She shrugged "Wasn't too bad, I could tell that there was a little heat, but it wasn't bad." She turned to the burger and grinned "Now, to try this."

He started to eat his food "how do you do that? eat something spicy," he shook his head "I could never."

"Spicy food is the best, along with anything even remotely sweet." She grinned "It took me a while to get used to spicy things, but you get used to it eventually." She picked up the burger carefully and studied it, still grinning.

He shook his head "mmm, no I'm good, is there a word for people who are anti spicy? Cuz I think I'm one."

She laughed lightly "My siblings and mom would agree with you, my dad loves spicy food." She took a big bite of the burger and shrugged.

"you have siblings? how many?" he asked, eating his shrimp and spitting it out, grabbing the water that was next to him "Lindsey….."

"Two brothers, James who's older than me by two years and Toby, who's younger than me by two and a half years." She said, taking another bite of her burger. She raised an eyebrow when she saw him spit out the shrimp, "What's wrong?" She asked.

he gulped down half the cup "she..put..something..spicy…in them." he managed. Once his mouth wasn't burning, he turned to her "that's cool, do they live around here?"

She nodded "James is going to college in Oregon but Toby goes to the same college as me." She chuckled slightly and looked at the shrimp, "How spicy are they?"

he shoved the plate towards her "ghost pepper…and ths great that you all are in college. what are they majoring in?"

She grinned and set her burger down, taking one of the shrimp, "James is going for something in the engineering fiend I think, and I have no clue about Toby," She took a bite and shrugged, her mouth slowly growing hotter, "These, have a little spice." She said, hiding a small cough.

"a little?" He looked at her in astonishment "you'll be fine with the gohst pepper"

"By a little I mean more than a little," She coughed again quietly and felt her face grow a pale red, "I'm excited to see what the actual pepper tastes like."

Lindsey came over with two glasses of water and a grin "how's the food you two?" Jasper glared at her "fantastic." He cracked a smile "you jerk,"
"Ah now Jassie, no calling me names in front of your girlfriend, we don't want to disappoint her." Lindsey skipped away to grab another plate of shrimp, returning shortly "here ya go."

Scarlett laughed lightly, watching the two of them joke. She picked her burger back up and continued eating, smiling at Jasper lightly.

"Thank you," he said with a smile glancing over at Scarlet, "I think she wasted the spice on my shrimp instead of on your burger."

"I can tell that there is a little spice, but it's really not bad." She said with a smile, almost finished with the burger, "it's nothing like the spice on the shrimp."

He popped one in his mouth and nodded "they're good." he smiled "you sure you want to be eating something spicy right before you're going to eat a ghost pepper?"

Scarlett nodded, finishing off the burger, "It'll get me ready to eat the pepper." She smiled and looked at him, "Is it true that the seeds are the spiciest part?"

He nodded "yeah the seeds and the core." He searched it on his phone and showed it to her "have fun with that."

"I'm going to try to just eat it in one bite," She said, looking at his phone with a small nod, "I'm ready to try it, as soon as I get a a gallon of milk just in case." She leaned back on her chair and looked around with a excited smile.

He looked up at her in worry "1 gallons not going to cut it," he smiled "desert?" He asked

She chuckled and shrugged "I mean, I'm not going to say no to desert, but it's up to you." She said, smiling "A gallon of milk isn't going to be enough?"

he shrugged "It wouldn't be enough for me, maybe for you." he nodded and order the chocolate lava cake from Lindsey "My all-time favorite," he told her "literally to die for and then come back to life."

"I don't doubt it, just the name makes it sound amazing." She glanced at him, "So, where can you get ghost peppers? Do they sell them in stores?" She looked at the table and pulled out her wallet, leaving it in her lap for later.

"you make it sound like a drug deal," he shook his head smiled "no I have a friend who does these world record things," He glanced at the wallet "no need for paying for it, Lindsey owes me for a bet we made a while back."

She laughed lightly, "Yup, it's deffinetly a drug deal." She said sarcastically, fiddling with the edge of her wallet, "You sure? I don't mind paying."

He shook his head "no, me and Lindsey made a deal, if I brought a girl before she did to the restaurant, she'd owe me a free dinner." he said glancing up at Lindsey as she came by with the cake "right cus?"
She nodded "yep, this ones on me." she winked at them both

"Alright then, happy to help you." She put her wallet away and looked at the cake, a small grin on her face, "That looks absolutely amazing."

"Made it myself," Lindsey said as she walked away
He smiled and took a bite "definitely the best." he said with a small groan of content
