Mark sat in the dimly lit restaurant, playing with a napkin as he waited for his food to arrive. He sat in a booth by himself, staring absentmindedly at he other empty seats. It wasn't crowded tonight, which wasn't surprising considering that it was a Monday night, but Mark didn't seem to mind the quiet. His waiter, a blonde haired Swedish man named Felix came to check up on him, and reassured him that his food would be out in a moment.

The waiter was indeed right, and Mark throughly enjoyed the food that he ate, though when it came time to pay, he panicked. He patted himself down looking for his wallet, though much to his dismay, he couldn't find it. It was when Felix came back to get the payment, that Mark sheepishly admitted his mistake.

"I, uh... I don't have my wallet...." Mark mumbled out, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"You don't?" The blonde asked, surprised.

"I seem to have left it at home. I would go get it, but then that would arise the suspicion that I wouldn't come back. I mean, I would, but you know..."

"Yes, I definitely agree with that, but just wait here a second and I'll go see what I can do." The blue eyed waiter rushed off to another part of the restaurant, where he stopped a cute looking green haired waiter. They talked for a few seconds, the blonde pointing over to Mark, who gave a little wave. After a few more seconds, the waiter came back over. "You don't happen to be single, do you?"

Mark choked on his spit and stared at the blonde wide eyed, who seemed unfazed by Mark's response. "I uh... I am, actually." Mark finally managed to sputter out.

"Perfect. The green haired waiter I was talking to just a second ago is single as well, and you seem like a pretty nice guy, so I'd be willing to pay for your meal if you take him out on a date."

Mark thought for a moment. Was there any down side here? The green haired boy was pretty cute... "Sure, I'd love to." Mark finally replied.

The blonde haired waiter looked like he was going to bust with happiness. "Ok then, I'll bring Jack over in just a second. His shift is almost over anyway."

With that, Felix sauntered away, hurrying off to find the green haired man. "Jack, huh?" Mark though to himself. "Well, that is a pretty cute name..."
