Monday Night Football
Anya was in a bad mood from the argument with Toni about Genosha, but she promised Jimmy she would go to the Giants game with him and do some tailgaiting. The Toni stuff could be pushed back for the evening. Tomorrow she could think about it and deal with it.

The game was in New Orleans which would make it a challenge, but nothing so simple as distance would stop a Stark. This would also be her first Giants game of the year which was a surprise. It was a testament to how busy her life was right now. Usually she didn't miss a game.

She had on a pair of jeans, her favorite boots, a Giants jersey, a matching turtleneck underneath it, and a Giants ballcap. She had a jacket with her as well since it was supposed to be in the mid-40s. It still wouldn't be difficult to recognize her, but maybe it won't be so bad. She was really wearing anything to make her stand out. Blending in was usually a good thing.

She checked herself in the mirror one more time and then headed toward Jimmy's hotel room. Bridget would have made sure everything they needed would be waiting for them downstairs in the rented truck. The woman was a godsend and Anya needed to give her a raise.

She knocked on Jimmy's door.

	She was honestly a little surprised by the suggestion. The brief look of surprise on her face turned to a smile. "I'd love to." Starks loved to be where all the action was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A brow lifts at the sign of surprise. "What? I don't have a fake id or anything, wasn't planning on a Hurricane run... but its good music and good food, plus some neat shops. Don't worry, I don't have any cheap novelty beads." he teases. "I'll plan on that then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Guilty." he agrees. "At least I'll let you think so. That's how I sneak up on people." he replies with a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's just something you don't expect out of a Rogers. Now a Stark on the other hand...." She grinned. It was well known that Anya liked to have a good time, but thankfully she wasn't close to her father's level back in his prime. "I like this side of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. I'm screwed then and definitely not in the good way." She grinned and gave him a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In terms of being thought of as a troublemaker, sure. But that doesn't mean the other way isn't an option too." he replies with a grin, between mouthfuls of food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Anya blinked. As usual she had been thinking differently than him. She had been thinking about sex, not dating, seeing how she hadn't had any real relationships and had flings instead. It wasn't that she didn't eventually want something with someone, just that it hadn't happened yet. If you didn't count Tommy Collins whom Anya "dated" in third grade and whom was the first boy she kissed. She still remembered that trip to the principal's office.

"Just so we're clear...as in dating boyfriend girlfriend kind of thing?" she asked.

"Maybe." he agrees. "So we're clear, I'm saying we seem to get along, like some of the same things, and we're looking at spending more time together. Far as I know we're both single... so we try a few more dates... if things keep going well, then yeah, a boyfriend-girlfriend sort of thing, if you're interested. If you're wanting to hold off and just be casual, that's fine too."

"I'm single," she clarified. "Though the tabloids like to think I'm not and put me with a different guy every few weeks or so." She wasn't quite sure how they did that since she really didn't have time for a social life. She would give them credit for active imaginations.

She looked at him and thought about dating him. She found the idea rather nice. A smile appeared on her face. "I'd like to give things a try and see where they go."

At first it had been him volunteering to be arm decoration at charity events and from that they started spending more time together when Anya had some free time. Burgers on Saturdays with him was nice and each week Anya looked forward to it. She looked forward to spending time with him in general each week.

	That gets a smile, before he pauses from eating to lean in to kiss her briefly. "Then I would too. I've really enjoyed our time together so far." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She returned the kiss and smiled. It felt like sealing a deal for some reason. She chuckled at the thought and kissed him again. "I have too. It's nice to be able to be with someone and be myself instead of who everyone thinks I should be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
