Russian to the Rescue
"TAXI!" Cait yelled and leaned out over the curb with her hand raised. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cabs in New York and Cait couldn't get one to stop. They all zoomed by without even slowing down. She knew she should have taken the train back, but she didn't like the train. It was irrational, yes, but it was the way it was and she had elected to take a cab. However, none were stopping and she didn't want to be stranded in the city for the night.

Time to call the cavalry.

She dialed Vlad's number.

	"You'll get there, no doubt about it. Being awesome does that. But if we can't get the whole surface frozen, going here instead isn't a big deal. No pesky students at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well if the ice is thin we know I can always just swim instead. But how about we not make decisions on empty stomachs? Because I think that's our food there..." He grinned and rubbed his hands in anticipation as the waitress brought a bunch of plates over to their table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," Cait said to the waitress. "MMM it smells wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tastes even better I'm sure," he said after thanking the waitress, and swiped one of the satay sticks. "Guess it wasn't such a bad thing you had no luck with cabs today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled. "I'd say I got lucky. No cab, but lunch with a very handsome man and we're going ice skating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I aim to please," he smiled and saluted her with his fork. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please you do," Cait said with heat touching her cheeks. She returned the fork salute. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm glad that aim is successful," Vlad smiled and leaned across the table to kiss a blushing cheek. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-09 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Cait blushed more when he kissed her cheek. "Right on target." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I'll make sure to keep it up." He had to admit he thought she looked even cuter when she blushed, which was why he was doing this instead of already finishing off plates of food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait's cheeks were red and she focused on some of her food. "This is really good," she said after a few bites. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad chuckled and moved his attention to his food. "Yeah, it is. Trying to remember why I didn't drop by here more often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can skip the trying to catch a cab step and just call me right away," he suggested. "Then thai food galore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We could both use some more time away from the madhouse." While the folks at Xavier's were like family, some were family, a nice break from the place once in awhile was needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughed lightly. "Just my luck. Fortuna does not smile on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Think she'd listen to you better than me," he smiled. "Oh and if I'm eating too much of what we ordered and you want more, we can always order more." He had to mention it, turns out he'd been hungrier than he thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-10-15 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Eat as much as you want," Cait said. "I'm getting full already. I'll put in a good word for you with Fortuna." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
