We made small talk on the way and when we reached the park, Ethan turned his gaze to me, his brows creased as he stared at me questioningly. "Are you hungry?" just then my stomach grumbled, answering the question for me. "Yes, I am" I looked around and saw MacDonald's at the end of the Street. "C’mon let's get some food" he dragged me towards MacDonald's. We entered and sat by the window until a waitress came to us.

Getting to MacDonald's, I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake. Funke ordered a chicken sandwich and orange juice while Liya ordered Fries and coffee. "I hate shopping, it's stressful," I said, massaging my thighs while the two ladies laughed at my predicament. "Come on, what do you think Ethan will do for you? Like a restaurant with candlelight and stuff?" Liya teased while I just huffed. "I don't like restaurants that much; I prefer to sit at my house with a movie and lots of junk food" I smiled as I thought of that perfect date. "Yeah, Ife loves junk food, that's another reason she chose New York to study," Funke told Liya while our food came and we dug in immediately.
