As the two make their way out of the Restaurant, they walk through the parking lot, going to Jalon's car.
"Why, are we going to your car? this isn't what a walk is," Strea says with her arms folded, stopping midway as she realizes where they're going. "Come on, I don't bite unless you want me to, and plus it's too busy to walk around anyways,"
"Ugh, fine, but don't try anything, my mom's a nurse and she's shown me all the places to kill a man," Strea says in a threatening tone. "I'm sure she has, but I promise I won't do anything," Jalon says standing outside his car door with his hands on the roof of it.
The two get in the car, and sit in awkward silence, shortly before Strea breaks it. "Why'd you call me in here?" Strea says turning her body to face him.
Jalon sits in the driver's seat, staring out the window in front of him not making a sound, with his arm's holding the back of his seat. "Jalon?" Strea says again trying to get his attention.
"Ja-If I asked you to be my girlfriend, would you say, yes?" He asks cutting her off.
"Uhm, I'm not sure, I've never really... never mind I don't know," Strea says looking away from him in embarrassment.
"Never really, what?" he asks now snapped out of his trance turning his body to look at her. "Nothing, why do ask?" Strea says avoiding the question. "You can tell me, who am I going to tell?" Jalon says searching her face for answers.
"I've never really dated anyone; I haven't dated period," Strea says looking away feeling even more embarrassed. "Really?" he asks in a surprised tone. "Mhm," she says shaking her head slightly up and down.
"Can we change the subject? I feel really embarrassed," Strea says turning her body away from him to look out the window.
"Why are you embarrassed? Princess, it's nothing to be ashamed of, you know what you want and you're willing to wait for it," He says gently moving her face to look at him. "Stop calling me, Princess," Strea says taking her face out of his hands, shyly. "Why would I do that? you're my princess Strea," Jalon says gently moving her face back to him again.
The two sit in silence taking in each other's facial features, "Astrea Fayre, will you go on a date with me?" Jalon says, not looking away from her. As he says this, Strea jumps out of the trance she was in and shyly looks away from Jalon.
"You're not playing with me, right?" She says in a soft tone, still looking away from him. "No, I'm not, I mean it, you're so beautiful and so strong and independent, I want to date someone like you, I want to date you, and I know you don't have much experience in the whole dating thing, but I promise I'll make sure you're always happy, and that you never have to worry about anything, so will you go on a date with me?" He says taking out the breath he was holding, preparing himself for her to say no.
"Yes," Strea says shyly looking down this time, "Yes?" Jalon says confused, "Yes, I'll go on a date with you," she says looking at him this time with confidence. "Yes!" he says excitedly grabbing her face gently before planting a kiss on her lips.
"Woah, woah, slow down, we're not dating or anything, hold the kissing till after," Strea says pushing his face away, "Sorry, I got a little excited, I'll just hold your hand for now, but can I still call you Princess?" he asks taking her hand into his, "Yeah, I kind of like it," she says smiling at him.

"That was Cat, she said the food's going to be ready in two minutes, so we should head back before that," Strea says locking her phone, as she looks up at Jalon.
