After they had finished their meal, it was almost 7 p.m.
Jack generously paid the entire bill, including a 20% tip, bringing the total to around 9K€.
“Actually, I would have fought with you to pay the bill, but you see “Yana showing off her wrist, which had the rose gold rolex added. “I tried to match someone with an expensive purchase.”
” oh! Yes, it matched well, but now we look more like an old couple who’s dating for 5-6 year’s,” Jack looking at the female version of his watch said.
“Well, is that a problem?” Yana asked curiously.
“I think it’s a good thing?” Jack replied with a little blush.
“Ehehe, you’re cute,” Yana said, then she walked downstairs; her face was flushed red.
“Am I?” Jack was as if stupified with a red bottle in hand; usually calm and collected, he was actually drunk. As Yana had to drive, she didn’t drink the wine too much; Jack, on the other hand, drank three glasses.
There’s still a lot of wine left, so Jack had to take it back. He was actually enjoying the time with Yana.
“Come, let’s go; I’ll drop you off at your apartment,” Yana said, then she sat on the driving seat.
“Alright, I don’t like the feeling of passing out when I am drunk,” Jack said.
“Well, you’re not going to pass out; slowly your alcohol tolerance capacity will increase; now sit down like the good boy you are.” Yana noticed that Jack was not coming down from the restaurant gate, so she held his hand, pushed him into the passenger seat, and locked the seat belt.
“I’ll show you the way; it’s in schwabing,” Jack said, he was a little happy.
“Alright, we’ll go there,” Yana said as she started to drive towards Jack’s new apartment.
“So what kind of car do you want?” Yana who was driving asked.
“Like you suggested, I want a SUV; it’s beautiful, and as a first car, it should be more than good enough for me,” Jack said while enjoying the breeze from the open window.
“Correct decision. So what’s your budget?” Yana inquired; she was curious. She wanted Jack to have something good to drive, like a vehicle under the 60K€ range, a BMW X3.
Jack pulled out his phone to check his account balance.
[Balance: 299,900€]
“300,000 €. That’s my budget,” Jack confidently said.
*Screeeeeeech*
Yana pulled a sudden break after hearing the budget Jack was talking about; the car behind her was honking mad, but she didn’t care. She was just staring at Jack’s unflinching face.
“That’s more than what my car costs,” Yana was shocked.
“Drive,” Jack calmly stated to Yana, asking her to drive first.
“I want to have a nice car; that’s why,” Jack said, while pleased himself with shocking Yana.
“Well, who are you exactly?” Yana asked; she wanted to know if Jack’s father was a secret billionaire.
*RingRing* *RingRing*
Jack wanted to answer Yana, but his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
Jack received the call.
“Hello?””
“Is it Jack Williams?”
“Yes, speaking, who is it?
“I am Helen from the Australian Embassy; we are very sorry to disturb you, but can you come to the embassy? As an Australian, you have some explaining to do.”
Jack was now a little scared. Was it his too much money spending that was the problem?
“Well, I am also a German, so” Jack tried to warn them or hint them they can’t do anything to him here.
” Sir, We understand. That’s why we want you here to explain. You have to come here to Berlin. The Ambassador has asked for your presence whenever you can by the end of this week. You just have to inform us a day earlier,” Helen said in a very casual tone.
“Can you tell me what’s this about?” Jack was a little restless.
” Sir, The Ambassador said, ‘It will be your loss if you don’t come. ‘That’s the information I’ve got on this,” Helen very sweetly said.
“Alright,” Jack ended the conversation; his drunken state was gone; he was feeling a little scared.
“What happened, Jack? Who was it?” Yana asked; she was focused on the street because she was driving, so she was not seeing the tense look on Jack’s face.
“Australian Embassy, they want some kind of explanation,” Jack said.
“Are you worried about taxes you didn’t pay?” Yana suddenly asked. She was kind of aware that Jack hadn’t paid taxes.
“Yes, I am.” Jack didn’t hide it; he was really worried.
“Well, first of all, they won’t be able to tax you here in Germany, so if it were a tax issue, you would have gotten a call from BZSt, not the embassy of a different country,” Yana explained. (BZSt is the German Tax Collection Office.)
Jack, who heard it, was relieved; he thought, ‘Why didn’t I think that?’ Actually, he was overwhelmed by fear.
“We’re here; just park underground; my parking slot is number 9,” Jack instructed Yana around the building.
Yana was having a hard time in the very little corner space available. Jack smiled, then tapped her hand, which was on the steering wheel, and gestured for her to step down.
Jack then sat on the driving seat, and with a slow turn, he easily crossed the corner. Yana was hesitant to try.
“You’re good.” Yana’s voice sounded from behind the car. Jack smiled and slowly parked the car in the parking slot no. 9.
“This I’ve learned from my father. He was a great driver,” Jack smilingly said, and his eyes were a little moist.
“He must be a great man,” Yana chimed in, then linking her arm with Jack’s.
“Yes, he was. He was my hero; he won the Australian Grand Prix at the age of 25,” Jack said with a proud tone.
“Wow, so your genes are made to drive.” Yana was serious; Jack was a very talented driver.
“Maybe, but let me show you something else I’ve been built to do,” Jack, who was now opening his apartment gate, said.
” Oh? I love surprises.” Yana was excited to see Jack’s talent.
Jack then removed his overcoat and took Yana to his computer room.
“Nice, set up.” Yana was fascinated with the huge monitor and lights, which help Jack stream.
Jack pulled a chair out and let Yana sit closer with him, but out of camera angle.
Then he opened his computer and opened the game, “Are you ready?” Jack asked Yana, and Yana nodded her head.
Jack then started to live stream, naming it the same as yesterday: ‘First time playing GTA.’
Jack then was engrossed with the game; Yana was also fascinated with the graphics and how you can just kill anyone; she also appeared in the camera sometimes with an extremely cute and surprised look.
In the live stream, there were literally 30K people watching them play and enjoy, and then something happened.
A huge sound came in because they were playing on speaker.
“Sebastian donated 100$. –Dude, nice chick.”
“Mr. Least donated 40$—you’re good with that control.”
“Fkyrmother donated 30$ — You guys look cute; shoot a porno.”
“Emma donated 10€—is that you, Yana? Nice going, watching you guys from work.”
Jack and Yana were bewildered by so many messages; Yana even spotted a message from Emma, their mutual friend.
Jack had to stop playing with all the noise suddenly popping up and replied to some messages.
After this incident, Yana also joined Jack; she just sat beside Jack’s gaming chair and tried to play sometimes with the controller. The chat list erupted with excitement when Yana held the controller to play.
“Dude, she’s a fucking Voldemort.”
“Worse, she’s worse than him.”
“She’s German, alright.”
After playing around for two hours, they closed the game first, then Jack was replying with Yana in the chats.
“Are you guys a couple? –Not yet.(Y)”
“Friends with benefits—no (J)”
“She’s pretty. Dude, you’re missing out on her.–I know, ahaha.(J)”
“Give her address — Berlin Police station (Y)””
” Hiii!!! I am from France, Bordeaux. — Hello, I went there last year; Bordeaux is my favorite.(Y)”
“Tell us both of your Instagram accounts—alright (Y)) ”
Jack and Yana waved the camera good-bye; although they thought they looked pro at this, they looked amateurish, which boosted their image more.
Jack and Yana checked their profile and were shocked to find out their Instagram account skyrocketed.
Jack’s followers were in 20K+ and Yana’s 5K+.
“Ahaha, nice talent you’ve got there, Jack; look at how many followers I’ve got.” Yana was so happy.
“Are you that happy? Let me show you something more interesting. A few hours ago, the balance was zero. Jack showed Yana his PayPal account, which had now 2500€. This was only a donation; there were additional funds available through the Twitch monthly subscription model.
“Are you serious? You’re going to be rich; oh, I forgot you’re already rich. Marry me,” Yana said jokingly.
“Alright, let’s get married,” Jack also played in.
“Let’s order pizza. It’s 11 p.m.” Jack said, It was almost midnight, so Jack was a little hungry.
“Alright, let’s eat pizza and look at cars.” Yana felt comfortable around Jack.
You can give me a review, Positive or negative, I’ll try to make it better accordingly.
