At the sound of the nickname, Deigo’s head snapped to the side to stare at Kat once more.  Dropping his jaw open, he was about to make some sort of reflexive comment about “the D”, but whether it was Kat needing it, Diego more than willing to give it, or something else would remain a mystery as that playful look in her eyes told him clearly that she was likely expecting whatever kind of response he was make.  Instead, Diego merely nodded, his mind already whirling and trying to come up with a nickname he could use for Kat as soon as possible.<br/><br/>“I should definitely know to expect to be surprised at this point.”  Diego conceded with a laugh.  Had a single thing gone the way he had expected since the moment he had picked Kat up two nights ago?  Absolutely not.  And while Diego might not have minded when things were at least a<i>little</i>predictable, he found that even as he said the words he would not have wanted to change any of it one bit.  Sure it was a surprise around every corner, but he couldn’t deny that he was having a lot of fun.<br/><br/>Standing alongside Kat, it was Diego’s turn to grin in amusement.  “Oh yes, my plan is to get you at least a little drunk.”  He replied, winking her way before turning to scan over the heads of the crowd.  “How else am I going to be sure I get to have my way with you all night once we get back to the room?” Diego joked, although he spoke a little too loudly, catching quite the look from an older couple passing by on their way to the buffet.<br/><br/>“Something strong I think.”  He sighed, having caught the look.  “A Long Island Ice Tea or something.  Maybe I need a little more alcohol in me to stop me from putting my foot in my mouth constantly.  Or maybe it will make it worse.  I guess that will be a surprise for you!” He chuckled, bumping her with his hip.
