"You’re already different I’ve never taken any of the the to wear if I saw theh for you, then I’ll just have to work harder to convince you that I’et into your panties"
"I’ people to stay around," I ad to happen here We don’t know each other well enough yet But I do know that I illing to risk Aubrey’s wrath just by taking you to dinner tonight She’d haveThat’s one worry you can cross off your list"
"You talked to your sister?" I asked, feeling a little better about the night and his intentions if that was true
"If by talking you rilled me, then yes"
"Okay," I whispered and reached up to kiss hiht "Right, let’s get date nu!"
Wein hiine and pulled out of the parking lot It was hard to believe that I was on a date with Jackson If soo, I would have laughed o, I would have said no way because I couldn’t have i interested in me Noas just happy to be here with him and a little scared by how heme?" I asked since he had not answered the question earlier
"How do you feel about Japanese food? I wanted to take you to one of rill, but it has sushi too," he answered, sounding like an excited kid
"You’re favorite place, huh?" I teased
"Yup Good food and lots of it Plus the chefs put on a bit of a shohile they’re cooking My parents used to take us there for er, and it’s always been kind of a special place forto hiht, and the date had barely started I definitely needed to stay onhard for him So I just smiled in response and fiddled with the radio I wasn’t surprised to find it set to an XM station that was all about rock ‘n’ roll I let the music roll over ot there pretty fast, and it was quickly obvious that Jackson hadn’t been exaggerating about coreeted us with a big srabbed two menus and walked us to a station in the corner where nobody else was seated It was odd because all the other ones were packed with people "Your waiter will be with you shortly," she said before walking away
She wasn’t kidding either The waiter showed up before I could even get my coat settled on the chair He had a tray with a thite containers, glasses, and cups on it that he placed in front of us I easily recognized the first as a teapot but wasn’t sure about the other flask-like one he had brought
"What’s this?" I asked Jackson
"Sake You can’t experience Japanese food without trying it," he answered as he poured us each a drink I took a small sip, not sure what to expect "What do you think?"
"I’ve never tried it before, but it’s good Different than I expected since the only time I’ve ever seen was it in sake bo the sake you serve at the bar to this is like co Popov vodka to Ketel One," he explained
As I sipped my sake, the chef rolled a cart to the table I looked around the restaurant, surprised to see him at our table already Nobody else had been seated with us, which was really strange We also hadn’t ordered, but he see with him to make our dinner
Jackson must have noticed my confused expression because he nodded his head at the chef before leaning towards me so he could whisper in my ear "I hope you don’t mind, but I asked for a favor when I made the reservation"
