A much needed snack (246 views)

Once the waiter had disappeared the grab their drinks, Leanna smiled at Ethan. "No problem, it's nice to go out with someone! I only ever go out with my twin." She replied with a giggle.
"Ooh a mural? You'll have to show me sometime!" She added with a smile. Everything was working out nicely so far, the waiter returned with their beers and Leanna nodded in thanks.

"Your food will be out shortly." The waiter reassured. Leanna took the beer and took a long sip. Beer was one of her preferred drinks, but she was a sucker for the mixed drinks too. "I'm game to talk about anything, but hmm...how about some basic questions for now! What's your favorite color, ooh and what kind of music do you like?" She asked.

Leanna thoughtfully took another swig of her beer. Ethan was nice to talk to, and it was refreshing to hang out with someone other than Elyana or Lynn - as much as she loved those girls, she needed to expand her horizons with friends.

"Blue green is a pretty color, and that sounds awesome! Won't it be too dark to see your mural though?" She asked curiously as the waitress came around with their food. A grin spread across Leanna's face when she smelled her food. She had almost zoned out completely on Ethan's question.

Taking a bite from her food, she chewed and swallowed before answering, "Like am I romantically seeing someone? No, I don't really have time for that kind of stuff." Leanna admitted. Sometimes she wondered if she would ever be able to maintain a relationship.

"That would be nice! I'd just have to find time to go out. I'm always too busy." Leanna replied with a frown, taking a bite of her food then a sip of her beer. It was half-way done and she decided to order another one when the waiter brought around Ethan's second beer. She didn't want to give this guy some sense of false hope that she would be able to maintain a relationship. Well a steady one at least.

She finished off her first beer, feeling a bit of a rush from chugging the bitter drink. "Sure, I'll shoot you a text next time I'm free!" Leanna replied happily, taking a bite of a french fry.

"Alright, but I'm just telling you know that I probably won't have time for an actual relationship or anything." Leanna reminded. She wasn't one to lead people on. Leanna shot Ethan a pretend annoyed look when he grabbed one of her fries, "You're a meanie for taking my fries!" She teased, sticking her tongue out at him as the waitress came by with their bill.

She watched as Ethan paid, "I'll leave the tip." She offered.

"Alright awesome." Leanna replied grabbing her purse and taking out some singles to leave for a tip. She then took another sip of her beer and frowned. It was just one date, was she ready to jump into the commitment of a relationship? "We'll see how it goes. We can text and stuff, I'm just not sure if I'm ready for a relationship." She replied honestly.

"And we barely know each other." Lenana added with a shrug.

"I'm fine with getting to know each other and being friends." Leanna assured with a smile. Who knew, maybe from there something could happen.

Taking the number Leanna put it into her phone and sent Ethan a text so he could save her number. "Sure I'd love a ride back." She replied, it was a little too dark for her to feel comfortable walking back to her dorm alone.
She finished up her food and gathered her items.

"Ready when you are!"
