Re: Team Punishment Minnesota Training Facility...

Nikki: That sounds good. I'll talk you then.

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: I would hope that when we're being intimate I wouldn't have the opportunity to think if it was your mom that taught me whatever it was.

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:33 pm

Alex looks playfully nervous.

Alex: So no pressure then?

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:38 pm

Gabriel hangs up the phone and walks back over with a genuine smile on his face. He starts collecting his stuff in his gym bag....

Gabe: Nikki's really....nice...heh...I'm kinda glad she's coming out to the fight...

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:42 pm

Alexis looks confused.

Alexis: Why would there be any pressure?

She looks over at Gabe with some surprise.

Alexis: You keep talking about her... and with her... I might start to think you might actually be interested in her.

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:45 pm

Alex winks at her.

Alex: Gotta keep my girl..... happy.

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:46 pm

Gabe smirks...

Gabe: Let me use your words...just modified a bit....ahem....."Excuse me for being an Cortez... I guess some scars cross generations huh?"

The truth is....I do kind of like her.

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:51 pm

Alexis smiles at Alex.

Alexis: Oh, you do.

She turns and fixes an indignant look at Gabe.

Alexis: That argument would almost work if I didn't see you in action. But you're different about Nikki than you were hitting on moaning Mona.

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:54 pm

Gabe: Meh, I didn't even call Mona. I washed my hands as soon as I got to the airport. Nikki....she's different....pretty cool chick.

Look, I gotta go. Don't forget, we leave in a week to go to Vegas for the fight....make sure Unc and Auntie have fluids by then....

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:03 pm

Alex continues staring at Alexis.

Alex: Uh-huh.... sure.... real concerned about my parents fluid levels....

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:07 pm

Alexis glances over at Alex, and smiles.

Alexis: I think they can take care of themselves.

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:08 pm

Gabe: Alright...if I get like that with Nikki...I don't want to hear a fuckin' word about it. I'm out, guys...catch ya later...

Gabe throws on his jacket and leaves the facility...

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:13 pm

Alex: Later Gabe.

He grins at Alexis.

.... I think we actually just managed to disgust Gabriel Cortez of all people....

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:18 pm

Alexis returns the grin.

Alexis: I consider that an accomplishment.

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:28 pm

About ten days later, Gabe is sitting at LAX, waiting for British Airways flight number 5663. He's wearing a Team Punishment shirt, blue jeans and sunglasses. He sees Nikki coming out of the plane into the terminal...

Gabe: Hey Nikki...over here, hon.

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:34 pm

Nikki is wearing her own Team Punishment shirt. She looks over at the sound of her name, grins and runs over to Gabe, throwing her arms around him.

Nikki: It's great to see you!

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:37 pm

Gabe smiles and puts his arms around her waist...

Gabe: Wow...don't you look great? You healed up pretty fast too...

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:40 pm

Nikki: It's just nice to be mobile again.

She notices the shirts and chuckles.

Nikki: Hey, we match!

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:45 pm

Gabe: Yeah...

He winks at her...

Gabe: We sure do. Look, we got about a day here in L.A. before we go out to Vegas. I gotta do my weigh in and a couple photo ops...then the fight is on Saturday night. So...

He leaves one arm around around her waist...

Gabe: Let's get your bags and have some fun...

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:46 pm

Nikki leans in, grinning.

Nikki: So what did you have in mind?

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:49 pm

Gabe: Well, since I kind of had a little bit of foresight into what you like to do....

...how about some base jumping...?

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:53 pm

Nikki: As long as it's not off of a one floor building, I'm game.

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:57 pm

Gabe: No, no...I was thinking more....the Staples Center. I got a couple friends out here in L.A. that hooked me up with a couple wing suits and access...

The two walk through the international airport arm in arm. Gabe can't believe...that...he's actually really digging this chick. He can't stop smiling when people are looking at him and her with jealous looks...

Gabe: I guess you're quite a looker, Nikki.

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:09 pm

Nikki glances at Gabe, smirking.

Nikki: It's not me they look to be drooling over. Seems to be you're the one they're hot for.

And I'm the lucky one... I'm actually glad I broke my leg....

She grins to herself..

Cryonix Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:14 pm

They leave the airport and walk to the valet parking station. The valet brings around Gabe's white Nissan GT-R and opens the trunk. He puts Nikki's bags in and then Gabe opens the door for her...

Gabe: Shall we?

Pockets Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:19 pm

Nikki looks at Gabe for a moment, and smiles.

Nikki: Ever the gentleman, aren't we?
