Alex beams.

Alex: I like that.

A very attractive waitress comes over carrying menus.

Waitress: Welcome to..... Alexander Edwards? We've not seen you in a while.

Alex: Well I've not been in town for a while.

Waitress: Well.... we've missed you...

Alex: Haha.... that's nice of you to say Lauren.

Lauren: I see you brought.... a guest.

Alex: My fiancee, Alexis.

Lauren looks over at Alexis.

Lauren: Oh....Hello.... wow.... so pretty..... well.... um.... here's your menus. Not that you really need one Alexander.

Alex: Well.... it has been a few years.... I'd better refresh my memory.

Lauren hands them the menus.

Lauren: Can I get you anything to drink?

Alex: I'll have a coke please.

Lauren: .... and for the lucky lady?

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:09 pm

Alexis expression turns to one of pleasant surprise at the compliment.

Alexis: Vanilla Coke, if you have it. If not plain Coke is fine.

She nudges Alex under the table and gives him an "I told you so" look.

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:14 pm

Lauren briefly shoots Alexis an apologetic look.

Lauren: Two cokes it is. I'll be back in a minute.

She walks away. Alex smiles at Alexis.

Alex: What was the look about?

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:16 pm

Alexis grins, leaning over to Alex.

Alexis: See, she thinks I'm lucky too.

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:21 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: Yeah.... your cousin said the same thing..... I'm not sure I understand what they're talking about.

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:23 pm

Alexis: Oh, it's not just them. I think I'm pretty lucky too.

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:32 pm

Alex smiles.

Alex: I'm not sure I'll ever understand why..... but I'm incredibly glad you do.

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:34 pm

Alexis smiles.

Alexis: I have my reasons.

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:39 pm

Alex takes her hand.

Alex: Is that so?

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:45 pm

Alexis looks Alex squarely in the eyes.

Alexis: When I wanted to get out of the house, away from my mom, just start on my own path... I called out into the dark. You answered and took me in, even though you didn't have to. That was the start of it, I think. At the time I just didn't think you were interested... and you thought the same about me. Even then you made sure I was comfortable. A lot of women would kill to have someone like that... like you.

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:06 pm

He kisses her.

Alex: Well.... I'm glad you were comfortable there.

Lauren returns with two cokes.

Lauren: Here you go. Are you ready to order?

Alex: Sure why not.... I'll have the Braised feather blade of Beef.

Lauren: Ha.... The usual then.... big fat plate of protein.

She looks to Alexis

.... and for you beautiful?

Cryonix Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:13 pm

Gabe: You base jumped on a dare? Ballsy....though if you want to really base jump...you should do what Amanda, Alex, Jay and I did....we did some bungee jumping and base jumping off of Angel Falls...God that was intense.

He looks around as he enters into her room with her...

Gabe: Wow! You got the deluxe suicide suite....

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:27 pm

Alexis almost smirks.

Alexis: I think I'll have the same.

Nikki chuckles.

Nikki: You make it sound so nice. Angel Falls huh? That's right up there on my list.

She makes a face at her cast.

Nikki: I was going to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, but I'm kind of stuck now.

Cryonix Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:30 pm

Gabe: Oh...Mardi Gras is fantastic. I went there for my junior and senior years in college...oh man, there is nothing like an authentic Shrimp Po' Boy...

He lays her down in her hospital bed...

Gabe: Here we are...you know...you should come out to L.A....come watch me fight. I could show you around a couple of hot spots...

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:34 pm

Nikki: Just met me and already you're asking me to go way to the other side of the pond with you.

She grins.

Nikki: I think I'll take you up on the offer once I'm out of here.

Cryonix Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:36 pm

Gabe smiles...

Gabe: Oh, come on. You look like the type of girl that doesn't mind taking a risk. But...here...

Gabe writes down his cell phone number....

Gabe: Give me a call. The fight is in two months. Alex and Alexis will be there in my corner...

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:36 pm

Lauren: Coming right up.

She takes the menus and walks away, she can be heard mutttering to herself. "God damn those two are going to have some pretty babies" Alex still looks puzzled by Lexi's smirk.

Alex: .... What are you smirking about?

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:46 pm

Nikki smirks watching him write it on her cast.

Nikki: I might even call you before that.

Alexis: Protein... energy...

She gives him a playful look.

Alexis: Just in case...

Cryonix Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:50 pm

Gabe pulls up a chair and smiles at her as he finishes up the phone number...

Gabe: Oh? Made an impression, did I?

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:52 pm

Nikki leans down and traces the number.

Nikki: You might say that.

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:56 pm

Alex returns her playful look.

Alex: Oh? What wicked plans do you have for me my sweet little angel?

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 8:59 pm

Alexis grins very playfully.

Alexis: Well... things might be a little less awkward with it just being us at the table....

She sips her Coke and looks at Alex out of the corner of her eyes.

Cryonix Sat Mar 05, 2011 9:02 pm

Gabe: Well, I'm glad I did...I actually wish I could stay a little longer...but

He looks at his watch and sighs sadly...

Gabe: ....I do have a plane to catch...

Cruel Britannia Sat Mar 05, 2011 9:05 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: .... you wouldn't....

Pockets Sat Mar 05, 2011 9:07 pm

Nikki looks disappointed.

Nikki: You are by far the most interesting thing that's walked though this door. I guess I'll just have to make some use of this new little thing you decorated my cast with.

Alexis' hand disappears very briefly, teasing, then returns back to the table.

Alexis: We really should wait for the food this time.
