It's party time all up in this open post.

I look out for myself. 'n I don't go around threatenin' women.

[Although he definitely goes around threatening guys.]

[waitedforyears]

Such a gentleman. [ It earns another grin, quick and teasing. ]

[trenchknives]

Well, y'know, I try.

[The food arrives quickly, in quite generous helpings, and he grins at her.]

Think you can eat all of that?

[waitedforyears]

Not if I'm getting some of your spaghetti, too.

[trenchknives]

We can share.

[Because Jimmy has a famously huge appetite. For many things.]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? [ Lips quirking up again. ] Sounds good to me.

[trenchknives]

[He's not too sure if it's too soon in the date -- at least, he's thinking of it as a date, he's not sure how she's thinking of it -- to ask her to do something after having lunch, so he settles for taking a big bite of his spaghetti, twirling it around his fork, trying not to splatter sauce everywhere.]

You wanna go for a walk or somethin' after this?

[Okay, maybe he didn't resist the urge so well.]

[waitedforyears]

[ She swallows around a mouthful of meatball, eyebrows going up and grinning. It isn't lady-like, but Amy's never been and it never bothered her, so why should it now? ]

You asking me out on a date, then?

[trenchknives]

Sure, if you wanna call it a date.

[He definitely wants to call it a date.]

[waitedforyears]

[ A sip of her drink, then: ]

Yeah, all right. Let's go for a walk after.

[trenchknives]

[He grins, obviously relieved.]

Sounds good to me.

[And another huge mouthful of food. So charming.]

[waitedforyears]

[ The grin's kind of cute, though. And Amy loves being wanted and appreciated, so the relief? Is nice as well.

He's just lucky she doesn't care about lady-like things. Like tablemanners. ]

Food first, though.

[trenchknives]

Food always comes first.

[Well, not always. But usually.]

[waitedforyears]

[ Really? ] Even before sex?

[trenchknives]

That's one of the exceptions.

[waitedforyears]

I thought so, yeah. [ She'd have been surprised otherwise. ]

[trenchknives]

What about for you? Or should I guess that it's probably the same?

[waitedforyears]

Oh, no competition, really. [ Leaning back in her chair, grinning at him. ]

[trenchknives]

Glad t'hear that.

[And he really is. Because he has some ideas in mind for how he might like to end this date, after all.]

[waitedforyears]

[ How lucky for him that Amy not only likes sex but has already decided that she wouldn't mind having it with him. ]

I can't imagine why.

[trenchknives]

Well, I don't wanna be too forward or anythin', but...

[He raises a suggestive eyebrow.]

[waitedforyears]

Oh, but what if I like forward.

[trenchknives]

Then I think you 'n I are gonna get along just fine.

[waitedforyears]

I was hoping that, yeah.
