I felt like writing a bit more ;D

She Flirts, He flirts Not

Tara arrived with my order. The buttons on her white blouse have been done up to her neck, so her breasts were no longer on view. I was almost thankful. Almost.

She set the plate down and seated herself opposite me.

"Is it customary for the waitress to sit with her customer?" I asked, avoiding looking at her so I won't stare and recieve another slap.

"It just so happens that I'm on my break, but if you want, I can leave..." she paused, smirking.

"No, fine." I snuck a glance at her as I cut a thin slice of duck. Her hair was pulled back in a loose braid now, with short, tufty strands of hair framing her heart-shaped face. She had unusual blue eyes. They matched the rest of her though.

"The meat's a bit too dry," I commented as I chewed.

"Really now?" she muttered with an eyebrow raised. "How would you know exactly?" I just glared at her.

"They still haven't got a proper photo of me on my bounty, of course she doesn't know who I am." I muttered to myself, lighting a cigarette.

"Sorry, what?" Tara leaned in. I had to hold my inner-swoon back.

"N-Nothing," I mumbled, trying very hard not to stare at her rack which was currently pressing up against the table as she leaned in.

"Who are you anyways?" she asked.

I sighed. "A pirate. Pirate Cook, to be precise."

"Hmmm... I haven't heard of many of those...so you must be... no way, 'Black Leg' Sanji!"

I practically choked on my cigarette butt. "You're right! But how...?" She completely ignored me.

"Wow...you're a Straw Hat pirate...and your bounty's quite high...77'000'000 Beri.."

"Not as high as Marimo Head." I gunrted and she looked at me quizzingly.

"Do you not like Pirate Hunter Zoro by any chance?" she asked innocently but with a devil's smirk on her pretty face.

"No, just brotherly love, you know how it is." I replied sarcastically.

"I know someone quite famous in this area." she sighed. I smiled.

"Who knows, maybe we've met them." She shook her head, which surprised me.

"No, you don't know her," she smirked. "But you might once you've stayed here for a while." She got up and stretched her arms above her head, the buttons straining over her chest. I subconsciously wiped the blood from my nose. "My break's over, and you've finished your meal by the looks of it. Don't bother with pay, first meal's on the house. See you around." She took my plate with one hand and with the other pulled a small card from her bra (stupid nose, stop pouring blood like a weakling!) and set it on the table where the plate was seconds ago. She sauntered off, making sure to swings her hips tauntingly. My jaw dropped.

I picked up the card. Wiping the blood off with a sleeve, I noticed the card was ocean blue with 'Tara' scrawled in a rare, white ink. Under her name was a large zig-zag line that was obviously a lightning mark. What did that symbolize again? I had no idea. Without really thinking, I left a tip and zombie-like, headed back to the ship. I didn't talk to anyone, even though everyone complained about me being gone all day and having no lunch so they had to go buy it themselves. I waved them off, lit a cigarette and locked the kitchen behind me. It was the only place where I could be alone.

Today was surprising, I thought. I didn't flirt with Robin-chan or Nami-san, I didn't flirt with any women, or with that Tara girl. Yet she flirted with me. The thought seemed almost too good to be true. Could it really be that she liked me? Or was she just a player?
