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.

	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)

	Anya smiled and kissed him again. "Good. Right now I am looking forward to this game. When do we go in or is it way too early?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the kiss, then digs in to his remaining food to finish up, when he notices people have started cleaning up while they were talking. "We have about fifteen minutes. Just enough time to finish up and clean up some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-02 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Anya finished her food up. She completely stuffed since she usually didn't eat this much at once. When she remembered to eat. "I'll help," she said and stood up. Thankfully they didn't make too much of a mess and it wouldn't take long to get things picked up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He finishes his own food not long thereafter. He usually does eat quite a bit, since he burns off everything he can pack in and more. When done, he uses one of the water bottles and a cloth to wash his hands off a bit, then starts packing everything away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya was smiling while she helped cleaned up. This was an all-new experience for her and she was enjoying every second of it. They definitely had to do this again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	From the efficiency of the set up, it seems he's done this quite a few times before. When everything is packed back into the car, he offers a hand, and heads for the stadium, exchanging a few more quips with Saints fans and high-fives with a small handful of Giants fans.

	She took the offered hand and held onto it as they walked. She ignored the photographers and there was even a news camera or two that had been filming tailgaters. She just walked next to Jimmy and even shot a few quips of her own back at Saints fans. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gets into line, continuing to chat with the people around them as people start to make their way in once the doors are opened, then heads for the seats Anya got them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-03 01:05 am UTC (link)
	They weren't the best seats, but they were still good. About twenty five rows back around mid-field. It was the first time Anya was watching a game from seats. She usually watched games from a luxury box. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He catches a vendor's attention and pays for a couple of drinks. He definitely doesn't need more food, but soda during the game is a good thing. He chats a bit with the people around him, regardless of which team they're rooting for, enjoying the crowd as part of the stadium experience. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Anya watched the game and cheered loudly for her Giants. Anya got a few questions from the people around her and she answered them enough to satisfy the people, but not give too much away. Thankfully most were more interested in the game than they were her.

Giants scores were celebrated by loud cheers and a kiss or two with Jimmy. It was the most fun Anya had at a game.

	Despite the fact the Saints go up pretty quick, and with it, the crowd gives the Giants fans a harder time, he's obviously having a lot of fun, and enjoying both the back and forth with people, and Anya's method of celebrating Giants' scores. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Despite football games taking three hours, Anya felt like the time flew. She had been under the influence of a good time. She was a little disappointed when the game ended because the game was over and because the Giants lost. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Buck is still socializing a bit with the people around them, taking more ribbing from the Saints fans, assuring Giants fans they'll get them next time, eventually packing up, offering Anya a hand, and heading for the exit. "Enjoy the game?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did. You?" she asked as she took the offered hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	He keeps a good grip on her hand and remains pressed in close, used to this, and well aware how easy it is to lose someone in the press of people on exiting the crowded stadium. "Yeah, everything but the result was perfect!" he calls back over the noise of the crowd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Agreed," Anya said. "Maybe next week we'll get a win. Though I think they're playing the Packers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, the Pack is always a tough one, but at least they have them at home, which can't hurt. We can definitely go to that game if you'd like... either go tailgating out there, or we can try it your way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan. Just let me know. If you can't make it, no big deal. I know Stark business takes you all over... but I'm really enjoying spending time with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
