Making Contact
With Nicholas being such a pain in the ass about the stuff with Romanov, Tessa would have to set up a date. Nicholas didn't understand that things like this took time. If she moved too quickly Romanov would get suspicious. The family was suspicious enough, borderline paranoid, and Tessa had to step very very carefully.

She dialed his number.

	"Sounds like a fun trip. I saw the pictures in the paper," she admitted. Nicholas did too and was not pleased to say the least. "What sights did you take them to see? Were there any problems?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pictures?" That took him aback a moment, but it shouldn't surprise him. Rome was a paparazzi haven. Everyone went to Rome. "No, no problems. A few tense moments. A group of strong minded kids can make life interesting for the hotel staff, but we did okay. Have you ever been to Rome?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gossip rag," she said. "There were pictures of you and few girls in a club. Nope. New York's about it for me." Which was true. She hadn't been out of the facility much before this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course, the guys didn't make it into the pictures. That wouldn't be interesting reading." He shook his head. "My life is so much more boring than the papers think. We got back yesterday and I've been sleeping off the jet lag." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course they didn't show the guys. Now see if there was a story on that, you would have been home sleeping off the jet lag with three or four women in your bed," she teased. "Then I'd have to be jealous or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 08:06 am UTC (link)
	Her teasing made him laugh. "Nope, the bed was empty when I got home. No time to stop and pick up three or four women. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have let me sleep." It felt like a land mine kind of conversation, so he shifted topics. "How do you like the cafe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 08:12 am UTC (link)
	She chuckled along with him. "How did you ever manage?" she teased. "It's okay. It's not a bad place to work. I guess it could be worse. I could be flipping burgers somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 08:23 am UTC (link)
	Misha defended the lowly ground meat patty. "Burgers are the world's most perfect food! It's a noble calling!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But a messy one," she pointed out. They crossed an intersection and kept walking. "Waiting tables is a little less greasier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 08:39 am UTC (link)
	"If you're going to be logical about it..." "My summer jobs always seemed to be working with kids." That was the best way he could describe what he did at the institute. "It's a good thing I like kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 08:41 am UTC (link)
	"Is there any other way to be?" she asked. "That's definitely a good thing. I bet the kids adore you too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope so. Learned from my dad. Kids love him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Genetic," she said with a smile. His genetics were exactly what they were interested in. His and his brother's. They crossed another intersection. The ice cream place was a few doors away. "I can't wait to watch a game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 09:24 am UTC (link)
	"We've got a game next weekend. I'll be out with the guys practicing this week. My family's coming out to cheer them. Mom and Anya buy the pizza. Dad keeps the peace. Think your work schedule will let you be there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 09:26 am UTC (link)
	"I'll make sure I have off of work to be there. I wouldn't miss it for the world." They reached the ice cream shop and she opened the door and held it for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 09:44 am UTC (link)
	It was good to be secure enough to let a woman open a door for you. "I'm seeing a theme here," he said. "Ice cream. You must really love it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 09:46 am UTC (link)
	"I do," she admitted. "It's a real treat for me. I usually don't splurge on things I don't need." Ice cream was one of the few treats she was allowed to have while she was growing up. The project was not one to reward them frequently or give them treats. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then it's my pleasure to spoil you with ice cream." Misha took her hand and led her to the counter. "Anything the lady wants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 09:57 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "Strawberry please. With sprinkles, chocolate syrup and whipped cream, please." She looked at him. "You're spoiling me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 10:01 am UTC (link)
	"Everyone should be spoiled a little on a daily basis." He winked and turned to the girl behind the cold case. "A scoop of rocky road, please." "I've been meaning to ask, was it dance or martial arts?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 10:03 am UTC (link)
	She blinked and tilted her head. "I'm sorry. I don't understand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 10:06 am UTC (link)
	"The way you move. Smooth, graceful. A definite suggestion of strength and control. I've seen that in dancers and martial arts students." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 10:08 am UTC (link)
	"Oh." She smiled. "Dance. I was able to take classes here and there through the years." It was actually both, but she wasn't going to show all of her cards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 10:11 am UTC (link)
	Misha had spent many, many hours dancing to perfect his martial arts techniques. Mom had insisted on it. "Have you kept up with it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 10:12 am UTC (link)
	"Not really. I haven't been able to afford classes for sometime now." She considered him for a moment. "What about you? Any martial arts?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
