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.

	He nods. "Yeah, I know that feeling. Still, try and enjoy the quiet while you can, I guess. The big things come up whether we take some time in between them or not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know, I would actually welcome it. It would help be not think about work for a bit. Well, the other work. I'm tired of meetings and looking at numbers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She squeezed her hand. "You're already doing it. Going out with you helps me relax." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair enough." he replies, returning the squeeze. "I think I can handle that one then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Getting back out to the car and settling in to let traffic thin a little, he opens her door for her, with a wink, then moves around to the driver's side and settles in. "I'll do my best not to disappoint then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I know you will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	He leans over, kissing her more firmly. The car isn't ideal for it, but at least its somewhat more acceptable than too much PDA in the stands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-04 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Anya happily returned the kiss and may have groaned just a little. When the kiss ended she smiled. "See? You don't disappoint." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-05 12:07 am UTC (link)
	He relaxes back in the driver's seat, reaching over to rest a hand on her knee, rubbing just slightly. "That's always the goal. Looks like its starting to clear too, ready to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-05 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Ready when you are," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pulls out into traffic. Its slow going for a good half hour, getting through the lot and the crowded streets around the stadium before things open up. He heads from there to where they can catch transit out to Bourbon Street, not even attempting to drive anywhere near the French Quarter, mostly more accessible on foot.

	"Sometimes we would take the ferry over to Algiers' Point and look at the city across the river." She smiled. "I just liked taking the ferry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whatever I want?" she asked and waggled her eyebrows. She was joking, but she could joke with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Keeping in mind we're in public, for the moment anyway. But humor me, what would you ask for, hm?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya smiled. "Oh a few things," she said with a mischievous gleam in her eyes. She eyed him up and down. "Yup. I know what I want, but I can wait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-08 02:49 am UTC (link)
	He notes the mischief in her expression, grinning a bit on noting it. "Going to tell me so I'm thinking on it til we get to the hotel, or going to keep me guessing, hm?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
