"Reservation for Lovato." Demi said to the hostess as they got inside the restaurant.

"Follow me." The hostess led them over to a table. "Your waiter will be with you shortly." She smiled politely before walking off.

Demi looked over at Selena and smiled. "So what do you think of the place so far?"

"It's really nice. I like it but it seems expensive. Are you sure you can afford this? I mean we can go somewhere else. I really don't mind." Selena suggested. She didn't want Demi to spend too much on her.

"Nah it's fine. You let me worry about that." Demi smiled gently at her.

Selena smiled back at her before picking up the menu to look through it.

"Hello. My name is Tim and I will be your waiter for this evening." The waiter said as he walked up to them. He then looked up from his notepad and noticed Demi. "Hey, Demi! I haven't seen you in awhile."

Demi looked up and smiled at him. "Oh hey Tim. I didn't know you worked here."

"Yeah I just started here a few days ago when they first opened this place up." Tim replied smiling. "Anyways, what would you guys like?" They told Tim what they wanted as he wrote it down on his notepad. "Alright. Your food will be ready in a little bit." He smiled and started to walk off before stopping and looking back. "Hey Demi," he called back. "Nice date. She's prettier than the rest of them." Tim winked before finally walking away.

"Do you bring all your dates here?" Selena asked, looking a bit hurt.

"N-no. It's just, I used to work here." Demi said quickly.

"And?" Selena asked getting a bit mad. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"W-well, a lot of girls w-would constantly visit me here and flirt with me and Tim would always tease me for it. That's why he said that." Demi answered, hoping that Selena would believe her.

"Oh...okay. I guess that makes sense." Selena sighed. "I'm sorry for freaking out."

"I-it's okay." Demi stuttered, quickly looking back down at the table. She was a bit relieved that Selena believed her.

After a little while, their food arrived. Selena took a bite of her food and hummed in response. "Mmm, this food is so good."

Demi took a bite of her food as well. "You're right. This is good."

Selena looked at her puzzled. "I thought you used to work here? Shouldn't you have already known that?"

Demi froze before slowly calming down. "Oh uhm, th-that's because I uhm, n-never tried the food. I only worked here."

"Well that's silly. I wouldn't be able to work at a restaurant and never once try the food." Selena said, going back to eating her food.

"Yeah, well..." Demi chuckled nervously before going back to eating her food as well.

As Selena was eating, she couldn't help but overhear a middle-aged couple talking at the table behind her.

"I just love this new restaurant Marty. Don't you?" The woman asked her husband.

"Why yes I do Margaret. I'm glad they finally opened this place up just last week." The man replied to his wife.

Selena suddenly stopped eating, thinking about the conversations she's had with Demi that night about the restaurant.

"Are you okay?" Demi asked thoughtfully, noticing that she had stopped eating.

Selena looked over at her and shook her head. "You lied to me." She whispered more to herself than to Demi.

"W-what are y-you talking about?" Demi gulped nervously.

"You told me that you used to work here but this restaurant just opened last week. You also said you used to work with Tim here but you didn't even know he worked here. And I bet that's not all you lied to me about." Selena said, more hurt than she ever has been in her life.

"I forgot?" Demi tried nervously.

Selena scoffed and shook her head. "You are unbelievable. Stop lying to me Demi! I already caught you in your big fat lie so you might as well stop."

Demi looked down. "I-I'm sorry Selena."

Selena only shook her head. "Whatever. I'm out of here. Don't bother calling me because I won't pick up." With that she got up from her seat and walked out of the restaurant, leaving Demi to sit there and sulk by herself.
