Please Don't Be Mad

A small sigh escapes Jay when Lina calmed him down. He began to look at the menu. A lot of good food. Breakfast was anytime= and lunch and dinner disnt look so bad either. He glanced over to Lina as she looked the menu.

He leans over and whispers: "Go on, get anything you want. My treat." Before going back to his menu.

When asked what the two women did, Beth spoke for them. "Well, I am a doctor. And Lucia used to be a police officer back in the U.S. She retired just a little over a year ago."

Hearing Jay say what the plan was food wise still didn't help make things easier for her. She could still easily get anything on here and any amount of it, but still she didn't want to give a bad impression of herself and she would have some trouble deciding on what and how much of it, which hopefully Jay could pick up on and help her with.

"Oh?" Lina heard about what the ladies did, and heard that Lucia finished up with her line of work. "You don't look old enough to be retirement age. If you don't mind me asking how come you stopped, Lucia?"

"Ah, Lina." Jay says. He points to it on his menu. "Theg have big steaks here. I think I might get one of those. Or one of these pasta bowls. The picture makes them look pretty big." He could see she was struggling. Hopefully she wasnt terribly indecisive.

Lina appealing to Lucia's age made the woman smirk and chuckle."Being in my forties and looking like this is no easy task. I retired because I was shot during a large drug bust. It wasnt anything dangerous, but it did put me out."

"Lucia shows up at the hospital to volunteer and such when she can."

"It'd be boring to stay at home and wait for you" Lucia laughs, giving a small shove to her partner. She then looks to Lina. "If I may ask, how old are you? You dont look to be any older than...25?"

Noticing what Jay pointed out she gave him one of those cute anime girl pleading looks, which she was trying to tell him she wanted both. If Jay told them of the amount of food she could intake and not gain a pound she wouldn't deny it. Her look changed to that of concern and disappointment when she heard what happened with Lucia. “One of my close friends that I manage is also in that line of work…well, still is. Luckily she hasn’t had anything like that happen to her yet. And I’m guessing there was nothing else you could have done to stay on board?”

She is glad to hear that Beth is in the profession where she can help people and that Lucia still tries to help out in a positive way. “Yeah around there” she mentions somewhat modestly when asked about her age.

Smirking, Jay rolled his eyes before nodding and letting Lina have her wish. How could Jay ignore an adorable face like that?

Lucia, meanwhile, shrugged. "Yeah. I tried to, but not that hard." She wasnt going to press age further as it was not kind to ask a woman her age. But to guess was just as dangerous.

A waitress comes up to the table with a pen ready. "Hi! May I take your order? "

"I'll have a steak with red mash potatoes." Jay says
Beth follows up. "I'd like a turkey club, please."
"Can I have a pasta bowl?" Lucia asks.

Lina whispers to Jay, asking him to do the order for her so she doesn't get carried away.  She tries to look innocent about it and let's Jay go ahead, almost not giving him a say in the matter.

Jay wondered what Lina wanted him to do. By that became apparent as she told him. Jay says calmly to the one taking their order, as if it were no big deal: "And the lovely lady would like a steak with a side of mashed potatoes and an alfredo pasta bowl. And that'll be all." Jay glances at Lina to make sure that the order was good.

If it was, they'd hand off the I menus to the woman and she'd be on her way to the kitchen to put in the order.

She smiled at him. Obviously if given the chance to have more she would take it, but that helped for now as she cuddled next to him for a moment.

A smile crosses Jay's lips as she cuddled up next to him, leaning into him a bit. He wrapped an arm around her to keep her close.

"So..." Lucia interrupted. "Just how did you two meet? If it wasn't in a ring, I mean." She says with a small and snide chuckle.

Jay's body tenses up a bit. He didnt think they had a good excuse. They really met when and after Jay was abducted. But, he couldn't tell them that. Hell, he couldn't really tell anyone that. "Uh..." His eyes drift to Lina.

Part of her couldn't remember exactly, though something did come to mind but it didn't sound right so she didn't mention it. "Uhm...it...just, sorta happened?" She looked at Jay and gave him a small shrug, wondering if that would do, though part of her wanted him to think of something more believable. Her facial expression changed to a more curious, but had a small mischievous hint as well. "Saaayy, what about you two? It's not every day two pretty ladies such as yourselves get together then decide to adopt someone like Jay? Even more so what took things so long to find him?" She recalled hearing a little bit about being kidnapped when he was younger, but if he was gone for so long what took them so long to find him, or did they give up and just got lucky one day? She didn't know, but info like this might be good to know, that and it could give Jay time to think of something...or if they were lucky it could cause the women to drop the subject of wanting to know how she and him became to be.
