" I didn't really. They picked me. My biochemistry professer picked me to be his assistant with him and his wife. I was the star pupil. not only for my age but my easy understanding of the genetic code when it was fused with the ebola virus. That was my winning thesis. I was engrosed with the labratory equipment they gave us then that as they say was history from then on. I know you dislike them but for me can you try and be less anal on your veiw of Umbrella?" she asked him softly. Gently caressing his arm. This technique was old as time for women. Turning her head to him to look as sad as possible. Another thing she picked up during high school, acting.

"Fine..." He said frowning in his mind. He then pulled in to the parking lot and exited the vehicle. He then ran around to the other side of the car and opened the door for Sola. "Welcome to the restaraunt." He said with a jokely smile on his face.

" I remember that song now!" she exclaimed while taking Jack's hand and stepped out. " Proud Mary by CCR". Blushing a little after a few people gave her a weird look or two. " Let's go" she told him. and quickly entered the building. " Um could we get a table for two?" she asked the man upfront.
(( for once writers block ))

Jack gave her a weird look as well before they entered. The man at the reception desk nodded and a waitress was quick to come and lead them to their table. The waitress was quite aged. The old waitress that used to come here quit. Jack still remembers flirting with her... more than once, and once getting a pain in his groin.

Once seated Sola began singing softly. " Stop! in the name of love Before you break my heart
Baby, baby Im aware of where you go Each time you leave my door I watch you walk down the street Knowing your other love youll meet But this time before you run to her Leaving me alone and hurt (think it over) after Ive been good to you? (think it over) after Ive been sweet to you?" as it would happen the waitress came up a tthat moment. " Singing to your sweetie pie?" she teased playfully. " So you two love birds what can I get you?" winking at Jack. Sola's blush had deepened a little more after that sweetie pie comment. " Were not... I mean he's not my..." she was stumbling trying to explain what their relationship really was.

Jack gave an obvious confused look to both the waitress and Sola. "We're.. Not together.." He said as his fingers began to tap on the table. He does that to calm himself before he gets nervous, Sola would know this. Jack never blushes, just taps annoyingly to stop it.

" I'll have the chicken ceaser salad and a glass of water" she told the waitress after she felt sure the blush was gone from her cheeks. She merely looked over at Jack and smiled weakly. Trying to pretend looking busy while looking through her purse for something in the mean time. ' That was embarassing' she thought to herself.

'Heh...' He thought, trying not to burst out in laughter. After a few minutes of pulling himself together as he looked through the menu. He then decided to order. "Philly Cheese Steak, medium rare." He usually ordered that. Though he used to wink at the waitress after the order, this time he didn't since this lady was not only old, but he didn't know her.

After Jack had order the woman left then. " That was... soo embarassing" she said aloud. " So if we go to that Karoake place what song will you sing while your half drunk?" she asked him hoping the change in subject will cover up the rising tension between then and lower the embarassment.

Jack smirked, also feeling the embarrisment. "I'm a genie in a bottle." He said jokingly as his finger stopped tapping. He would love to ask her what she would sing but she would problem name a thousand songs then force herself to pick one.

" Honestly I'd either sing Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin or What's Love got to do with it by Tina Turner" she told with. She knew he wouldn't ask since she was more of a music fanatic then he was. " Both famous songs by both very talented woman. Or I could sing with you, mabye Proud Mary?" she teased him. No wonder some people thought they were a couple they constantly teased another.

Jack then stuck his hand in her face. "Ya know what, talk to the hand, it might be the only one to find your jokes funny." He teased back, waiting patiently for the food which might take a while since it seems the place was full of people.

" Great we have no one to sing for their engagement proposul" murmured another waiter. " Seems like they have problems" she said lowly to Jack. " Bu then again it's not our problem now is it?" she said rhetorically to him. " Sometimes I want to question your sexuality" she said to him in a semi-serious tone. Soon after the waitress brought their food. " Thank you" she told the older woman.

"Pfft." He replied then his meal was set down. He looked at the couple and laughed. "Hell, sing your heart out if you must." He said to Sola, merely playing with his food as he moved one chunk from side to side with his fork.

" Alright then I will. Homo" she sneered at him. Walking over towards the band near the front of the place. She quietly spoke to them. Nodding then was handed a microphone. " Alright, unfortunately the band who was suppose to come tonight are obviously not here tonight so I hope I can take thier place. This is for Frank and his beautiful girlfriend Maria" she spoke softly.
The piano began it's tune slowly. "It's an old Aretha Franklin classic. And every woman should feel this way." she smiled. Then it began.
" Lookin out on the morning rain (Ah-ooo) I used to feel so uninspired (Ah-ooo) And when I knew I had to face another day (Ah-ooo) Lord it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you Life was so unkind But your love the key to my piece of mind
Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel Like a natural woman (woman)
When my soul was in the lost and found You came along to claim it I didn't know just what was wrong with me Till your kiss helped me name it Now I'm no longer doubtful Of what I'm livin for And if I make you happy I don't need to do more
Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
Oh baby what you done to me! (What you done to me!) You make me feel so good inside (Good inside) And I just wanna be (Wanna be) Close to you You make me feel so alive
You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
You make me feel (hey) You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman) You make me feel (hey) You make me feel..." at the peak of the song she let her voice over take her. Sola took a breif look over to her friend then let her gaze slip back to the happy couple.
