[color=lightgreen]"I'm really glad that I came here, FaceTime and texting just aren't the same as having a face to face conversation."[/color] Maria said with a soft smile as she leaned forward and gently pressed her lips up against Alex's and sat back down. She looked towards the bag of clothes that she had right next to her. Then she started to listen to Alex as she spoke about her job and smiled at her girlfriend she was glad that Alex was enjoying her job. [color=lightgreen]"I'm really glad that you are enjoying your work aside from the driving and the dirty football players."[/color] Maria said with a laugh. Maria's face lit up she hadn't gotten to see Alex's place yet, and she was glad that she wouldn't be spending that time sleeping in some hotel.

Maria took a drink from her beer finishing about half of it down as her attention went to the news screen and saw the caption. [color=lightgreen]"It's the same weird news stories back in Pittsburgh, another incident like this happened shortly after a Pirates game."[/color] Maria sighed slightly she wasn't sure what was the sudden surge of violence with the police recently and decided to change the subject to lunch to the place Alex had suggested. [color=lightgreen]"That place sounds really good, and you already know me."[/color] Maria growing up always loved spicy food, she reached out to gently hold Alex's hand.

[color=lightgreen]"I first want to see your place, and that I wont have to lug my backpack around so much."[/color] She got up finishing up her beer and then laid some money out on the table. She wanted to at least repay her girlfriend for the Scotch, Maria then felt her phone vibrate for a moment she looked down and saw it was a text from her sister Kris wondering if she had gotten to D.C. in one piece. Which Maria quickly sent out a reply telling her younger sister that she did make it safely and would see her in two weeks.
