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.

	"I agreed to at least try anywhere you wanted to take me. This is hardly the worst you could have come up with." Its not the strip club again, at the least. "And it has been fun. We'll have to come back here. The food is good too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria kissed his cheek. "You're sweet. We should bring Alina. Maybe I can drag Thomas along. Omg, him doing karaoke would be a riot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
