Coffee Date: RP for laws_of_dawes

Set Wednesday afternoon. *bends time*John knew he hadn't been seeing nearly enough of Rachel in the last few months. Things had been hectic for him, but she sure was going through her own stuff too. He felt a little guilty about that - he wasn't like Jean-Paul, who could talk about painful and emotional circumstances, and who could console

Rachel had been a little hesitant concerning meeting John up for coffee. She'd even had her cell phone in hand, ready to text him back with an excuse. She wanted to see him, she really did, but she'd been terrible company these past few days. And from what little conversations they'd had, it looked like John wasn't having very many good days either.

But wanting his company overrode her initial misgivings, and that's what found her strolling into the coffee shop ten minutes past four o'clock. Shoving her hands into her pockets, she scanned the room until she found him at the back of it. A small smile on her lips, she walked over to him.

"Is that seat taken?"

"Well, I don't know," he drawled playfully. "Some random hot guy might end up coming in. What if I want to seduce him and take him home for a foursome?"

His face broke into a grin. It really was good to see her. "It's taken by you," he said, gesturing. "Oh, but I didn't get you a drink because I didn't know what you might want?"

Rachel rolled her eyes good-naturedly, inwardly grateful he didn't give her that curious, concerned look she'd become used to once she met up with someone. "Pookies trump random hot guys, John. Surely you know this by now."

She slid into the spot next to him, waving a hand carelessly. "Don't worry about the drink, I'll get something in a sec. How are you? You haven't been waiting long, have you?"

"Nah, not long at all," John said. "Just got here."

He settled back into the couch a bit. "I'm doing... okay," he answered. He shrugged. "Busy with work, juggling relationships with the boys, boxing. I've gotten into boxing," he said, almost with disbelief. "Can't really believe that, but you know. It's good. How's it going with you?"
