Wandering Around

*cleaning dishes in the kitchen*

*sighs*
*thinks* This is so boring...

I'd rather be talking with Nikki.

*smells as she walks down the stairs*

I wonder what the speciality is today

*goes into to dining room and is disappointed when Pete isn't there*

*hears foosteps in the dining room*

I wonder if it's her...

*looks out window, and brightens at the sight of her*

*walks out*

Nikki!!

Did you have a nice nap?

*smiles brightly*

Yess. I feel refreshed. Thank you!

Did you get in much trouble?
Hopefully not >.<

*continues smiling*

What's on the menu tonight?

*winks*

*waves offhandedly*
Nah, not too much. My mom doesn't mind when I go off, really...

She gets some peace and quiet!

*laughs*

Today it's ham and cheese sandwiches, with whatever you want on them.

Or we have barbecue stuff that i can fix!

*laughs*

Peace and quiet is good for parents sometimes *winks*

Ham & Cheese sounds good. Gotta save room for the meat later.

*giggles softly*

Soo, is it usually busy on Saturday nights here?

*smiles wide*

Alright then! I'll get that for you! *winks*

*goes and fixes sandwiche, then brings it back out for her*

*sits at table*

Usually it is, but it's the off season right now, since it's winter. Summer is usually our busiest.

That's probably another reason why my mom didn't really mind that I went out earlier...

*smiles*

Thank you! Smells delicious!

*hesitates slightly*

So your mom wouldn't care if I stole again tonight?

*winks and blushes*

*taken aback for a second*

*smiles and blushes also*

Nahh, she probably wouldn't... she lets me off at around six anyways.

*thinks* I wonder...

*smiles, blushes more and looks down at plate*

This feeling...

I don't know anything is this town but that doesn't matter..

*smiles*

No worries, I know this place like the back of my hand!

Anything in particular you like to do though??

*blushes even more if it's possible*

Not really....
I just enjoy your company.
I'm up for anything.

*smiles and eats a bit more sandwich*

Wow...

Well, other than the arcade and the go-kart track, there's always going and sitting on the docks. The lake's a pretty nice place.

And it stopped raining awhile ago...

*smiles*

Sounds perfect to me!

Too bad about the rain, I love the rain..

*looks at empty plate*

That was amazing! Thanks for it.

You're welcome!!

*takes up plate*

Let me rinse this off...

*takes it back to the kitchen, leaving her alone*

*looks around and puts hand on jeans pocket*

What's this?

*puts hand in pocket and pulls out a ring*

I forgot I found this..

*begins inspecting it and sees Love, Rizzy inscripted on the inside*

Ohmygoodness! Ohno!

*comes back in dining room*

So, I just talked to my mom, slash boss, and she said I could have the afternoon off, since it's so slow.

*smiles, then sees ring in her hand*

Hey, what's that?

*looks up quickly and back down to the ring almost frantically*

I picked it up when Joe showed us where that guy was being carried

*takes a deep breathe*

It's the wedding band of Scorpius, who married Rizzo.
Rizzo is someone who I work with and a really good friend of mine..
and she's pregnant.

*stares at ring*

*eyes widen*
Oh, geez!!

So you're saying you know the guy who was carried off???

*thinks* Oh, man... that's not good...

*sighs*

Yess
And I need to warn my co-workers and friends.

My family..

Which means I need to leave..
as soon as possible.

*face falls slightly*

Oh...

Well, I understand. You need to warn them about this.

I hope he'll be ok, and that you'll find him.

And... *hesitates*

Maybe you can come back here, sometime...?

Thank you for understanding.
So much. And thank you.

*sighs again*

I hope too.

I really want too..

I know I'll be apart of the team searching for him so it would be a while.

*stands up*

*hesitates*

Nikki... I.. I'm glad you came... no matter what has happened..

I really do hope you find your friend!!

And that you might back... *smiles*

*hesitates again*

*kisses her on the cheek*

*turns and walks to the kitchen*

*heart breaks as he walks away*

..Wait..a second....

*takes off star necklace*

Keep this. I'll have to come back then.

*smiles and places her hand on his check*
I'm glad too.
Take care of yourself..

*lingers a little to long and walks away slowly to grab belongings*

*looks at necklace in hand*

*looks up at her retreating figure*

*smiles*

*put the necklace on*

Thanks... and good luck, Nikki.

*goes to kitchen*
