J & B Coffee date

Barbara meets Jerome at the Coffee shop. Barbara is at the table a exactly a minute before Jerome arrives. "Well, hey there gorgeous, hows it going"? he says as he sits pulls out his chair and sits down. "Hey Jerome" She says casually. "What took you so long" she says. "Sorry.. Got held up in traffic you know how it is" he says. "Looks like clear roads too me, maybe your just a bad driver Jerome" She says with a smirk. "Oh, quite the kidder arnt we, I enjoy a girl with a sense of humour he says" with a smirk. "Oh, I sure you would but I bet you still cant handle me" She says. "Oh, is that a challenge" He says with a smile. "Maybe, can you own up to it"? She smiles. 

The banter is broken when a man comes up. "Hello, my name is Jerry Lious, and I will be your server today" he says to them. He is wearing a white colored shirt, tan hair, and thin square wireframe glasses. He has black pants and a black vest on. "Hey there Jerry! My name is Jerome! Nice to meet ya!" He says putting his hand out to shake. The waiter finds it odd that the man would want to shake his hand but decided it was better to just go along with it and not be viewed as rude. When the man shakes his hand, he is shocked and shouts "Ow!" he jumps slightly and swiftly pulls his hand back. Jerome smiles and shows his hand "Its a buzzer" he says. The Man groans and walks away angrily. "Guess he cant take a Joke can he"? Jerome says looking at Barbara "Guess not sweety" Barbara says with a smile. 

5 minutes later a new waiter comes over. Its a female with blonde hair in a ponytail and green eyes. She too was in a button up shirt, black vest and pants. "Has someone helped you yet"? she asks. "No, no one has taken our order" Barbara says. "Hey! Do you like Magic"? Jerome asks. "Why do you do some"? She asks. "Yeah, watch this" Jerome says. Jerome pulls flowers out of his sleeve and shows it to her. "For you" he says. "Oh my"? She says taking it and suddenly the flowers squirt water in her face. She frowns and tosses the flowers  on the ground and storms off. "Gee, A bunch of killjoys in this place" Jerome says. Barbara giggles "I know, no one has a sense of humor" she says. 

"Hey that tall nerdy dude looks a little like Eddy dont he"? Jerome says. "Well, he does have somewhat of a resemblance" she says. "You know, if you keep scaring off the staff we are never going to get out coffee" Barbara says. "Well, thats true, but at least we are having fun" Jerome says. "Thats true" Barbara says. "How old you think that girl was"? she asks. "Hm? Pretty young, maybe 19" he says. "arnt you 18"? Barbara asks. "How do you think I guessed" Jerome says. 

Another waiter comes. Another young one. Its a skinny short lanky looking boy. He has short black hair and green eyes and a white button up, black suspenders and black pants and shined shoes. "Has, anyone served you too yet"? he asks. "No, they have not" Jerome says looking over. Jerome suddenly starts coughing. "Oh no.. I think, I have a frog in my throat." Jerome says "Ahhh, Ahhh! CHOO!" He says and sneezes and blood splatters and in Jerome hands is a dove covered in blood. "Oh, I guess it was a bird" He says as he lets the bird go and it flys away. The skinny waiter is covered in blood. The waiter sighs and says "Exscuse me just a moment" He says as he walks away. 

"Oh no, there goes another" Barbara says. "What can I say" Jerome says with a shrug. Another waiter carrying drinks walks by and Jerome puts out his foot and the man trips and drops all the plates and glasses. "Oh, What a clutz you are" Jerome says as he stands up and walks to the man and bends over putting his hand out "Here, let me help you up" Jerome says putting out his hand. The man grabs it back yells and quickly pulls away when he feels a shock. "Oh sorry, wrong hand" he says as he gives him the other one and helps him up. The man stands and walks away. 

Jerome sits back down. "How long before you think they decide to kick us out for being a hassle"? Jerome asks. "Oh I dont know" Barbara says. "This is a fun date though" She says. "Even without the Coffee" she continues. "So glad you are enjoying yourself Miss Keen" Jerome says. Jerome picks up a straw off the table and roles up pieces of a Napkin and tears a piece of paper and puts it in his mouth. "What you doing now"? Barbara asks him. "Spit balls" Jerome says. "How about a friendly compitition" he asks. "Sure, im up" she says. "Whats the Contest" she asks. "we each pick a target and each miss has to put in a dollar, and after 5 misses you lose" Jerome says. "Sounds fun, Whats the first target" she says. "Lets see, lets wait for a waiter to pass again" he says.
