[ For a moment, Jesse looks like nothing so much as a deer in the headlights, freezing and staring at Harley with wide, alarmed eyes. He definitely isn't setting out to break anyone's heart, and certainly not hers - he's a soft enough touch that he always feels like shit if things don't work off and he ends up having to break things off, however gently, especially if the girl he's trying to let down easy turns on the waterworks. Still, it's a lot for the morning after a new hookup, especially when breakfast hasn't even been served yet.
Luckily, it's only a few seconds of torture before Harley starts laughing, and Jesse relaxes (slightly), shaking his head and glancing bashfully down at the empty table. One thing's for sure, he's not taking any chances crossing Flo. ]
Ha, ha...
[ It's a little weak, as responses go, but he can't help glancing up at Harley with an affectionate smile, despite his sudden nerves. And by the time their coffee and food arrives, he's fully prepared to focus on breakfast again. The coffee's as good as Harley had promised, nice and strong, but it's the plates piled high with food that has Jesse's eyes going wide again, in wonder this time. ]
Holy shit...
[ It all looks amazing, and Jesse doesn't bat an eye when Harley picks up a piece of bacon and dips it in a pool of syrup on her plate. Instead, he grins, immediately picking up a piece of his own bacon to follow suit. ]
Oh man...that tastes fuckin' awesome.
[ Seriously, how has he never tried that before? The piece of bacon's gone in two more bites and Jesse digs into his pancakes, shooting Harley another grin. ]
This place kicks ass. Way better than Waffle House.
