Monday, 16th of September

Long story short, Jason and I talked extensively about features of phones that I didn't even know was possible, and all the features that I might want.

Next thing I knew, we were standing in a somewhat fancy restaurant and I was giving Jason anxious looks.

Twenty dollars isn't enough here!

I laughed nervously. "Haha.. uh maybe I'm not feeling pasta anymore..? How about McDonalds.."

Jason raised an eyebrow questioningly. "McDonald's? Seriously? Come on, just try it, this place is delicious."

"Uh Jason, I kinda can't.. afford.. this kind of food..?" I whispered.

Jason blinked for a second before a look of realization and then shortly after embarrassment came after.

"That was thoughtless of me, I'm sorry." He apologized then continued, "but I didn't actually mean for you to pay so.."

"Wait what?" I hurriedly walked after Jason as he walked to the hostess stand. "Table for two."

"Jason wait you don't need to do that!" I whispered in a hushed tone. Jason shook his head at me. "Nope, I'm treating you today, it's really good food so shut up and accept it."

"Right this way." The hostess said, awkwardly leading us through the restaurant.

"Jason.." I said anxiously. how could ANYONE afford this place?!!!

We sat down at a booth, Jason scooting in on the other side of the table.

"Here are your menus, your server will be Marie, she will be with you both in just one moment, can I get your drink orders?" The hostess asked.

"Water..?" I asked.

"Wine. Moscato please." Jason replied.

"Absolutely sir, can I see your ID?"

Jason pulled out his ID and handed it to the hostess, and she nodded and passed it back.

"We will have those out soon." She turned around and went to the kitchen.

We sat there for a few seconds, my eyes still wide, his eyebrow raised.

"Chill Percy. It's just lunch."

I look at the menu and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. "Jason." I hissed. "Each dish costs 35 dollars!"

"They put a lot on it." He shrugged.

"gods Jason, this is expensive!" I stared at him.

"Stop looking at the prices then.." he took my menu and put it over his. "I'll order something for you."

"Hello, my name is Marie," a server introduced, she was carrying a glass of wine and a water cup, placing each respective beverage in front of us.
