Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken

Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken

This little fried chicken and fried bread joint serves up some great food. We tried the apple fritter, the pistachio glazed donut, and a chicken sandwich. We went a little past the morning rush, so the donuts had lost their warmth. Still great though. The apple fritter was the winner between the two donuts here. The chicken sandwich was awesome. I only wish I had added cheese to this, but…

“las vueltas que da la vida ¿no?” inquiere con un suspiro. “mi papá solía asustarme con que le llamaría a los pandilleros que fueran a recogerme si no me comportaba…” niega con su cabeza dejando salir lo que es una especie de risita. “si me viera ahora seguro se muere” aclara su garganta y observa su ropa. “dime… no llamo tanto la atención ¿verdad?” esto último lo dice en tono bajito.

For the WIP game! "two achilles" since I have no idea what it would be but you got me intrigued😆😆

I don't know if I'm ever going to actually finish this, but it was spawned from people asking me if there is a modern Achilles kicking around somewhere in Sunset. This conglomeration of snippets was me playing around with the idea before I got distracted (which means I did not get far at all).

~

Achilles decides on the jetway that he is quitting his job the minute he gets back from what will be his last business trip. Going to Chicago in February sounded like a stupid idea to begin with, a five-hour flight from LA when telephones and the internet and webcams exist, and the blast of cold air that hit his face as he passed the threshold from plane to gate was enough winter for him. He’s done going on idiotic excursions under someone else’s orders.

There is a man staring at him across the lobby, presumably waiting for his coffee from the long queue that has spilled out of the store. This is not an unusual occurrence for Achilles, but the expression on his face is strange. Rather than interest or even blatant-lust, he is frowning at Achilles like he is completely confused as to his existence here. Achilles would brush this off as mere crudeness of the locals if that man were not one of the most beautiful people he has ever seen in his life. He has dark skin, long black hair in coils pulled into a bun at the back of his head and cascading out of it, and dark eyes that, even squinting with whatever confusion he is experiencing, seem to be inviting him over.

When the man turns his attention elsewhere, Achilles quickly glances down at himself to make sure he isn’t stained with something. No, his suit is perfect, pristine and ironed, not a button out of place. At least he can be certain that isn’t the reason for the attention.

“Have we met before?” the man asks him cautiously. From anyone else, he would think it was a line. He wouldn’t have minded if it were a line. But he sounds sincere. He also sounds vaguely English, which is intriguing. Not a local then.

“I think I would remember you.”

 “You’d be surprised. Memory can be very fickle, I’ve recently found.”
