Her steps were slow as her eyes looked at her surroundings, it was a beautiful windy day in California. She had a few more blocks until she reached her destination. So, in the mean time her mind started to wonder about a few days ago when she met Walter by almost knocking him to the ground.
Since that day she never saw him again even though she had his phone number she didn’t feel the need to call him, but she had to admit, he seemed kind but what was a little disturbing was Dom not telling her about this Walter guy. She knew Dom’s friends, the majority of them…
She looked in her purse until she found the small piece of paper he had given her and stopped just outside a coffee shop to look closely at the numbers; he even had a beautiful handwriting.
She shook her head placing the paper back in her black purse and entered the small place ordering a small cup of hot chocolate and instead of walking back home she took a seat to enjoy the sweet liquid, she was glad about wearing jeans and a black sweater that match her comfy shoes, the place she was now was always cold.
“Who are you exactly, Walter?” she threw the question to the air pretending to read a brochure that was abandoned on the table in front of her. One thing for sure... they were going to meet again.

"It's complicated." Walter chuckled and looked up from a news paper he had been reading. Mia had sat down only a table away from him and her voice had pulled him away from the politcal report. "We've got to stop running into each other like this, people will begin to talk." He smiled widely and moved closer bringing his cup of coffee with him. His outfit was completely different now from his gym atire, a pinstriped grey and black suit with a dark blue tie made him stick out slightly in the resteraunt but he still found himself comfortable. "How have you been?"

She froze when she recognized the voice and blushed deeply and quickly looked down at her hands when she noticed he sat down next to her "Oh gosh," she said covering her face with her hands for a moment. Thinking to herself: 'way to go Mia...way to go',
"Hey... " she started to say offering him one of her best smiles. She chuckle. "I'm...I'm great," looking directly at him. '..and embarrassed too'. "How about you?"

"I am doing much better now," He chuckled and took a sip from his coffee, "Was hoping I'd hear from you instead of just running into you happenstance again." His smile faltered slightly, "You're flush, is your chocolate too hot?" He reached over and placed his hand over the top of her cup to feel the heat. "Unless I'm embarressing you, it's the suit huh?"

"Sorry about that, I got busy these past couple of days..." Wow, he really was looking forward to hear from her? She remembered once talking to Brian when they were still "kids", when he insisted on going out with her and her way to avoid to have a date with the ex-cop was by telling him she never dated his brother's friends which was true...but at the end of the day he won and ended up going out with him... She did it for Vince to shut him up but also because she felt drawn to the blonde guy.
She could still feel her cheeks warm and it was more the embarrassment of being caught than the chocolate that indeed was hot. She giggled, hard to hide the truth "A little bit of both," she finally confess to Walter.

"Sorry character flaw of mine." He winked. "Next time I un-intentionally run into you I'll be wearing my gym clothes again smelling to high heaven and sweaty. Sound good?" He laughed and adjusted his tie, "So, ever have had land o'lakes hot chocolates? They have about five or six different flavors. My favorite was always caramel chocolate." He moved his head slightly down to look at her better. She was acting shy. "You know it's okay to make eye contact with me, I'm not going to devour your soul chica."

“Next time?” she laughed and cleared her throat forgetting about that embarrassing moment, no longer avoiding his gaze. “I know…” making eye contact with him, the shyness no longer in her eyes
“I love Land O’lakes. Hmm…” she took a moment to remember her favorite flavor. “Caramel chocolate is delicious but I also became a fan of Chocolate and mint,” taking a quick sip of her drink that wasn’t as hot.

Walter looked around the resteraunt. "Honestly though, I prefer the taste of real cocoa. The bitter taste and warm milk, fresh milk. Makes all the difference. Brazil had some of -the- most esquisite cocoa I've ever had. But let's keep that between you and I since I don't feel like getting kicked out of here too." He chuckled and finished off his coffee. "So what are your plans today."

"I won't say a thing," doing a gesture with her hands. "I wouldn't want to get kicked out too," chuckling as she took the last sip of her chocolate.
"You're right about Brazil... 'brigadeiro' one of the most delicious truffle I've tasted," His father from Italy and her mother from Brazil, she had the best of both worlds, not only learning the language of each of her parents but also the food each holiday her mother prepared.
Lastly, she took a moment to answer his last question. "I really don't have plans for today which is a little weird 'cause I always have plans for the day,"

"Since giving you my number failed, how about going to see a movie? I can pick you up in..." He made a grandous gesture of checking his watch without looking at it, "Now?" He smiled looking across the table at Mia. "O que você acha bonita?" He asked in Brazilian-Portugues with a smile on his face.

She chuckled. He was right even though she still had his number she didn't give him a call plus he wasn't going to give up, this time she couldn't turn him down and he did it again, it was hard to refuse, specially when he was smiling like that "Eu adoraria ir," she replied. Her words with a perfect accent just like a carioca from Rio de Janeiro.

Walter began to inventory what change of clothes he had in his bug-out bag that currently lay in the back seat of his car. "What type of movies do you like. No let me guess...Romance Comedy with slight action...Something like Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" He looked at her eyes to see if his guess was even close. He never was too much of a profiler for a woman, he was better at hunting criminals, or working his way into their families. This was going to be more of a challenge.

Walter was at a loss, the guy was good when it came to flirting and convincing woman but not when it came to movies, it was fun to see how hard he was trying to guess. "Exactly!" she laughed. "Horror movies too," she added.

Walter laughed at himself. "I was way off. My bad." He blushed slightly and shook his head. "I've never been good at this sort of thing, so horror? What's your favorite?" He looked up at the waiter as he passed by, "Can I get another, extra dark?" His eyes shot back to Mia.

"Don't worry," Sweet! Now it was his time to blush. "It all depends what movies are right now," she shook her head at the waitress who took a moment to quickly write down what Walter ordered.
OOC: Sorry for my short post =S

"Well I know a place a block from here working a halloween run, mostly slasher flicks. Though they got a couple new japanese to american films. You know like The Ring and Insidious." He persed his lips. "Why do they concider slasher films horror...just gruesome and really stupid some times. I mean who get's naked when their best friends and boyfriend's go missing?" He chuckled. "I'd kill to get into one of those scream films. 'Do you know where I am?' No you SOB, do you know where I am?" He laughed at his gaudiness.

"Japanese are the scariest one, well some of them..." she started to say. "But 'Scream' was a whole different thing," remembering as a little girl hear her brother talk about this movie that was "so scary" and as time went on she decided to watch it and couldn't help but laugh it had its scary moments but nothing that bad. She ended up chuckling with Walter as he started to repeat the dialogue of the movie.

"The scariest part of Scream is the fact they made so many of them, I'll agree with you on the japanese ones. I still get the creeps over the grudge." He smiled at her and took the coffee without looking at the waitress. "After this cup we could go see what's playing. My offer still stands about driving the Vanguard." He nodded out the window at the car, "I think it's my lucky car now. Driven it twice, seen you both times."

'After this cup we could go see what's playing' he held his cup and started drinking. "Sound good to me," she then followed Walter's gaze and landed on the Vanguard. She couldn't help but smile at his last words.
It felt weird for a moment to go out with a friend of Dom's after everything that happened with Brian she swore that she'd never go out with another friend of her brother... yeah right.. and who she was spending her day with?
She had to admit though she was having a good day but it was hard to shut the voice inside her head that kept nagging at her about: Who really Walter was? So much mystery about this guy and yet she felt comfortable.

"Okay I'm not good at reading women, but I am good at reading people." He leaned in and squinted, "So something tells me behind those beautiful eyes is a question. Out with it." He smiled and leaned back sipping at the coffee and waiting patiently for the questions to fly. The Toretto family had a few skeletons in their closet from the past and if he was one of them she would want to know what he and her brother had worked together in the past and why she hadn't heard about him before. And after Brian had flown the coup post letting Dom go Walter knew trust would be hard to come by without honesty.
