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.

	"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)

"The last time I finished a book that fast was when Mom took Anya and me to Italy and I was hoping to get into the catacombs. She gave me a book about them to read on the flight over. I devoured it, and still didn't get into the catacombs. Only the tourist sections."

Misha was a visual stimuli mutant. He had to see action to translate it to muscle memory. Words didn't translate into a usable skill.

	Well honey, I hope your note taking skills are really good." The endearment was casual, rolling off his tongue automatically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled at that. "May I see you back to your apartment, or did you take the subway?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I took the subway and I don't want you going way out of your way. You said you lived near here." She offered him a smile. "I can make it home okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right, I won't even hint that you might be a delicate flower of womanhood and need a big strong guy to see you to your front door." Big, teasing smile. "C'mon, I'll walk you to a station. There's one on the next block." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His smile widened. He wasn't missing that this time Tessa made the first gesture. He took her hand and laced his fingers with hers. "Tessa, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," he said, paraphrasing the last line of one of Mom's favorite old movies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-25 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled as his fingers interwined with her. "Good movie," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He stopped at the railing protecting the stairs leading down into the underworld of the subway. Raising Tessa's hand, he kissed her knuckles in a respectful gesture. "Thank you for coming out with me. I'll see you at the game if you can make it. You have my number. Call any time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 06:15 am UTC (link)
	She smiled and heat touched her cheeks when he kissed her knuckles. "You're welcome. The pleasure was all mine. I will. You have my number too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He waved her down the steps. "Remember, I want a copy of that report," he called after her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She waved and then laughed. "You got it." She disappeared down the stairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)
