TGI Friday's, Cambridge, MA- Monday night

[can_be_more]

Aeryn's learned that some dates have meaning, that the time between one yearly milestone and the next can be a really big deal. Thinking from last August 13 to this one, making it through an entire year almost deserves a congratuations.

Which is why she's seriously pissed off that the little blonde bitch with the stupid name that she never remembers called in sick again and didn't get anyone to cover for her, which means Aeryn is pulling a double shift on her anniversary and trying really hard not to threaten customers or coworkers.

"I'll be fine," John said and, as soon as she wasn't looking, he chucked a ketchup packet at the hostess.

Aeryn didn't see it, but the hostess did. And the hostess pulled Aeryn over when she could.

Which was why Aeryn wandered back over. "John?"

"Hmmm?" John asked, a mozzarella stick in his mouth.

[can_be_more]

"Don't throw things at the hostess," she said.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"That wasn't me!"

[can_be_more]

"Well, then take it under advisement as something not to do."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I will," he said and offered her a mozzarella stick.

[can_be_more]

She took it, and said, "Sorry I had to be here tonight."

"Why?" He smiled at her. "I'm having fun! Tell them it's my birthday and we'll get cake!"

[can_be_more]

"No, because then I have to sing," she said quickly. "Again."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Can I have a cake anyway?"

[can_be_more]

"I might be able to arrange it if the hostess doesn't blame you for the projectiles," Aeryn said.

"She takes one look at my innocent face and she won't be able to blame me," he said, putting on his best grin.

[can_be_more]

"...Uh huh."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I could flirt with her."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn just stared.

He laughed and reached for her hand. "Just kidding."

[can_be_more]

She let him take it, but said, "You'd better be. On our anniversary."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I am!" He planted a smacking kiss on the top of her hand.

[can_be_more]

She watched him, smiling a little and reaching over to touch his cheek. And the woman who'd choked earlier was whispering something to her husband about the service here.

"I think that woman's looking at us," John said, kissing the tips of her fingertips.

[can_be_more]

"She's not at one of my tables," Aeryn told him.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Oh." John waved at her then. The woman, not Aeryn.

[can_be_more]

"Don't tease," she said, but she's smiling.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"That's not teasing. If I got up and kissed you, that would be teasing."
