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.

Misha was asleep. Naked, face down with his head under the pillow, his cell phone somewhere under his torso, dropped on the bed after calling Dad to tell him he was back in New York, and in a room with the temperature hovering somewhere around sixty degrees so he could sleep off the jet lag.

The ringing/vibrating combination roused him enough to blindly search for the device. Sleepily, he rolled over onto his back and muttered into it. "Yeah?"

	He blinked, letting the voice bring a face into focus. "Anything you live through is a success, right?" He rubbed his face. "I got them all back alive, so that counts, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tessa smiled. "Did you have a good time though? That's all that matters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like Rome, so I did have a good time." He moved the phone to yawn and stretched, grunting as he did. When he brought it back he was more awake. "What have you been up to? Get that job yet so I have lunch and tip you outrageously for a nice smile?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm glad you had a good time. I did get the job. I started working at a local cafe just a few days ago. It's not glamorous, but it's a job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The smile that appeared on her face when she saw him was genuine. It was good to see him again and she didn't think about how she was starting to like him. She made her way over to him. "If you have a seat, I'll take your order," she said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have any recommendations?" He ran his fingers through his hair, smoothing out the waves that were all over after he took off the helmet, and smiled back in genuine pleasure. A single table with two chairs opened nearby and he took it before anybody else could, fine with waiting for it to be cleared. "Worked up an appetite getting down here."

	She smiled. "How about I surprise you with something to eat and is espresso okay?" She grabbed the two cups and two small plates from the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-06-09 01:15 am UTC (link)
	"Feel free to surprise me any time, and espresso is great." He took his jacket and slung it over the chair back. "Don't let me disturb you. I'll just be over here... watching..." He grinned at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tessa could feel the heat rising to her cheeks. "You're not keeping me. I'll be right back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Espresso and chocolate cheesecake. I took a guess and you look like the cheesecake type of guy." She set the items down on the table in front of him. "Is there anything else I can get you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He took her picture and turned it around so they both could see it. "Anya supercharged this thing. It does stuff I still can't figure out, but the video feature I know. Gotta get those embarrassing moments the family Christmas party." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Does your sister normally do things like that to your possessions?" She studied the device. It looked like an ordinary iPhone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only when she can get away with it," he joked. "She considers it one of her life's missions to keep track of me and make sure I'm okay. I wouldn't be surprised to find out one day that this is really a one-way pocket transporter like Star Trek." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tessa had to chuckle. "It sounds like she keeps your life interesting. I envy you a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Little sisters can be a royal pain in the ass, but Anya and I have always gotten along fine. Maybe we wouldn't if we were raised in the same house on a 24/7 basis, but what we have is better than most families, I think." He put the phone away and resumed eating his melting ice cream. "Are you getting along with your roommates?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-06-09 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	"You're lucky to have a good family," she said as she ate some ice cream. "We get along fine. We've all known each other for a good amount of time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha frowned a little. He thought he remembered her saying she'd only been in New York for a year and didn't really know anyone, but he could be wrong. People did form connections very quickly. "Believe me, Anya routinely tell me how lucky I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I knew two of them from high school," she explained. "We ran into each other on campus during our first year and decided to live together." She smiled. "And you enjoy it. I can tell by the sound of your voice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
