Who: Miles and Annalisse
What: Lunch
Where: Diagon Alley Cafe
When: Tuesday Afternoon
Rating: TBA
Status: In Progress

Miles was running a little bit late for lunch. He hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and the morning practice session was rough, not that he minded. He had barely had time for a quick shower in the locker room before heading to Diagon Alley for lunch. He had two hours before he was due back on the pitch.

It had been some time since he had seen Annalisse even though they spoke often over journals. There was a time after her graduation that they had seen a lot more of each other. Quidditch season had ended the summer affair, but there were no hard feelings there. With Miles life, it would have ended eventually. She had married shortly after and their respective careers had taken on a life of their own. He wondered for a moment how her husband would feel about them having a lunch date but he really didn't have anything to worry about. They were friends. There was nothing wrong with that.

Miles arrived at the cafe and looked around for the familiar head of dark hair, not seeing her at first. He was going to ask a waitress until he heard a voice addressing him.

Miles raised an eyebrow. "Nothing is ever what the papers report but there is usually a little bit of truth to the rumors," he said. "You two definitely went rounds before tying on the ball and chain. I didn't expect it so soon that year after graduation." He wasn't offended that they had split not long before. They had fun, no hard feelings about it.

"So I think you are a little bit crazy about the whole thing, but you already know my history when it comes to commitment. Perhaps I should say lack of history since I have never actually been committed. And if I ever do, I should probably be committed." He smiled and shook his head. "I won't fault you if it works for you but I like some variety in my life."

Annalisa gave a small shrug and a wobble of her head indicating that she both agreed and disagreed. "We get into rows but who doesn't? We're just a little too passionate I guess." To be honest she loved the fighting. Not always, mind, but usually. It made her feel alive if nothing else.

When he mentioned the timing she gave her own little half laugh her mouth turned in a semi-guilty smile. "Yeah... I mean, you know where I was that year, I wasn't exactly looking for forever but- I don't know, we'd been dancing around each other for so many years and our families were well matched. A lot of it had to do with responsibility as much as emotions, maybe more." Annalisa loved Bryce, there was no doubt about that, but she wasn't the sort of person to make decisions based on that love.

She laughed and shook her head. "Maybe you'll try it some day. It's nice. It's different, but it's nice." She had a feeling that some day 'variety' wasn't going to work for Miles and he'd want to settle down too, it would just take a lot longer she figured.

Miles shrugged, "I don't know about that. I can't be forced into something. I will rebel completely." He did know himself well enough to know that if someone arranged a marriage for him, he would be shagging every bird he could find. "I want someone to blow me away. I haven't met her yet, I don't think."

He looked up with his midnight blue eyes. It was a romantic notion. He didn't have many of them. "Since that is hard to do, I think I will stick to great sex." There really hadn't been anyone he had thought about in the long term, not to mention marriage. "Don't you ever get bored and want to rum for freedom for a little while?"
