A/N: I'm happy that I have over 20 reviews so thanks everyone! I consider everyone's opinion, the good and the bad. I have received two reviews in the same day tell me how I am not a very good writer so I would like tips or guidance to make my story better. I'm glad that some people like it, so I will continue the story for the time being. I also went out and bought Eleven on Top and I read it all in the same day! I can't wait till the next book! Enjoy!

I slipped my mirror back into my purse and hoped to God the men's room just happen to be this way. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I knew Ranger was behind me.

"Mr. Mañoso." Mac stood up and offered his hand to the man behind me. I could only wish that Ranger didn't recognize me.

"Let me introduce you to my current girlfriend." I stood up and faced Ranger.

"Steph this is Ricardo Mañoso. Mr. Mañoso, I would like you to meet Stephanie Plum."

I just looked at Ranger, he didn't seem surprised. He stuck out his hand.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Plum." I took his hand but didn't return his greeting. He turned back to Mac.

"We should get together soon."

"Yes, that would be excellent. How about the shooting range tomorrow?" Mac asked giving it little thought.

"That would be good. Say around 3:00?" Ranger asked completely ignoring me.

"Perfect. I will bring Stephanie with me, is that alright?" Ranger still didn't even glance at me.

"Actually I thought we could talk about business."

"I see. Stephie you don't mind do you?" Mac finally entered me into their conversation.

"Of course not Marco." I crushed the urge to yell and scream. "But honey you will be home for tonight, right?" I asked a little quietly. If Ranger could act like he doesn't know me then I can do the same.

"Wouldn't miss it." He turned back to Ranger. "We are set for tomorrow then?"

"Yes. I'll let you get back to your," he hesitated, "date." And like that he was gone. Believe it or not, I'm not sure what hurt more. It did hurt that he pretended not to know me but it also hurt that he didn't even pay attention to me.

Mac looked at me and waited. I just stared at him. He looked from me to my chair. Oh I get it, sit down. I sat down and opened the menu.

"I thought you knew him." Mac asked confused.

"I do. I don't know why he acted like that."

"We'll talk more about it later because I think our waiter has finally found us." I smiled at that. Do you ever notice how people can sense they aren't wanted?

"Hi my name is Tim and I'll be your waiter for this evening. Have you decided on dinner?" he wasn't exactly a heart-throb but he had cute down. He had a shy smile and brown hair that need to be trimmed. He has brown eyes that seem to say 'I'm here to serve.'

"Tim, I believe we will just have dessert tonight. Is that all right with you sugar?" I looked at Mac surprised.

"Yes, I was think the same thing." I looked at Tim. I licked my lips thinking about the 'Death by chocolate' cake. I saw Tim's eyes widen and I realized what I did. I looked at Mac for help and he arched an eyebrow as if to say, 'you did this to your self.'

"Tim, I will have the 'Death by Chocolate' cake. Honey, is there anything you would like?" Tim's mouth opened and he gave a little squeak. Luckily Mac interrupted him.

"Yes, I'll have the cheese cake." He had an amused smile on his face.

"They will be right out." Tim said a little breathlessly. He turned and walked away quickly.

"Well, well, well. Ms. Plum you still have your touch." I glanced up to find a solid man. His eyes looked like empty black holes and his mouth was curved into a small smile. His nose was crooked but not unattractively so. I know for a fact it had been broken before because I was one of the people who broke it. His hair was in a military buzz cut.

I looked at Mac and he seemed to be grinding his teeth together. His eyes had hardened and I think he was counting to ten. I stood up and stuck out my hand.

"It's nice to see you again…"
