Jinno:" you want to eat I can tell Hazel and Sam are my two eating machines here "

Sam:" well that's cool we're having a whole menu then"

Jinno:" well I have to star cooking then"

Hazel:" do you need help?"

Jinno:" oh sweetheart thank you but I have many workers now so they will help me don't bother"

Hazel:" as you like , you can call me whenever you need help"

Jinno:" thank you "

Nathaniel at this moment , admiring this girl who's totally took his mind, smiling at her, Hazel saw him then smiled back at him , Leo being all shocked about his cousin and his friend for being this hungry and scared for his money, Lia and Sam looking to each other and talking about their next date.

After eating everything in the menu , Leo and Sam start to push Hazel to the karaoke that was on the restaurant .

Leo:" you will do well stop resisting you know we can carry you to the scene ?! "

Sam:" ooh maybe she's shy because of Nathaniel"

Leo:" well I understand she's a shy person around her crush "

Sam:" I know that's why we have to show him that's she's a good singer "

Leo:" to impress him .. no need to did you see how he looks at her she's probably his crush too"

Sam:" oh I didn't notice"

Leo:" of course you didn't you were being all lovey dovey with Lia"

Hazel:" yes I can tell ..... and what do you mean by the way he looks at me???"

Leo:" well I can tell if a boy is liking a girls by the way he looks at her believe me sis he likes you".

Hazel:" Leo are you being serious now ? what should I do ??"

Sam:" relax just sing! your stress goes whenever you sing so just do it"

Hazel glared at them then sais :" I hate you"

Leo:" we love you too"

She took the mic , and starts singing " Lost on you by Lp " it was one of Nathaniel's favorite songs, she starts singing all good that everyone on the restaurant stared at her , her voice, face , and smile matche in a good way that Nathaniel almost lost his mind, when she arrived at a part of a song she didn't stop looking at Nathaniel they made a long eye contact " I'm lost on you ", she broke the eye contact after feeling her cheeks getting hot, after a while she finished , everyone started to clap their hand , she was so happy and thanked everyone.

Hazel: *with a wide smile*" thank you "

Leo:" this is my sister!"

Sam:" see you did it so well"

Lia:" I was lost on your voice not gonna lie"

Nathaniel:" it was just amazing it was perfect like really perfect "

Hazel:" thank you really thank you all"

Leo:" well we have to ho or else you two * pointing at Sam and Hazel* will eat all the restaurant"

Hazel:" hahaha calm down I'm full but yes we need to go "

They went out of the restaurant Sam went with Lia to walk her home, Leo, Nathaniel and Hazel went on their way together .

Leo:" hey guys I had a phone call I have to go now Hazel say hi to untie for me , and Nate take care of her okay "

Nathaniel:" don't worry she will be fine"

Leo:" see you"

Hazel:" see ya"

Nathaniel and Hazel walked together slowly talking about everything and nothing when Hazel suddenly spoke out of nowhere.

Hazel:" Nate I like you"

Nathaniel and her stopped walking and stared at each others eyes

Nathaniel:" what?"

Hazel:" I like you .... a lot"

Nathaniel:" well that's weird but I like you too , you're beautiful, smart , so kind and everything I dreamed in a girl "

Hazel:" same goes for you you're so cute , kind with me , I know sometimes I easily like a person but I felt something different with you "

Nathaniel:" for me too , but let's take the things slowly okay"

Hazel:" yes sure !"
