The waiter comes back...

Waiter: Um...two Vanilla Cokes?

Moments later, Moira comes back first and then a few seconds later, follwed by Ben on the tail end of his phone call...

Ben: Yeah, that's no problem.....no...I can assure you that the books have been checked and the quarterly return is quite profitable........Well, as far as comission goes, I do quite well, thank you.......It's been a pleasure, Prime Minister and when I'm over in London, we'll have a look at those personal finances........no, thank you for your business. Good bye.

Alex barely looks at the waiter.

Alex: Thankyou.

He looks back to Alexis

Alex: I bet it's gonna be delicious.

Moira walks around the table the long way, behind the couple, smirking, at first unnoticed.

Alexis: When hasn't it been?

Moira walks right into Alexis' line of sight. The movement is enough to catch Alexis' eyes.

Alexis: Ah! Hi mom!

Moira: I see you two 'ave been keepin' busy.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:14 pm

Alex clears his throat.

Alex: Ah.... welcome back....

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:20 pm

Ben: Were we any better we started dating, hon?

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:26 pm

Moira: We weren't. 'Ow do you think I knew what they were doin'?

Alexis: I don't want to know....

Moira looks at the couple with a very wicked smirk.

Moira: Maybe instead you should ask Shawn, when you tell 'im the good news, about 'ow 'e found mey in the closet with Alex's father roit about when I was your age.

Alexis stares, aghast.

Alexis: What?!

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:34 pm

Alex: Don't worry Lexi.... she's just teasing you.... my mum was my dad's first..... Right?

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:39 pm

Moira keeps a straight face.

Moira: Oh we didn't get that far... Shawn came by with a clown midget and a goat.

Alexis stares at her mother, then stares at Alex.

Alexis: Didn't you say you were getting something nice for Shawn? We may have to add to that....

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:44 pm

Alex: Thank god for that..... although.... I never had my dad figured for a ladies man.....interesting.

He looks to Alexis

Alex: Thanks for reminding me.... I still need to set up the... reward for his..... advice, when we get back to Chicago.

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:47 pm

Moira looks over at Ben.

Moira: A reward... involvin' Shawn... I can only guess wot that is for.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:50 pm

Alex: Nothing like that.... he helped me get Alexis' Valentine's Day present.

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:53 pm

Ben: Heh...If I know Shawn...

He shakes his head with a laugh...

Ben: ...he didn't tell you to get chicken grease....did he?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:55 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: Actually.... Lexi's wearing it right now..... her present.... not the Chicken grease.

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:57 pm

Alexis glances down at the now slightly rumpled dress.

Alexis: It's this... the dress.

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:02 pm

Ben: That's quite lovely, Alexis. It suits you very nicely.

The waiter comes back...

Waiter: Are we ready to order?

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:17 pm

Alexis quickly grabs a menu and looks at it.

Alexis: Ah... Ben, what was it that you recommended earlier? I don't see it on here.

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:26 pm

Ben: Ah, yes. The Lobster and prawn risotto with white truffle oil. How about that for the whole table, with some sauteed broccoli rabe...and if you would, two glasses of Miscato di Asti for myself and the lady, thank you.

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:46 pm

Alexis takes a sip of her Vanilla Coke.

Alexis: So, Ben, what are you working on now?

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:22 pm

With a smirk...

Ben: You sure you want to know, or do you just want to stare lovingly at each other some more?

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:27 pm

Alex chuckles at Ben.

Alex: I can do both..... I'm good at multitasking

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:31 pm

Alexis blushes

Alexis: Both works.

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:39 pm

Ben: Fair enough. The latest thing...I'm rather proud to say...is next week, I'll be heading to Washington D.C. to set up some side investments for a couple senators...and well, unconfirmed...but...

...I have a meeting with the president.

Pockets Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:42 pm

Alexis is staring into Alex's eyes, she turns, and looks at Ben, impressed.

Alexis: That's very cool!

She goes back to staring into Alex's eyes.

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:47 pm

Alex returns Alexis' gaze with equal devotion. Before turning to look at Ben curiously.

Alex: I suddenly get the feeling you weren't joking about the whole taking over the world thing.....

He returns to staring into Alexis' eyes.

Cryonix Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:49 pm

Ben shakes his head...

Ben: If you two are done with the tunnel of love...why don't you get your food to go?
