Chapter 5: Date Talk
"So where do you wanna eat?" Jackson asked Malia as they pulled up at the mall.
"Um, I don't know really know any good places." Malia said.
"That's okay. There's this really nice Indian restaurant. You like Indian?" Jacksons asked and Malia nodded and they walked to the restaurant.

Lydia had dragged Stiles to the mall to go shopping, "Why can't one of your friends go with you?" Stiles whined.
"Because they were all busy with homework but I finished it in class and you're my boyfriend now, that means going shopping with me." Lydia told him and Stiles rolled his eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes. Do you know how many times Jackson went shopping with me?" Lydia told him.
"Your seriously playing that card, Lydia?" Stiles glared.
"I'm sorry, Stiles. That was wrong. I just wish you liked shopping with me, baby." Lydia apologised running her hand up and down his arm.
"Okay let's just go." Stiles said and wrapped his arm around her. I wonder if Malia is on her date now. I wish I was there with her.

Meanwhile, Jackson and Malia had just ordered the meals at the restaurant. "So, why'd you move?" Jackson asked.
"Um, my mum and sister died in a car crash. My dad just wanted to move to a new town, too many old memories." Malia told him.
"Oh my gosh, that's terrible. I'm so sorry." Jackson said.
"Yeah, it doesn't help when your dad blames you. I was in the car and I survived." Malia explained.
"Well, it's not your fault you survived. He should be happy he didn't loose you as well." Jackson said.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, it's probably not good date talk." Malia laughed.
"To be honest, I've been out of the game for so long, I don't even know how to do this anymore. Lydia and I were together for 2 years." Jackson said as there meals arrived.
"Yeah, I had a boyfriend before I moved. It sucks." Malia agreed.
"Did you guys spilt because you were moving?"
"No, he cheated on me." Malia told him.
"Ouch, what a douche." Jackson said.
"Yeah but I got over it." Malia smiled and so did Jackson. Maybe he isn't that bad…

"I'm hungry, Stiles. We should stop somewhere for food." Lydia said.
"Yeah, I guess I could use a break from carrying all your bags…" Stiles said in a joking matter so he wouldn't anger Lydia but in his mind, he meant it for real.
"Oh, look that Indian place you were telling me about. Let's go there." Lydia said.
"Okay." Stiles agreed.
"Table for two." Lydia told the waitress and she led them towards the back, which they soon realised was a bad idea when they saw Malia and Jackson. They didn't even notice them, because they were too busy laughing at Jackson's joke and Stiles wanted to wipe that smile of his face.
"Hey, guys." Stiles said and Lydia glared at him. She didn't want a awkward encounter.
"Oh, hey Stiles, Lydia." Malia said, recovering from her laughter.
"Hey, guys. I thought you were going to the concert?" Lydia asked.
"Yeah, it doesn't start for an hour. Actually, we should probably go, otherwise were going to be late." Jackson said and Malia nodded.
Jackson, put a $100 on the table as he got up and Stiles was just looking at it like it had 2 heads.
"It's just a $100 bill, Stiles." Jackson laughed and got Malia's hand, "Let's go."
"Bye Stiles, Lydia." Malia said over her shoulder and Stiles waved but Lydia just rolled her eyes.
"That was awkward." Lydia said and they sat down.
"Just a $100 bill? Is he rich or something?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah, have you seen the car he drives?" Lydia said, browsing the menu.
"Do you um think Jackson will um try uh, anything with her tonight?" Stiles asked. He knew it was an awkward question to ask his girlfriend, but he wanted to know what she thought. I really hope she says no or I'm going hurt him.
"Probably, that's the only reason he asked her out anyway. Why?"
"Wait, how'd you know that?" Stiles asked ignoring her question.
"Jackson told me in class the other day. I was 'Why are you even going out with her?' and he told me, it was because she was hot and he wanted to get lucky." Lydia explained.
"And you didn't say anything?"
"Nothing I would have said would've helped, and it's not like I care were broken up, he can sleep with whoever he wants." Lydia told him and Stiles cringed when she said, 'sleep with'.

When they got there seats at the concert Malia saw what good seats that they were. Jackson got seats in the front row.
"These are awesome seats!" Malia said.
"Yep, I'm kinda of rich." Jackson bragged, and Malia smiled on the outside but mentally rolled her eyes.
During the concert, Jackson kept putting his arm around her or his hand on her thigh and it was making her uncomfortable.
"This is my favourite song!" Malia told him over the music as, 'All You Had To Do Was Stay' came on and stood up to dance, as a way to get way from Jackson's wondering hand.
"Yeah, cool." Jackson said not paying attention. He was on his phone.
After the concert, Jackson bought Malia some merch. Malia had offered to pay, but Jackson didn't let her.
"Thank you so much for this." Malia said, referring to her concert t-shirt.
"Stop saying that babe. It was $40, not a million." He told her smiling and she smiled back and they headed to the car. Even though she had a great time with him, she couldn't help but think it'd would have been better with Stiles.
Hey, guys! So finally, the date is done and plus I'm sorry that this is looking like a Jackson/Malia fic but I promise you it isn't and I'm pretty sure Stiles and Malia are going to get together soon. I don't really have a plan for the story, I just kinda of make it up as I go. So if you have any ideas than please feel free to let me know if there's anything you wanna see and I'll have a look :)
