Dinner and Recon (Friday night)
Tessa stood outside Big Nick's Burger and Pizza Joint on Broadway and 77th. She was fifteen minutes early because she didn't want to be late and make Mikhail think she wasn't going to show. The whole point was to keep him interested and she could only do that by being around.

She smoothed her blouse and wondered if she looked okay. She was dressed in a pair of boots, a blouse and a pair of jeans. From the way Mikhail had described the place, she didn't think that anything formal would be appropriate, but she was so unsure of this dating stuff.

The program didn't exactly foster any dating environment, not that this was a date. People like her didn't go on dates, they went on missions. Nicholas made it a point to say it was a mission and not a date.

Nicholas was not happy with her going out with Mikhail and getting close to him, even if it were for the good of the mission. Then again, Nicholas was hardly ever happy. The guy was created cranky.

She looked at her watch. Five more minutes. She watched the traffic and people as she waited.

	"Thanks for being understanding. I really appreciate it." Tessa got bonus points for neither throwing a fit or looking like she was after some fame in the papers. Life was complicated enough. "Going to work for the summer, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's nothing," she said and took a bite of her pistachio ice cream. "That's the plan, but you know about life and plans." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you have one or are you looking?" Wasn't Stark Inc always hiring people to make coffee and shuffle mail? Or something along those lines. He didn't pay a whole lot of attention. He had all the work he could handle as it was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm looking. Well going to be looking. Was planning on starting the job hunt on Monday." She scooped some ice cream onto her spoon. "There's a few cafes I'm going to submit applications to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope it goes well. With the tourist season about to bloom, I'm sure you'll find something." He was never slow with the Rocky Road. It was his favorite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, me too. I can't afford not to work." The pistachio was gone in little time. "I will have time to catch a baseball game or two. I'll make sure of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be great. I'll let you know our schedule. Maybe in your busy schedule we can go out again. Catch a comedy, eat at a place you like..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled. "I'd like that." Nicholas wouldn't, but it was for the mission. "I'm free until I get a job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My boys will be playing their first game a week from Saturday. The park at 77th and Riverside. Feel free to drop by. We can always use the cheering section." He smiled back. He couldn't help it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be there. Do I need to bring pompoms?" He was cute when he smiled. Stop thinking like that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only if you wear the short skirt," he said in his very best pervert voice, sounding completely ridiculous to his own ears. "Just come and cheer. A lot of these kids are put in the program because their parents want them to play and then they don't come to the games. It's good for them to have an audience." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-25 08:35 am UTC (link)
	"Right. So pompoms and a short skirt," she said with a smile. "Anything else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have lunch with me after the game?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-25 08:47 am UTC (link)
	"Sure," she answered before she realized she was agreeing. "That would be nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-05-25 08:56 am UTC (link)
	"Great!" He took another couple of steps before dropping the next bomb. "There might be eighteen chaperons going with us, and it's a good bet it'll be at a pizza place. I hope that's not a problem?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-25 08:57 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "That's fine. The more the merrier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-05-25 09:09 am UTC (link)
	His smile was beyond pleased. It was a deal breaker in his book. His family, his guys, if a girl couldn't handle both she wasn't the sort of friend he wanted. "I promise to cheer for you and your gang for anything you might do for fun. I might even wear the skirt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-25 09:10 am UTC (link)
	She laughed a little harder. "I will keep that in mind if I ever get a gang." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-05-25 09:28 am UTC (link)
	"I dunno," he made a show of eying her up and down. "I suspect you have hidden depths. Secrets. You might teach gymnastics to little kids in your off time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-25 09:30 am UTC (link)
	"I wish I were half as interesting as you think I am," she said. "I don't really do much of anything outside of school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like reading," she said. "It makes a person use the imagination." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-05-25 09:56 am UTC (link)
	"I can't disagree with that." His smile was still amused. "I read a lot as a kid. Mostly to find ways to drive people crazy. Now I read when I can't sleep, or for school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I read close to a book a day," she said. Up until recently reading had been the only way she learned about the world. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
