Nick quickly jumped out of his computer chair, having just responded to Karen's comment, at the faint ringing of his cell phone. He dashed from room to room, trying to trace where the sound was coming from. It grew slightly louder as he neared his living room. "I can hear you..." He muttered to himself, beginning to throw pillow cushions over his shoulder.

He grinned broadly at the sight of his cell phone, snatching it up and accepting the call. "I found it," he said calmly into the phone, though his breathing was slightly uneven from racing around his apartment.

"NICKY! THAT WASN'T MY FAULT!" shouted Karen indignantly, jabbing a finger in his direction and - judging by how fiercely she had pointed - nearly taking his eye out. She huffed quietly and turned stiffly to face the wheel, refusing to look at him. "I AM ready, though," she added in an angry whisper.

Nick flinched at the sudden anger Karen was emitting, wishing he hadn't said anything to begin with. He sighed heavily, turning to look at her. Without another word, he stared at her apologetically, almost like a sad puppy, hoping his expression would either amuse her or make her soften and forgive him.

Karen wrinkled her nose and shifted uncomfortably in her seat, having the sudden feeling that his eyes were on her. In fact, she was certain Nick was staring at her now, and inclined her head ever so slightly to peer sidelong at him. Yep, she confirmed with an inward nod. She looked back ahead, over the steering wheel, and then quickly whipped her head around to face him, pulling a silly face and making an almost obscene noise.

"All right, all right, let's go get lunch," she muttered, chuckling under her breath.

I knew it'd work... Nick settled back in his seat again, an obvious smirk on his face. He tugged on his seatbelt, trying to get comfortable under the strap. With that all in order, he nodded his head slowly, "Yeah, let's. I'm famished now."

Karen herself smirked and finally got the car moving. She chatted idly to him over the blaring radio, surpisingly having a lot to say about how she hadn't actually done anything the past few days. About twenty minutes later, she found parking at RAWvolution and reached over to slap Nick on the knee. "Woo! We're here!" she exclaimed, as if the restaurant wasn't in plain sight.

Nick politely responded when it was needed, nodding and saying "Mhm" when it was appropriate. He would have asked her to turn the radio down, the music not being that good anyway, but he knew that would be a death wish with Karen. But what isn't? He inwardly shrugged, jumping in surprise at the sudden contact. "I can see that. It's not like the place is hidden, Kare," he said, grinning slyly and rubbing his knee.

Karen narrowed her eyes sagaciously, brought her hand up to stroke her chin, and then rubbed above her upper lip as if she had a mustache. "You never know. It could be hidden," she remarked quietly, though she couldn't help but sound incredibly amused - in fact, she looked as if she might burst out laughing at any moment. "But only WE can see it!" she finished, a silly grin spread across her face.

Laughing to herself, she quickly emerged from the car and, after carefully tucking the seat belt away, slammed the door.

Her laugh was infectious and Nick soon found himself in a fit of it as well. He slowly climbed out of the car, tossing the seatbelt aside and gently closing the door. He couldn't help thinking Silly Karen... before leading the way towards the entrance.

Which happened to be perfectly visible. None the less, he turned to look at Karen with a wide-eyed expression, waving his hands in an attempt to look mysterious. "I see it, wise sensei!"

He chuckled to himself, suddenly rubbing his stomach with one hand as he held the door open for her with the other. "I have the strange craving for pesto sauce..."

Karen blinked, momentarily wondering why he was waving his hands, and then it hit her. She quickly adopted her "wise" expression, making a contemplative noise under her breath. "You will learn yet, grasshopper," she whispered, patting his shoulder as she slipped past him to get into the restaurant first, even if he was holding the door open.

"Really? I keep tasting peanut butter in my mouth for some reason," she remarked, as if her response was completely related.

Nick rolled his eyes, noting never to open another door for her again. Though, he knew he would absently do it anyway in the future. Raising one eyebrow, he found an open table and made his way towards it.

"Peanut butter? Maybe it's a sign of things to come," he said seriously, lifting a menu and scanning it, chuckling under his breath.

Karen plopped down in the seat across from him, causing the chair to screech as it slid back a little from her force. Not noticing this, she picked up the menu and hummed happily as she looked at each individual item, her lips moving slightly as if she were reading them silently to herself.

"Yeah, maybe!" She suddenly slammed her palm down on the tabletop, staring at him wide-eyed. "Nick! We need to get something with peanuts in it then!"

Finding what he wanted, which happened to include pesto sauce, Nick glanced at Karen from over the top of the menu. She's acting more childish than usual today, he thought. Something is up... He quietly put his menu down on the table, continuing to stare at her. "But I wanted pesto," he said, giving her a wounded look.

He rubbed his chin in thought at her comment, trying to think of what she could possibly eat with peanuts in it. "You could try a thai dish," he suggested, noticing a waitress heading towards their table and offering her a small smile.

"Psh!" Karen rolled her eyes fondly, standing the menu up on the table top and then flicking it over. "Screw you and your pesto!" she remarked cheerfully with a grin.

She quickly trained the grin on the waitress as she stood at their table. "Hey there. Can I get peanuts?" she asked bluntly. In truth, she realised she was being more hyper today than usual, but she figured someone must have slipped crack into her cereal this morning and shrugged it off. Besides, she really was craving peanuts.

Nick burst out laughing at her bluntness. That's some tact, Karen, he thought. "I'll have a water and the Pesto Formage Pizza," he told the waitresses, glancing at her before returning his gaze on Karen, giving her a suspicious look.
