Trust me, you'll have fun
Maria's efforts to get Jon to relax and have fun continued. It was Thursday and it was their night out and Maria had come up with something new for them to do. Karaoke. She'd bet a million dollars that he had never done karaoke in his life, or even been to a place where they had karaoke. It was time to introduce the Boyscout to karaoke.

She waited outside for him to show up.

	Maria laughed. "Then it means I'm doing something right. I like to keep people on their toes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kissed his cheek and stood up. Her name was just called for a song. "Good to know." She laughed and then went up to sing "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That... seems to have caught him off guard, yep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria finished her song and bounced back to the table. She grinned at Jon as she slid into her chair. "Your turn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He quirks a brow at her, but nods. He has to put another song in - but seems fine with that. Its not all that long before he's doing a pretty impressive rendition of Three Doors Down's Kryptonite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria got a good chuckle from his choice of songs. She cheered and clapped the loudest when he was done. "I like your song choice," she said when he got back to the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Figured you might approve. And despite everything, I kind of like the song." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria chuckled. "It doesn't surprise me much. Had enough for one night, or do you want more?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like our nights out. So far, anyhow. I'm game for sticking around, unless you have something else in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mouth was not allowed to say what brain was thinking. It was a rare time her brain to mouth filters were working. "We can do a few more songs. Get some food while we wait for our turns." Maria smiled. "I like our nights out too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-09-12 03:29 am UTC (link)
	He catches her expression even so, and just rolls his eyes. He's used to her lack of filters by now. "Food sounds like a great idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nudged him with an elbow at the eye roll. She was trying. "What are you in the mood for? It's on me." Okay, so she couldn't totally behave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He chuckles. the eye roll was mostly in jest. Now that he's getting used to her, he doesn't mind so much. He still blushes - but its all part of the entertainment package.

"On you? Ok. Whipped cream." he responds, giving it a moment for that to sink in. Her mouth filter may be on - but he can still play too now and then - and has to catch her off guard now and then.

He grins a little more after a moment, and adds, "Since that's not on the menu though, the cheeseburger and fries looks great."

	"Okay...wait a minute. Back up the bus there. Did you just...." Her brain caught up. That took a little bit off guard. Okay a lot off guard. "Well it's on the menu if you tell me you're no longer dating Alina." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-09-12 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	He laughs. "Sorry, still dating Alina. I just had to see the expression on your face. You were trying so hard to be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria gave him a playful punch to his shoulder, which did nothing to him and hurt her hand. "I /was/ being good too." She shook her head. "I'll go put in our order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I owe you one," she said and went off to the bar to order their food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-09-12 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	All things considered, he seems ok with this. Probably has something to do with the fact she'd be trying to get him back whether he'd said anything or not. She may try and be good now and then, no question, but sooner or later, either the filters would fail, or she'd run out of tolerance for not getting into mischeif. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria placed their order and then stopped over at the karaoke table to put in a new song before returning to the table. "Miss me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-09-12 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course." he agrees, having gotten them another round of drinks while she was gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-09-12 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh huh," she said with a smile. "I ordered you a double cheeseburger and a large fry." Maria got the same. He may be a growing boy, but she did have three jobs to keep up to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2012-09-12 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	"You know my tastes, apparently. Perfect." he replies. Not that he's terribly difficult where favorite foods are concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-09-12 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	"I do," she said. Maria was an astute observer. Bruce's influence was quite apparent . She liked to think she had him mostly figured out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
