"I'll have the pasta with pesto sauce and a glass of red wine," Randy said to the waiter and closed the menu.
"I'll have spaghetti with extra meatballs, a glass of sparkling cider, a slice of cheesecake, hot fudge sundae, and a brownie," Jackie ordered as she scanned the menu. The waiter raised his eyebrow but said nothing.
"Gee, is that all?" Randy asked sarcastically. How could a girl eat so much?
"Hey, I skipped lunch," she said dismissively.
After fifteen minutes of waiting their food finally came and Jackie's mouth watered. When the waiter placed the food onto the table, she immediately dug in, temporarily forgetting any dining etiquette whatsoever.
"Slow down." Randy looked disgusted at her eating habits.
"What?" she asked, her mouth full of food. She was completely oblivious to the stares of people around her.
"Nothing," he said and went to eat his food.
After they were done eating, Jackie rubbed her slim tummy and pouted. "It's going to take thirty hours at the gym to work these pounds off."
Randy smirked. "Maybe you should lay off those cheesecakes and brownies."
"I can't help it. They're sooooo good."
The waiter came and placed their bill on the table.
"You're paying, right?" Jackie asked him.
Randy sighed and pulled out his wallet. "Yeah, yeah. If I had known you would eat so much, I should have made you pay half."
She stuck out her tongue and he smiled.
"So where do you want to go now?" Jackie asked as they left the restaurant.
"Back to the hotel, where else? It's already late."
"It's only 12:30," she said as she looked at her watch.
"Only?" He asked in amazement. "How late do you usually stay out?"
"Well, when you are in this profession, you're used to staying out late. Hey, let's go look at the stars." She grabbed his hand excitedly.
"Why? It's not like you haven't seen them before."
"But this is different. Come on." She dragged him along and he could only follow.
"The beach?! You dragged me to the beach?" He asked incredulously.
"Yep. This is where I usually go to look at the stars." She pulled him down to sit on the sand next to her. "Isn't it romantic? All the couples go here."
"But we're not a couple," he pointed out.
Still looking at the sky, she said, "I know. I just feel like taking you with me." She then laid her head on his shoulder. "It's so beautiful," she said dreamily.
Randy looked at the stars above and had to admit it was beautiful. He just wished he had someone special to share the moment with.
"Just think, if we were really a couple, this would be the greatest date ever," Jackie joked.
"Yeah…" Unconsciously, he took her hand and squeezed it. Jackie, too busy admiring the stars, didn't notice and soon fell asleep on his shoulder. And surprisingly he didn't mind.
Awww…. Isn't it romantic? Review please!!!!!
