"Here's your table, Ma'am. Just call me by the counter whenever you are ready with your order."
"I'm still waiting for someone." Crystal politely responded before the waiter showed her a courteous bow then walked out of her table. She fixed her hair repeatedly as she looked around the small diner, nervously glancing at the door as she waited for someone. She even downed three glasses of water already as her leg bounced, excited yet tensed for her first date.
She was sipping on her fourth glass of water when the bells on the door rang, signaling a new customer coming in. Her eyes immediately shot to where the noise came from, her eyes landing on a tall woman wearing a long, fitted red dress that reached almost to the floor, her dark hair pinned up into a messy bun that still looked glamorous. Crystal didn't even realize she wasn't breathing anymore until the lady walked towards her and tapped her on the shoulder, a bright smile painted on her face.
"Hi. I'm sorry I'm a little bit late. I didn't realize how heavy the traffic in this city is." The red-haired woman had to blink a few times as she continued staring at the black-haired lady in front of her. She wanted to say hi or comment on whatever she said but nothing came out of her mouth. "Anyway, I feel silly. People gave me weird looks when I entered the door... Am I overdressed?"
Crystal chugged on her water whilst she shook her head, chuckling a little. "No no... You look incredible tonight, Gigi. I..." didn't expect this, she finished the sentence in her mind as she took another glance of the woman in front of her. She leaned in, covering one side of her mouth and whispered softly, as if hiding a secret. "You want to go somewhere where they don't care about the way we dress?"
The model leaned and did the same gesture, giggling at their 'secret conversation', "Where?"
"Come with me." The red-haired woman stood up and offered her hand which Gigi gladly took, pulling them both out of the small diner and ran towards another side of the town.
"I guess we have all we need now, right? Some heat-up, instant sandwiches from the convenience store, some chips and fruit juice boxes." Crystal muttered as she held up the bag that held all the snacks they bought from the grocery store, Gigi giggling as she nodded.
"I suppose this fancy dinner would be really enjoyable."
"Of course, Madame. They were all fresh and handpicked by yours truly." The red-haired woman gave a playful wink before she stopped in front of a huge tree in the middle of the park. "And here's our table." She let out a soft laughter before taking off her jacket, laying it down on the grass before leading Gigi to sit on it.
"How about you?"
"I'm totally fine. I'm not the one who's wearing a gown to a diner anyway." The little joke made Gigi laugh once more as she watched Crystal open the snacks they got, sharing some food and stories all through the evening.
The two didn't even realize how long they had been sitting under the tree, too absorbed with enjoying each other's company in their little picnic date. Crystal, from time to time, would be preoccupied into staring at the attractive woman in front of her, listening to all her stories about her modelling career and her travels and all the places she had been to. She seemed to be someone who just wouldn't settle down in one place, constantly traveling and exploring new places, wherever her feet would take her. Gigi appeared to be this free-spirited woman that won't let anyone stop her from doing whatever she wants and dream of. It was mesmerizing for Crystal to meet someone like her, intrigued at how she never lost energy into going around different places.
