They walk into the restaurant,Kene looks around as Jayden stares at her and he opens the chair for her.

"Thank you."She smiles and he nods his head.

"You like?"He asks while looking at her with his hands folded and her elbows rested on the tables as her hands rubs the back of her neck.

"Yeah,I guess."She shrugs her shoulders and Jayden smirks."I honestly thought it would be Netflix and chill."She looks at him and he has this unexplained face expression.

"Why?"He pouts his lips and looks at her."Are you talking based on experience of what a first date should be?"

"I just hear a lot of people complain and how Netflix and chill means other things."Kene replies and nervously plays with her hair."Gosh,you make me so nervous."Kene laughs and Jayden smirks.

"I get it but I mean we can do it if you-"

"It's fine,this is perfect actually."Kene cuts him off and Jayden widens his eyes as she laughs.

"Wow! You are such a character."He laughs and picks the menu up."Oh and please don't worry I'm paying for this."

"You brought me here so of course you'll pay."She says and shrugs her shoulders. He just laughs as they both pick mac and cheese with greek salad.Jayden orders orange juice and she orders grape juice.

"So if you invite me somewhere?"

"Bathong Jay,I'll pay."She replies and Jayden just bust out laughing."If you are serious about this then let it be that when you do something for me example on my birthday,I'll do something for you also. Here it's reciprocated energy.What do you think?"

"Okay ma'am. I agree,the thing is that you are so fucking smart."Jayden says and Kene looks at him with a smile.

She does a dramatic hair flip causing him to laugh."I know but thanks. Anything I should be on the look out for."

"I prefer to show not tell."

"Okay. Tell me something about yourself."The waiter brings their food and drinks."Thank you."Kene says with a smile and he does the same thing also.

"Firstly,I'm an introvert so I don't have much friends."

"Let me guess,female friends?"She asks as she remembers another reason she broke up with her ex-boyfriend.

"No. Basically my siblings and cousins are my friends. I have my female cousin and young sister. What about you?"He asks sensing something might have triggered that question.

"Well,I'm also an introvert so not many friends even through I met two very amazing girls last Saturday."Kene says and she begins to eat.

"What's your IG handle?"He asks and she sees him unlock his phone. She tells him her handle and he nods his head as she follows her and she quickly goes to request a follow. He accepts the request and they both laugh."You want something sweet after here?"

"Milk tart will be just fine."He nods her head and they look at their plates as they both eat in silence. Kene likes him since he doesn't have much friends and he is an introvert.
