Almost Made it...

Jason gave her a bit of a smile with the most subtle of possible winks. He would do it again later too, if they choose right. If he could explain it away to onlookers. He knew Fara cheated, but she was Fara. If he got caught it would be a completely different story. His life would be hell, where if she broke up with him Snow wouldn't be angry with him and though there would be resentment between himself and Fara she wouldn't be out to destroy his life quite so much. Then there would be a chance with this girl. The pretty one whose sweetness made up for all the lack of fame. He tried the famous type, he was miserable. He learned the hard way that being attached to someone with a title was not all it was made out to be. He got his own fame without even needing her. The government job, the company, it all earned him the recognition he always wanted on his own merit. That was far better than being "Fara Snow's guy".

"Good. I have a couple of song ideas if you're willing to take a suggestion from me." Jaymis offered, but he wouldn't force her to either. He just looked to the menu to see if they added anything new, curious what there was. He always made sure there wasn't something new to try. He looked up, an interested look on his face. "We could do pizza. What else would you want on it? There's tons of toppings and all." He commented, watching her closely as he did. But he nodded to let her have a bit more time to look.

He decided what he might like if she didn't really want pizza, looking up to listen to what she was saying. He looked curiously with a raised brow. "I like mozzarella sticks too. Though their fries are amazing. And the milkshakes are just wonderful. And they've got this really yummy cheesy bread too, you should try it." She hadn't been here, he'd let her try anything she wanted. Though the begging and hungry look to her partly concerned him.

"Trust me, you won't regret letting me pick." Jaymis said quietly. He could see that she had liked the kiss. He was smart enough to recognize that. He would take the chance if he got it. If she didn't push him away, then he knew he was alright. Of course there was still Fara, but they had plans. Then he didn't really know everything about her. The things he knew weren't even all entirely true. He thought Fara was the only thing between their possibility of dating. But there was more... she was a district girl and he didn't even think that was a possibility.

She seemed far more excited about food than he had ever seen anyone here though. He loved food. Loved eating. But not quite that much. He couldn't help laughing and sitting back to watch her closely. "Okay. We can have a little bit of all of it." He commented with a bit of a further grin toward the pleading look she gave. He leaned forward and set the menu down, a smile across his face. "Anything else you want to try? I'm fine with pepperoni and cheese. And all of the other things I listed too. You really didn't eat anything this morning?" He was really trying not to laugh at her. He got really hungry sometimes and just wanted to eat. "And don't worry about it, I got the bill. Try whatever you want to. It's my treat." He promised her.

She trusted him... most didn't. He gave off that look of troublesome business guy. A liar and deceiver like his father and Fara. But Tinsley trusted him and the young man was very determined to make sure he didn't make her regret it. He couldn't possibly know that he was the one being lied to. Not really, he just thought she was a nervous person. "You can trust me. No regrets. Promise." The man said with a pleasant smile toward her.

Nothing else? Jaymis was prepared to order one of everything just so she could try it. They'd do it for him too, they'd have to really. But she didn't ask for that and Jaymis wasn't going to suggest it either. "It's a pretty long list anyways. Not sure any more would fit on this table. They might have to bring a second one over." He commented with an amused grin at that. He sat back, thinking a bit at that idea. "I don't see where that could be wrong. Except I know this amazing ice cream place if you really want dessert. But the lemonade is amazing and I'd suggest actually their strawberry milkshake. They use real berries for it." Jaymis commented and looked to her with a bright smile. A bit forgetful was she? Oh well, he was making sure that she would make up for her missed meal here.

"Forgetting isn't good for you. But I'm not going to let you stay hungry. That would be rude of me." The young man shrugged to her. He'd order what she asked for without a single complaint, and he did, calling the young man who served the tables over and giving him their list of things to try.

Jaymis smirked widely, shaking his head to her at that. He never ate that much when he came. But then he was sure nobody really even remembered what he ate. It wouldn't matter to anyone else. "At least it isn't just ordered for one person. We just... haven't eaten today." Jaymis shrugged a bit to her and looked back down toward the table as he thought a bit. He really wasn't the type to make connections like her small size and how much food it would be. Why would he? As far as he knew she simply wanted to try everything and anything they could offer. "Any of the stuff we ordered is good, and you're right, I could eat most of it myself. I have a hard time not eating food that is in front of me." He laughed. He ate just about anything he was given.

"Pick one? Well... I guess I don't need to show you everything at once. But... does that mean we will get this again?" Jaymis asked, a curious and almost hopeful look to his face. He would love to do it again. Spend more time with her. Show her more of his favorite places. Though the fact that she hadn't even heard of any of these places. Her family must have been the really stuffy types if they had never visited this stuff. "Promise me that you will come back for a dessert or even just another night of singing. Okay? Real promise?" He held a hand across the table for her to shake on it even. He may have been claimed by Fara, but he wasn't going to miss a chance with Tinsley. He could find ways to make Fara leave if this much nicer girl would really stick around.

"Guess I will just have to keep you from forgetting from now on eh? You'll have to give me your number, I'll remind you of lunch. Maybe even invite you to mine." Jaymis gave a winking smile after he finished ordering their food. "Or maybe just to talk you know... I'm sure we both get busy."

Jaymis looked up carefully, the most curious look to his face. Keep leftovers? Now that was something Fara would never do. It had to be fresh made or else it wasn't good enough for her. Keeping leftovers was for the poor who couldn't afford a real meal every day. Jaymis shrugged after a moment though. "That is a possibility. Or like I said, I could just eat stuff." He chuckled. He at least wasn't upset to think about taking food home. He just knew himself. He gave a slight wink. "Of course you get some. Being here would be quite pointless if you didn't." He commented with a smirk to ber. Why bring her here if he wasn't letting her try the food.

The young man gave a confused look when she didn't shake his hand at firsr, even shaking her head. He glanced down, worried if he had something on him. But instead she linked pinkies with him and promised she would be coming back. He looked up, a joyful sparkle to his blue eyes. "I've... never done the whole pinky promise thing. Father always said shake hands and it's a solid deal. Whatever that means." He mockingly rolled his eyes at the thought. His father wasn't here today and if he wanted to link pinkies with a beautiful girl to make a promise, he would. "And I pinky promise that I will invite you out again. This is really great." He agreed.

Jaymis pleasantly pulled out his phone and found the screen for her to add her number. He was actually quite proud of it, he had the newest version which hadn't even been released yet otherwise. He smiled to her as he held it out to her. "What's so clever? I just want my new friend's phone number so I can talk to her some more." He shrugged innocently. He didn't collect girls' numbers actually. Just the people he enjoyed spending time with.

Jaymis smirked to that and shrugged. He wasn't much bothered by her wanting leftovers, just confused. "I guess that would be easiest. And I know. I'm not normal. That's what makes me amazing." Jaymis grinned and looked up to her. He liked to think that he was a unique one of a kind type anyways. He wanted to be special to someone. He just hadn't found someone who saw him as that special of a thing just yet. He stuck his tongue out right back at her. He could play that game too.

The mention of his father dropped his smile momentarily. Not long, not too much, but somewhat visibly. He looked up and nodded, linking his pinky with hers and lingering for a second. "Well, father never kept his word. He's not around anymore, so I think I can make promises however I want." His grin returned at that though. He wasn't sad about the 'loss' of his father. In fact he was happy about it. But the young man was worried about what she might think if he told her that the man was dead. And that it was his doing that got him killed. He grinned though still and let go of her hand, nodding some to her. "So it's a deal. And this is even more amazing for me. Trust me, it's mutual." He said, getting back to his sparkle eyed smiling self.

Of course he had a nice phone. It would be shameful if he didn't. "Well yeah. This is the newest version. Not yet released to the public. There are perks of being the minister of technology you know." He gave a bit of a wink but willingly let her take if from him. He wanted her number. There was no way he was going to have this great of a day and not find a way to contact her later. It would be purely idiotic of him to do so. "I'm nothing like most guys. At all. Trust me on that part. But I suppose most would just ask for your number. Not very sensitive is it?" He shrugged slightly and reached, taking the phone back from her. He looked curiously to what she had written, interested when she only used her first name but not questioning it. No, it was the number.

"You sure this is the right number?" He asked with a curious look. Jaymis was a technology guy, and one of the first things he did was memorize the district codes for contact numbers. And that one definitely wasn't the Capitol.

Jaymis gave her an amused grin. He was glad someone realized he was something interesting. He wasn't normal. "You know how few actually notice that kind of thing?" He laughed with a slight bit of a shrug at her. "Very few." He answered himself with a grin. His father always called him a waste of time and no better than the rest. His teachers said he was smart but just another cocky ass they'd seen a million times. With Fara he was just another rich boyfriend for the pictures. It was good that someone else saw him as more. Even if it was just off of one day.

He met his gaze with hers, grinning once more despite the conversation remaining on his father. "He never kept his word and he died for it. So I suppose the punishment for breaking a pinky promise is even worse." Jaymis commented with an almost dark look behind the smile as he commented about his father. But it faded as quickly as it came and he sat back again. He wasn't going to explain that one further either. "I won't be breaking the promise. I couldn't hurt a beautiful girl like you." He commented.

"My fancy title is what can afford all of this lunch you want so hush. And if you really want I could get you a fancy phone too." Jaymis looked to her with a cheesy grin, curious if she'd take the offer. He wasn't attempting to bribe her but he sure could have looked like it. He just wanted to make a bit of a positive offer. It wasn't like he could buy anything for Fara, he just had to hand it to her anyways. There was no reason to purchase for someone who could just have anything she wanted at the snap of her fingers. Tinsley didn't seem like that sort. She sure wasn't on the just hand stuff over for free list. He grinned cheesily to her commented as he waited for her to put her number in. "I won't call or message obsessively like other guys would either." He assured her.

The young man didn't know what to think of the number. He knew very well what all of the numbers meant. At least the ones with meaning anyways. He lifted his gaze from the screen, shaking his head at that. "No. Not that. Just, maybe you made a mistake." He commented, rubbing his hand through his hair for a moment. He didn't know what to say. If it really was hers then the information those first three numbers gave meant a whole lot. Mainly for the legality of this little friendship. And her existence here in this room. He looked to her, quiet and trying to decide how to bring it up. "Awfully far from home, aren't you?" He asked, his voice quiet as he set the phone down. He tried his best not to show any real worry. He was worried about what it could mean, but that didn't change the way he looked at her. Not like he thought it should change things anyways. It was weird. It was honestly confusing.

He looked up to the waiter as he put food down. "Thank you." He said politely with a bit of a nod. He reached to take a piece of the pizza quietly.
