#DinnerandaShow

So somehow, my mother let Jay’s comment about the baby go, meaning she totally knew. Technically, it had been my secret to share, but in this one case I was glad he had spilled the beans. It was a chicken way out and I’m sure she’d mention it at some point in the future, but in the meantime, she was a happy grandmother-to-be, and that worked for me.

Reservations meant a table in the back of The Diner. The only other restaurant was open sort of kind of on a schedule when they felt like it. They overcharged for weddings and didn’t seem to be too concerned about the rest.

I loved The Diner. I really did. But it was far from romantic. Not that I needed to woo or be wooed, but still. Heck, my cousin took his omega on their first date to my mom’s house and had her cook for them and then hightail it out of there. Not that I should judge, it totally worked.

All heads turned our way as we walked into The Diner. Not that we could be missed, seeing as how my aunt or cousin or possibly Reid had the booth decorated with flowers and a tablecloth. Blending wasn’t an option.

“So, is this normal?” Jay quirked an eyebrow as we settled into our seats.

“Dates at The Diner? Yeah, pretty much the only place to eat unless Francesca’s decides to open. Honestly, this tastes hella better.”

“More the fancy setup.” He didn’t mention our built-in audience, which I appreciated.

“Naw. That was all my family. They kind of rock.”

“What are you drinking, fellas?” Marsha, the evening waitress asked. I hadn’t even noticed her coming over.

“Ginger ale, please.” What I wanted was coffee, but I knew once I smelled it that desire would be over.

“Same for me,” Jay answered as she looked his way.

The lighting in The Diner was butt awful, but he still managed to looked movie star amazing with his slight scruff, his deep-brown eyes, and that jawline begging to be nibbled.

“I’m not taking your order because your mama—she had plans.” Marsha winked at me before turning her eyes back to Jay and blushing slightly. I couldn’t blame her. He was hot as Hades. “But you will eat soon.”

And then she stood there just staring at Jay as if she asked a question needing answering. She had not.

“Works for me. You?” Jay directed things back to me after answering her non-question.

“Works for me, too.” I wasn’t hungry, even though I knew I should eat.

And with my response, she walked away, presumably to get our food.

Jay reached across the tabletop, placing his hand on mine. It’d been a long time since I’d been out on a date, a real date, much less had someone be affectionate with me in public like that. I liked it. A lot.

“So, your stomach?” I must’ve looked perplexed, because I was, and he immediately tacked on, “I mean, with the ginger ale. Is it bad?”

“It comes and goes.” And that was when it clicked that I hadn’t felt any queasiness all afternoon.
