She Paid For Our First Date Now I Feel Ashamed. What Should I Do?

 I had a stunt with a lady from work on Sunday.  She and I work for different employers, she for the client, I for the contractor. I had never talked to her before until a friend of hers who is also my padi mentioned her to me and would not stop talking about her. After much persuasion, I decided to give befriending her a shot.
She was more receptive than I envisaged and since then we've been casually saying hi and stuff.

On Saturday of the outgone weekend I called her and asked about her weekend, she replied saying she didn't have anything she was going to be doing, so I suggested we meet on Sunday.
We decided to meet after church service, and she was to call me when she closed from service.

Her call came in at about 5pm. I got dressed up, wearing a borrowed Tshirt 'cause all mine were rumpled, pocketed 2k 'cause, well, I am cheap and I live within a cheap budget, with a principle that does not allow me spend more than 2k on a date.
I got to the venue and met her already awaiting my presence.  She looked beautiful wearing a black dress,which revealed some cleavage, her light skin glowed underneath the sunset.
I ordered for drinks which totalled at 1400 Naira. Still well within my budget, I planned I was gong to use #100 for my transport back home, spend the leftover #500 on hiring a Keke Maruwa that would take her back home.
Everything was going according to plan, things were going fine , it was a good time to be alive until she said she felt like chewing.
At first I acted like I did not hear what she said till she said it again and I interjected with
'nope, chewing is bad for teeth'
She laughed and beckoned on the waiter to come over. In shock I yelled 'wait, wait!',  and brought out the whole #1500, dropped it on the table and told her that was all I had with me.
She did not budge but called the waiter, made orders for two plates of meat while I sat there trying to manage the awkward feeling I had developed in less than a minute. I couldn't picture how the whole drama would play out.
At last she brought out her purse, gave the waiter some money: I picked up my #1500, gave it to the waiter but he returned the money, said the money she gave him had already paid for the plates of meat.

I felt so ashamed of myself. It took a lot of self control not to talk to her about the incidence coupled  with the fact that I was so afraid to over flog the issue.
In an hour and some few minutes we were done and I saw her off and gave the driver #500 for her transport fare. Some hrs later I missed three of her calls. When I texted back she responded with a  'see you 2morrow'
While I don't know she meant by that, I know she will tell everybody at work about what happened, about how i am a stingy pig. But I am not stingy,I just prioritize things I spend money on.

Today I told my friends what happened, I have just two friends, and neither I nor any of them has heard about the incidence from another source. But then I am sure that if words get around, my reputation = Ruined.
What do you think I should do? Is there any way I can redeem my image?
I'll very much appreciate your thoughts.
