The Restaurant "Buca Di Beppo"

Once they walked in the restaurant Zoro spotted the table with his friends and led Tamika. They were doing the usual, Luffy was eating meat, but not in a ridiculously fast pace like he normally did. Sanji was beside Nami flirting and the others were eating as well. Luckily for Zoro, there were 2 open seats at the table.

"Oi Zoro where have you been?!" Luffy yelled.

"Uh no where, just took a detour". This made Tamika laugh. Within seconds Sanji started doing his usual twirly dance when he saw Tamika.

"Who is she?" Luffy asked.

" She is Tamika. Uh… she is a friend of mine". Tamika liked how he considered her a friend already. " Oh Tamika don't worry about that curly eyebrow pervert, just ignore him".

"What did you say you asshole?" Sanji yelled angrily.

"You heard me"

The last thing Nami wanted was a fight in the middle of a fancy restaurant. "Sanji-Kun, can you pour me some water please?"

"Sure my love".

Then the whole crew's eyes landed on Tamika. They were all staring as she took the last gulp of sake. They all had one thought, why did she have Zoro's sake? That's as rare as Nami sharing money to a stranger or Luffy sharing meat to his own crew mate or Sanji ignoring a woman. Speaking of Sanji, he was drooling all over himself looking at Tamika.

Zoro noticed the stares and so did Tamika. She came close to him and whispered into his ear, "Why are they staring at me?" Her warm breath on his hears almost sent a shock of electricity down his spine.

He got irritated at his crew. " Is something wrong?" he asked in a somewhat pissed off voice.

"Uh it's nothing, I just don't remember the last time you shared your sake with anyone" , Usopp said.

"I don't think you ever shared your sake", Nami added.

Tamika was glad that they weren't staring at her for bad reasons. She thought it was cute that he shared his sake with her since he never shares sake. "So what? Thats not a big deal". He brushed it off. Then he pulled out the chair so Tamika can sit beside him. This caused the crew to shocked again. He is never this kind to people.

Zoro and Tamika ordered their food. Everyone else already ordered. Zoro settled for some seeking meat with gravy and vegetables along with some spicy pasta. He was really hungry. Tamika ordered a gourmet burger along with some mini sausage bites. And they both ordered a lot of sake.

The night went on as people kept eating and the Straw hats kept talking about their usual things. Zoro and Tamika had their own conversations for the most part but occasionally joined in with the whole group. Everyone in the crew, except for Luffy, noticed a change in Zoro as he talked to Tamika. He was smiling more and laughing more. The grumpy and reserved side of him was not very much evident. And they also noticed the look on Tamika's eyes. She stared into Zoro's eyes as he spoke. Nami and Robin knew the look in her eyes. It was not ordinary.

Zoro told her about how he got that scar from Mihawk and she traced her fingers across the scar. For some reason, she wanted to touch the scar and at the same time, feel his body. Zoro felt electricity flow through his body as she traced the scar. Sanji wasn't watching at this time or else he would cry. He was already jealous. The only reason he was calm is because Nami told him to.

Nami and Robin both had a similar feeling. They didn't want to admit it, but deep down, they were a bit jealous. Nami knew Zoro since the very beginning and never has he treated her as nicely as he did to Tamika. She never really cared how he treated her until she saw him with Tamika. Robin was kind of dumbfounded. She never had any feelings for Zoro so she didn't understand why it was hard for her to see Zoro with Tamika. There has always been some "sexual tension" between the two but that was about it. She was just surprised how Tamika was able to win him over so quickly. What did Zoro see in Tamika that wasn't in her? Both Nami and Robin tried to clear their heads but seeing Tamika trace Zoro's toned chest and abs made them even more uncomfortable. They knew they were jumping to conclusions. It's not like Zoro and Tamika are together. And even if they were, shouldn't they be happy for him?

After a while, the straw hats were ready to leave and head back to the ship. As they were walking out, Zoro walked beside Tamika. They found out a lot about each other in one night. Zoro never opened up to someone that much that fast. His own crew didn't know much about him for a long time and they still don't much.

"So, do you need a place to sleep or anything?" Zoro asked.

She really wanted to go with him, but she didn't want to push it too much. "No I have a place for tonight but thanks for the offer". The rest of the crew was walking a on ahead of them and she knew Zoro had to catch up or else he will get lost. Then she smiled. "If you ever get lost on this island, you can come find me and I'll help you find your way." She said and handed him her vivre card.

He was surprised and kind of happy that she gave him her card. "Thanks, I guess I'll see you around".

He was about to turn away when she said, "I'll be free all day tomorrow in case you want to get lost". She winked at him and walked away. That left Zoro surprised. He made a note to himself to make sure he gets lost tomorrow.

He caught up to his crew who started walking back the the Sunny.
