chapter 2

It's been 2 weeks of Jonah coming up to order from me. Always a medium Carmel Frappe.

"Morning Jonah." I say as he comes up to order this morning.

"Good morning Ezra." He replies blushing.

"Medium Carmel Frappe?" I ask.

"Yes, and, I was wondering if you wanted to go out for lunch today?" He asks.

"Of course! I'm off in an hour, so where will I meet you?" I ask.

"Um, I'll just stay here and drink my drink and read, then we can go?" He offers.

"Of course!" I respond. What. Just. Happened? I'm going on a lunch date with Jonah?!

I work for the past hour until I get let out. I put on my jacket and walk over to the table that Jonah is sitting at.

"Ezra, you ready?" He says as I approach him.

"Yes." I answer.

We leave Starbucks together and
walk.

"Where would you like to eat?" Jonah asks.

"Anywhere, I have only been in America for a month so I don't really know my way around." I respond.

"Ahh, where did you move here from?" He asks.

"San Marino, Italy." I respond.

"Lovely place, I've been there with my family for a vacation." He says blushing.

"I love it there, I've just been there 18 years and wanted to see what was outside of Italy, what's a better place than NYC?" I say, we both giggle.

"Well since you're new here let's start at a cheap place? Like McDonalds?" Jonah suggests.

"I'd love to!" I respond.

As we walk we talk a bit.

"Let's get the classic McNuggets and fries."Jonah says. I agree and Jonah goes up to pay.

When he comes back we eat and talk.

"Do you have siblings?" I ask.

"Yes, I have a brother named Zebulon and a sister named Esther. Do it you have any?" Jonah asks.

"Yes, a sister named Abrina and a brother named Gabriele." I respond.

"Is every Italian name beautiful?" Jonah asks.

"I haven't heard one that isn't." I say and we both laugh.

"I was wondering if, um, I could have your number?" Jonah asks blushing.

"Of course, want me to put it in your phone?" I respond.

"Yes, and i'll put mine in yours?" Jonah says.

We swap phones and give eachother our numbers.

"Would you like me to walk you home?" Jonah asks. I look at the time, 7:34pm.

"Oh yes! Thanks." It's dark and cold outside.

"I hope we can do this again soon." Jonah says.

"Me too." I respond. We walk in silence enjoying each others company until we get to my apartment.

"Well, text me tonight or whenever you feel." Jonah says one we stand at my front door #407.

"Of course, thanks for the best day since i've been in America." I respond.

"No problem. See you tomorrow morning Ezra." Jonah says.

"You too, Jonah." I respond.
