~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atwan's was a very swanky place.

Jazz music played in the background as every person ate a variety of food from seafood, to a simple hamburger.

The five of us were seated at the only VIP table in the entire restaurant.

There were other patrons of course. Some glared at us, others rolled their eyes and I could've sworn I heard a gasp when I passed a group of girls.

When I looked behind me, I saw Max and Bianca's conversation about some scene from a book getting deeper as they talked about the pros and cons while some girls at the other tables rolled their eyes and talked shit to their little clan of wannabes scattered about.

l thought it was cute that Max and Bianca were talking like this. I think all the tensions between Max and Kim would soon be forgotten in its due time.

"Hi everyone, welcome to Antwan's what can I get for you?" our waitress announced, her smile and breezy personality made me feel relaxed.

"Can I please get a glass of Rose (yes they're 21 or up)" Kim asked while twirling her golden hair in between her index and middle finger. The waitress quickly scribbled Kim's drink down.

"May I please get a dry martini, with a lemon wedge please" Jake ordered while glancing at the menu for food.

"I'll have sex on a beach please" I blurted while glancing over at salads. None of them sounded good, but if I wanted a perfect body, I couldn't eat something like a fatty steak.

"I'll have a sour whisky. Please be light on the lemon juice." Max asked while showing Bianca where the drinks were.

When it was Bianca's turn, she announced she had never had alcohol before. Not even when she hit the legal drinking age.

"We do have soda and I can get you some juice like orange or apple." the waitress offered. Max and I nodded in an agreement. We seem to come to an understanding with each other.

"Hey, how about a glass of white wine? I heard it's perfect for beginners" Jake offered to show Bianca where the option was. I had to agree with the waitress. Bianca seemed to have been a homebody. Even when she was traveling with her dad throughout the years.

Bianca shrugged before Max offered to order for her. When Bianca nodded, Max asked for a glass of water, but also have a small glass of wine on the side, just in case she wanted to try it.

It was sweet that Max was willing to try and compromise on Bianca's behalf. He was a gentleman.

"Alrighty then, your drinks will be out soon, I just need all your ids and we can send them out ASAP" the waitress announced as we all got our wallets out.

The table was dead silent like there were no conversations at all to start.

My phone buzzed causing the entire table to jump.

"Hello from Ft. Beat. Just to remind you that cameras are watching you. So we have an offer. Why don't you guys watch each other's first viral videos?"

I gulped.

My first viral video?

The same one that shows off my belly while I wore a skin-tight suit? The same one where I tried to attempt a sexy pose?

No, no thanks. Anything but that.

Before any of us could protest, the screen in front of our table lit up and Jake's video was the first to go up.
