"Hello, welcome!" one of the hosts said, beaming and rushing over to wave them to Race's usual table. "Win any bets lately, Tony?"
"Lost two this morning," Race said cheerfully, sitting down and offering Rae the menu. He already had his order in mind.

"What's the best thing on the menu?" Raven asked him. She smiled at Tony, "and they honestly think I'm your girlfriend."

"Spaghetti," Race said reverantly. "Gotta be a good old-fashioned heaping plate of spaghetti. And yeah. Sorry," he said with a sheepish grin. "Sophia's been after me to meet a nice Italian girl since I met her. I told her I tend to go for redheads, but she thinks that's just my unfortunate Irish blood coming out."

"Well you've met an Italian girl, I wouldn't necessarily say a nice one..." she smirked at him.

"Hey, you gave back my two bits. I think that makes us friends already," he joked, placing his spaghetti order when Sophia came scurrying over to take it.

"Spaghetti bolognese please." Raven said and then handed Sophia her menu.
"Yea, I'd say we're friends too...I'm also stealing Spot's teddy bear tonight by the way. Just letting you know in case I don't survive the night."

((Oh gods, that should be a thread all its own. In which Spot catches her and knows Race told her and they both get in trouble.))
"If you get caught, he'll figure out who told you and I'm fleeing the country," Race announced. "You can meet me at the docks if you escape. We'll sail for Naples and change our names."

"Done!" Raven bit her lip and then started to laugh. She couldn't help it. She hadn't laughed in what seemed like years. Now she couldn't even control it.

Her laugh was contagious, so he started laughing too, until he hardly even remembered what they were laughing about.
"Ah, look at the lovebirds!" another waitress exclaimed in passing, smiling at them and heaving a romantic sigh.
Race stared blankly after her and turned back to his new friend. "Rae, I don't know if it's working out between us," he said solemnly. "People are gossiping, our reputations are going downhill...maybe we should start seeing other people."

"I agree, we can't have this. People can't think that we like each other and are enjoying each others company. What will the rest of Brooklyn think?" She forced her lips closed and looked at him solemnly.
For some reason this boy made her anxiety recede just enough for her to feel free. For once she wasn't plagued by all the terrible things that had happened to her and all she wanted to do was laugh.
((And I totally agree on that being another thread LOL it would be so funny))

((Aww, I love how he always cheers her up.  ) "It'll be a scandal," Race assured her. "Brooklyn don't like happy people. But we'll just have to try and bear it." At that moment, Sophia appeared again, expertly balancing two plates of spaghetti. "See? Fast service too!" Sophia dropped off their food, winked, and disappeared into the kitchens again, and Race dug in happily. |

"I can tell, everyones always scowling, frowning, smirking or pouting...I mean I do that too though." She shrugged and took a bite. "Wow..."

"Hmm, I mostly just smirk. Maybe I don't belong in Brooklyn," Race mused, though the last part was kind of muffled due to his mouthful of spaghetti. "Mmm. What'd I tell you?"

"This is the best bolognese I've ever had besides mine." She smiled at him.

"Glad you approve." Race grinned. "We can keep coming back if you want, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to convince 'em we're not dating."
