He chuckled as he was forcefully pulled in and smiled at Meredith a little wider.
"You're awesome....Now, where do you wish to sit, my dazzling woman?"

"Hmm.. we need attention. I want to see the jealous women and their dumbfounded men.. [i]To be quite frank, I should start a brawl[/i].." [i]Meredith laughed, still searching for a place to sit. There were booths, stools, tables..[/i]
-
Chuck chuckled and shook his head at Meredith's mention of starting a fight, thinking she was joking. "I'm not sure if a fight is necissary, my dear. Also, I bet they're already plenty jealous I have you to myself tonight."
-
"Hey, I'd protect you.. don't tell me that you haven't ever punched someone. You have, right?" [i]Meredith laughed, leading Chuck to a booth. From there, her left hand, which was hidden from view, began to formulate and create a deep brown object: a wallet, packed with fake cash.[/i]
-
"If only you knew..." He sighed following her to the booth, oblivious to the wallet in the woman's hand. "I've done more than I'd like to admit."
-
"...We all have. Most of us have, anyway. Me, I'm.. lucky. ...Let's lighten up the mood. Get drinks. I can't get drunk, [i]I think[/i]. Doesn't mean I can't try." [i]Meredith smiled a little, shrugging. Though it was a sad one, as if giving away her care for Chuck.[/i]
-
"I try to drink it away, but fail too. I'm unable to get drunk...sadly." He smiled at Meredith, a fake one, but it was obvious he was at least trying to be happy. "So, what brought you here?"
-
"Me? Well, it's.. complicated. I'm doing some spying stuff on the Dojo.. nothing's coming, I think. But if you know any mercs or guys 'n girls with big guns, well.. ...Look, I'm not a fighter. I could be, thanks to programming, but I talk most the time. I need people, that's.. that's a simpler explanation."
-
Chuck leaned back in the booth seat and sighed while running a hand through his hair. "I know of plenty of people you could hire, but now I'm wondering if you brought me here just for the knowledge I have about the people here at the Dojo."
-
"That.. wasn't the plan, actually.." [i]Meredith didn't seem angry at Chuck for saying that. Uncomfortable, maybe even surprised, were the right words to describe her reaction.[/i] "So you.. think I'm just using you for info? I thought that people talked about nicer things 'n had a good time on dates, not use each other."

Chuck sighed, looking a little down because he accused her. "We should be happy and cheerful on a date. That's what they're meant for. Fun."

[i]Meredith got up to actually sit next to Chuck in the next booth, wrapping her arm around him and biting her lip before speaking.[/i] "It's fine. I know what you mean, people seeming.. [i]too nice[/i], when they want something. I've dealt with those types before, you just have to deal with them and move on." [i]Meredith was plotting though, if Chuck tried to cuck her. Hue hue.[/i]

He leaned on her slightly and smiled a little, happy to have someone at least acting like they care. "Thank you, Meredith. You're too kind. Dinner is on me tonight. Now, why don't we move onto something more happy?"
