A Day Out
Manny walked steadily, slowly maybe (?), looking for Bea. Why the heck was he so nervous. It wasn't a date..was it. Was that what he was thinking of doing? No, no, no...no?

	Bea was taking a moment's peace with some headphones on. Her back is to Manny, but she still turns off the music as soon as he's in the doorway and turns with a smile. "Hey." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hola, Bea," Manny said with a smile and a light wave. "I'm..not interrupting you, am I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope. Sinatra's always there to come back to when I feel like it. What's up, Manny?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I, well..can I sit down?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure. I promise that chair there is sufficiently sturdy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, okay." He'd been prepared to sit on the floor, but an actual chair was nice. He carefully sat down, a little paranoid. It wouldn't be the first chair he ever broke. "See..about a month before I joined you guys I helped a restaurant owner out of a problem he was having. So as a thank you, he give me a free reservation for his restaurant, but..I found out two things. Uno, it's expiring soon. Dos..it only works for two people." Deep breath, chico. "So..would you like to go with me?" That was completely professional right? No ulterior motives at all? He wasn't sweating?

	Bea smiled. "I'd love to, Manny. When do we need to go? And do you need a glass of water?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-29 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Really? Gracias," he said with a bright smile. "In a couple days," he informs before blushing. He was sweating..crap. "Si..water would;d be nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gets the water pitcher from her mini-fridge and pours him a glass. "Thursday night works?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-29 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "That'd be fine." He stops when he realizes he was twiddling his thumbs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-29 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Great. What sort of place is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-29 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Um, kind of upscale..Italian! Si, it was Italian." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-29 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Great. I love Italian. And don't worry; I own a nice dress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-29 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I wasn't worried about that," he assured. He gives himself a brief once-over. "I'll have to talk to an amigo about clothes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-29 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Just letting you know; I know I don't tend to wear much that aren't turtlenecks and leggings. And I'm sure you'll find something nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-29 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	"You look fine the way you are." He blushes. "I mean..you know." Thumbs are twiddling again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"I understand what you mean, Manny. Just saying I can style it up when the situation calls for it. We're going to turn heads as it is. Might as well turn them nicely, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"Es true, I'm not exactly incognito." A smile. "You have a point." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Every mutation's got its hazards," she says, smiling. "Yours is, admittedly, Not Subtle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It has its advantages. In the UCWF it helped me stand out from the other wrestlers, plus I picked up support from older fans who used to watch my dad when they were younger," he says, nostalgic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 02:09 am UTC (link)
	She chuckles. "Nothing like being ones parents' kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 12:35 pm UTC (link)
	"If I can ask, what are your parents like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, Dad likes Sinatra and runs a commune in the middle of the ocean. Mom likes the Sex Pistols and spent a lot of my childhood doing mercwork. It's Mom's genetics I have in common with Kelly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah," Manny didn't ask who Kelley's dad was, because frankly that would have been rude. "So your pop's the one you picked up a love of Sinatra from?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that's Dad's fault. But sometimes, when I was a teenager, just scare both of them? I'd blast some Streisand. Got over that phase pretty quick, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "I used to listen to Shakira. Drove Mom loco," he admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Ooh, we were both cruel children." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Heh, so we were." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	"But yeah, I love my parents, and my little Uncle Laz, but I couldn't take commune life indefinitely. That's why I went to work internationally. Tracked down Kelly, got her out of the crap she was in, and we worked together until we got hired on with Anya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	He listens attentively. "You probably know my story better than I do. Fought in the UCWF for awhile, resigned, became a bodyguard for the rich and famous, and then one you come a calling. All in all, a good career decision," he said with a light smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	She smiles. "I'm really glad you think so, Manny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Gracias, but I do miss the roar of the crowd sometimes. There's nothing like hearing a stadium of people chanting your name." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	"I guess I can understand that." She rose. "Thursday, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Si," he gets up as well. "Again, gracias Bea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-04-30 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course." She tiptoed to quickly kiss his cheek, then put her headphones back on and walked away. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-04-30 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	And he will just stand there with a dumb smile on his face, gently rubbing his cheek. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	soft_inside 2012-05-28 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	END. (Reply to this)
