[/center]Not more than five minutes after the sizzling hot apps arrived did Nate spot Dee approach their table. At first, he smiled big, waving over to her. It would be difficult for her to spot him since Nate had the benefit of long, lanky arms. That paired with a recognizable forehead and a hairline unique to him and him alone, allowed Dee to follow his gesture.

And, the second Dee had stepped to the side, a smile beaming with confidence and relief soon withdrew itself somewhat into a tight unease smile, yet not as trembling as one might expect. He was on a euphoric high, though granted the awkwardness of the kiss with Millie Jean left a lot to be desired for. Still, nothing could have prepared him for seeing Jasper. It was a surprise and Nate was still trying to figure out if he liked not knowing or if he wished Dee gave him a heads up.

[color=50c878][i]Yeah, she probably didn’t tell me so she could see the look on both of our faces.[/i][/color]

Whichever was the case, it’s not like the wound of the video was fresh and Nate promised Mandy that he wouldn’t think about it anymore. He promised her that, despite everything, he’ll have fun tonight.

Yeah, easier said than done.

After the waitress took Jasper’s order, Nate waved at Jasper. [color=50c878]“You two look nice.” [i]NIce? No, they look hot. But, of course, there was no way Nate could say that right off the bat, right? Right?[/i] “Did you guys find the way here alright?”[/color] Nate asked, mentally kicking himself in the groin. [color=50c878]“I mean, obviously you did cause you’re here and not stranded somewhere in town.”[/color] His nervous laughter awkwardly transitioned into him focusing on the chips and salsa, snacking on a few of them in hopes that what just happened might fade off like a bad dream.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/color]
