Amon was the first to guide Rebecca to sit down; he knew she was pretty used to places like this because in the past, during high school and early college days, he wouldn't care about the cost and brought everyone in their circle to study or if they had a class project in the past.
"Do you still like the sa things? This place only does light als; it was a little sudden, so that I couldn't arrange anything better."
He smiled, moving to his side of the table and sitting down and tapping on the ordering tablet; his experienced fingers ordered the things he rembered that she liked most, so that Rebecca would refuse due to their price in the pace.
"It's pricey..." She said with a soft voice and a slightly apologetic smile.
The prices were relatively high for an average family; so were over $100 for a simple sandwich platter and drink, but these costs were nothing for Amon.
"Don't worry; I've already ordered most of the things you used to like but never ordered."
"Thank you, but don't spend too much money..."
"Haha, don't worry; it's not like I'll ask for your body in return. I've already ordered them alone, so please feel free to eat what you wish to try. Otherwise, it'll be wasted." Seeing her cheeks turn pink at his words; he grinned as he placed his hand over hers, causing her to blush more.
"What? It's just that I want to see how your taste has changed, and I know you haven't tried most of the more expensive food here before."
"You're right. I haven't tried anything here except for the sandwiches."
"Well, now that I've placed the order, care to tell what that ssage was about? You worried ; you ghosted and shut out of your life for your boyfriend. Now you need help?" He winked at her as he placed his hands on the table, resting his elbows on the edge.
Rebecca blushed deeply and averted, "Yeah... well, I'm sorry... He always saw you as so threat; I an, I understand... you were my first kiss and a few other things... but... I told him my problem, and he keeps delivering pizza... spending his wages on those stupid gotcha gas with the lewd pictures of ani girls.."
Her posture beca more relaxed as he listened to her pouring out her woes; although they didn't touch on the main subject, he pushed over the warm cocoa with one sugar and caral syrup which she always loved, so she could hydrate and take a breather.
"I guess there's trouble in paradise after all? How does he know we did things, though? I would have been fine if you never told him. So n are obsessed with being a woman's first for everything.."
Bzzt-Bzzt!
Amon's phone began to vibrate in a specific pattern; this was his mother's ssage, so he lifted his hand with an apologetic smile.
"Alice?" Rebecca's voice sounded as if she sounded a little strange, maybe jealous of the current situation, but Amon wouldn't read too far into the mood of a woman on the edge of collapse.
"Nah, not that woman, it's my mother. She tells my maid picked up the contracts for my new business."
