out for desert with Emma was a tradition on my birthday, we did the same on hers. Of course, Liz had to come this year. We went to Milestones because that's where they had the best red velvet cake. The cream cheese filling was to die for. The second we walked into the restaurant she was already talking about the cake. My cake. Even after our glasses got filled with water, she was still talking about it. I didn't need a menu. I knew just what I wanted and I knew the longer it took me to look and the menu the longer it would take for me to have my first bite. Emma's birthday was in January and mine was in October so it had been a long time since my last indulgence of this wonderful cake.

Then I saw it. Our waiter was bringing a single piece. My mouth started to water the second I made eye contact. He sat it down on the table right in front of Liz and he said "the other slices will be out shortly I apologize for the wait!"

The second the waiter left Liz yelled and shoot her arms forward to both sides of the plate. "AHAH I get the first piece you get to wait!" I felt as if anger began to run through my vains. How could she do this. How could she take MY slice of cake on MY birthday. For the first time I was gonna do something about the way Liz treated me. I leaped over the table as she took the first bite and grab the whole piece with my hands, I shoved it in my mouth with one massive bite. I looked up at her face to see her eyes popping out of her head in shock. Emma was laughing harder then ever.

But for the first time. I stood up for myself and didn't take any of what Liz was throwing at me, and that, was priceless.
