Restaurant, first date. How lovely and—

Pretty common. You initially didn't wanted to come, you were tired of all those meaningless dates that wasted your time. And it You thought no less of this one. Although he did arrive in a nice navy blue dress shirt, splendidly pressed. You shook off the good impressions, everyone can dress properly, okay?

His jokes were bad, in the extreme that they made them funny, he wouldn't let them run out of conversation. You appreciated his eloquence since he asked for your number in line at the supermarket. Justin noticed you on the moment you were in the cereal aisle, choosing between Cheerios and Lucky Charms.

The two of you had finished your plate, he was mentioning about his job. You asked for the check and he smiled“I mainly do features on a lifestyle magazine. I have my own place on the office” he explained proudly as he subtly felt his pants pockets. His smiled faded a little.

Damn it, damn it. No. No. No. No. *He didn't have his wallet. * His face paled as he gave you a smile, hiding his nervousness. You noticed the change in his attitude and laughed with a frown.

You tilted your head with curiosity. “Everything okay?” you asked in a lightened tone, you wiped your hands with a napkin.

He nodded slowly as he quickly wiped his forehead, already sweaty. Could he be any more nervous?

“All in order” He replied with a soft smile. “I got sidetracked for a moment” You laughed as you waited for the bill to be long overdue. His mind was thinking how the hell to get money to pay before you noticed.
