Way to kill the mood

    It was a late night a stacks, It was around 9:00 at night. It was a regular night at Stack's. The were about 5 tables filled. One table had a couple sitting at it. The man appeared to be 40 or so. The woman was in her mid to late 30s. The were bother dressed casual but not bad. The woman said, "Andrew, I love spending time with you. Even if it is just a stacks a night away from the kids is always nice." "I know, Jessica. Those Kids can be quite the handful, I'm not sure if the babysitter will survive the night." Andrew laughed.  The waitress walked up to the couple and said, "How are you two enjoying your evening?" Andrew, "Everything has been fantastic, thank you Susan!" The waitress was a young woman in her late twenties. Her eyes had bags under them; She was probably tired from a long day at work, and looking forward to her shift ending. As the waitress walked away Andrew reached out and grabbed Jessica's hand lovingly as they gazed into each others eyes.
    At that moment four boy's around the age of 18 walked into Stacks. two of them were white, one appeared to be native american, and the other one was African american. As they sat down at the table the African american one, Isaac said, "So what are we going to my place after this to pre-game?" One of the white ones, Travis said,"I don't really care dude but where the hell is the waiter i'm thirsty as hell!" The other two sat on their phones barely paying attention to the other ones.  The waitress walked up to them and said, "Would you gentleman like anything to drink?" The other white one, Jake said, "I'll have a Dr. pepper, beautiful." Travis just ordered a water, Isaac got a sprite, and the native american one, Adan ordered a coffee." After the waitress left to get their drinks Jake whispered, "Guys did you see how that waitress flirted with me she totally wanted me." Adan turned and slapped Jake on the head and yelled, "You're the only one flirting dumb-ass! She's probably at least ten years why would she want you?" Everyone in the restaurant turned their heads at the sound of the commotion. The other two boys pulled out their phones again right before Jake slapped Adan back and exclaimed, "Dude shut the hell up! What do you even know!" Travis and Isaac both said, "Boy this is totally going on my story!" The waitress came back after thing settled down and the boys placed their orders.
      After the waitress left Isaac crumpled his straw wrapper into a ball and yell, "Three pointer as he tried to make it into Jake's drink. The shot missed, but Jake got mad and said, "Isaac are you trying to catch these hands?" A crumpled wrapper made it into Jake's drink and Travis laughed, "He might, but i am!" The other boys laughed while Jake steamed.
     The couple looked back at the boys and Jessica said, "Even if ours aren't here some kids have to ruin the mood." Andrew asked, "why can't we have just one quiet night together?" Andrew then left the money on the table and left angrily with Jessica.
