Grilled Cheese: That which I am...

“Hi, this is Crazy Cooks”

“Hi, this is Barathi from ATLAS... the place with all those monster trucks that places orders with you often…”

“ATLAS what ?”

“Oh that’s where Neil works… you know he’s a frequenter to your place…”

“Ummm… welll…?”

“Barathi, the short girl that comes with two men and orders grilled cheese sandwich-no meat …”

“OH so …grilled cheese… Como esta? How are you my friend? Ok, one order of that and the usual half an order of fries right? And your special ketchup and peppers on the side? See, I know your order!”

“Wait, I don’t want to order that this time though…just a salad…”

[The freaking phone gets disconnected at this important juncture. Sb calls again.]

“Hi, this is Crazy Cooks”

“Hey, I just spoke with you a second ago… I’m…" Sb wonders whether she should say Neil/ Danny/ ATLAS…>,and finally decides to say, "Well I am Grilled Cheese.”

“Yes hon I got your order –it’s on its way”
“No, wait. I’m the person grilled cheese but this time I want a vegetarian salad –no tomatoes, no mushrooms lotsa cheese and lots of peppers on the side –and ranch. Throw in a soda too”

“Ok gotcha, he’ll be right there.”

Signs a tip on the credit card, “Thanks, you have a great day!.”

He smiles and slams the door behind him as he walks out of the trailer.

Sb realizes a big forgotten mission… runs behind him, “Hey I forgot your name”

“Chris”.

“Hey Chris, I'm Barathi, nice to meet you”

“Baraaa…?”.

“Well, I know it’s hard to say -..Baarathi – better known as Grilled Cheese to you guys (smile) but you could call me B if you like”.

“ya, B, I like it! Seeya.”
--------

“Hey it’s me, B, calling again. You forgot to send me the extra peppers”

“B who?”

(damn -no more of the Atlas, Neil, truck routes...)

“This is me, grilled cheese”.

“Hey girl, Chris is heading back there with your peppers… why didn’t you call to remind us earlier?”
