Fast Eddie's - Friday night

After visiting Xander yet to be played out Parker headed for Fast Eddie's, and started practicing her shots before Weiss showed up.

Chris gave Parker a nervous wave when he spotted her, but he was too busy shifting his weight from foot to foot, hoping Jo was actually going to show up. He had a gift (http://www.ftd.com/5970/catalog/product.epl?product_id=X050&index_id=occasion_imsorry) with him, which he set on the table he rented.

"Hey, Chris," Jo said, waving as she came over to him.

"Jo, you made it," Chris said, smiling with relief. "I rented the table for an hour, do you think that will be long enough?"
wannabehunter: (happy)

Jo smiled back. "Should be enough to get a good start at least," she said.

His smile grew a little bit bigger and a lot dorkier. "Oh, um, this is for you," he said, holding out the gift.
wannabehunter: (smile)

"Aw, thanks," Jo said, taking it. "That's so sweet of you."

"Well, you deserve a lot more than that after the way I treated you last weekend," Chris said. "But I figured this was a good start."

He ducked his head shyly and then turned his attention to the table. "Okay, so... I know a little bit about pool," he said, not adding that he had done research on the internet over the last few days. "And I know we have to rack the balls, but I'm not sure how to do that."
wannabehunter: (studying)

"Well, it can vary depending on the game," Jo started racking the balls as she spoke. "But most times the eight ball goes in the middle of the rack."

Chris watched her move the balls into position NOT DIRTY OMG and nodded. "And you don't want to get the eight ball in until you get the rest of the balls in, right?"
wannabehunter: (o rly?)

Re: Chris & Jo

[personal profile] wannabehunter 2007-01-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh huh," Jo replied. "You do that before you've got your balls in and you've lost."

"I think I can handle that," Chris said, walking over to the wall rack and pulling down two cues, passing one to her. It occurred to him, belatedly, that a date involving anything that could be construed as a weapon might not be the best idea.
wannabehunter: (ahhhh i see)

Jo, conversely, might have chosen the pool hall specifically for that reason. "Good to hear. So you know anything about how to break?"

Re: Chris & Jo

"In theory? Yes," Chris said, chuckling a little. "In practice, well, I guess we'll find out."

He bent down and lined up his shot, holding the cue the way the people on the instructional videos on the net had shown and aimed the cue ball at the rest of the balls.

It was a pretty weak break though, only moving the outer balls a few inches.
wannabehunter: (ahhhh i see)

"Well, that's an... okay break for a beginner," Jo said. "Or for the setup part of the hustle."

"That's totally what I was doing," Chris lied through his teeth.

It was a pretty obvious lie.
wannabehunter: (omg guys omg)

[personal profile] wannabehunter 2007-01-27 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Totally," Jo nodded, even though she totally didn't believe him. "Now, since you didn't get any balls in, I get the next shot."

Re: Chris & Jo

"Right," Chris smiled.

He may have been reciting a silent mantra in his mind. Don't check her out when she bends over, don't check her out when she bends over.

Jo bent over to line up her shot, pocketing the nine ball. Without straightening, she looked back over her shoulder at Chris. "Now since I got a stripe, that means that you're going to be trying to land the solids."

Re: Chris & Jo

Chris's gaze was totally focused on some random spot not anywhere near Jo as he nodded. "Okay. But you get another shot since you got one in, right?"
wannabehunter: (ahhhh i see)

Re: Chris & Jo

[personal profile] wannabehunter 2007-01-27 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Jo nodded. "Until I either miss a shot or I sink one of yours."

Re: Chris & Jo

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-01-27 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Why do I have a feeling I'm not getting another shot?" Chris teased.
wannabehunter: (smile)

Jo grinned. "Because I'm kind of good at this?"

"So, I was told I could find a completely hot secret agent femme fatale type here," Weiss said from behind Parker. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear. "Think I found her."
