Chapter (7): Back On Track?

Gina walked out the kitchen with an order to serve and caught Sage staring at someone sitting at the booth with a college girl as she assumed. She went up to Sage and nudged her elbow, grabbing her attention and finally Sage drew her eyes away from the stranger to her friend.

"What's up with you? Why are you staring daggers at the customer right there?"

Sage stuttered. "Umm it's the, um... she is the woman."

"The what?"

"The woman." she said again.

Gina's eyes grew wide at the realization. "The woman! Oh yeah, yeah! The one in your sketch! Girl, what is she doing here? And who is this chick with her? Her wife?"

"No, no, that's her sister. We met when I returned back her coat that day."

"Did she see you though?"

"She did and it was... kind of awkward."

Gina sighed. "What did you do?"

"Nothing, we said hi and she stared at me like I did, we smiled and she ordered and she went back to her sister, and... I think you have their orders at your hand right now." She pointed at the tray that Gina was holding.

"Okay, you know what, you like that woman, so take the tray."

"Gina, no." She shook her head vigorously.

"Yes, girl. Take it and take your chance."

Meanwhile Gina and Sage were talking, Adrienne was receiving looks from Hanna since she got back to her seat.

"Don't give me that look, Hanna."

"Well, I can't help it. You're not being yourself since you got back here. So, what is it? Did you meet Quinn again?"

Adrienne chuckled. "No not Quinn but..." She inhaled and pointed with her head backwards at Sage.

Hanna squeezed her eyes to have a good look and when she noticed it was the same girl that returned Adrienne's coat, she gasped as a reaction.

"It's the girl, the one who came a few days ago! Did you know that she works here?"

"No, not at all. I was just ordering up and-"

"Why are you nervous about this?"

"I'm-I'm not nervous, just surprised, that's all."

Hanna looked back at Sage and noticed that Sage was looking at Adrienne.

"Uhhh, either she likes you or wants to kill you because she's staring at you, Aid."

"What?" She smiled and right as she was turning her head to look back at Sage she was startled by Hanna.

"Don't look back!"

"Okay, okay, Jesus, chill."

Hanna looked at Sage then turned her eyes on Adrienne as she whispered, "Okay, pretend that you're talking to me because she's coming towards our table with the orders."

Sage took a deep breath with the tray in her hand and with a smile on her face as she approached their table, placing their orders down and Hanna locked eyes with Sage then caught the name tag.

"I knew you looked familiar back there... Sage." said Hanna.

Sage looked back at Hanna with a small smile as she saw her reading her name tag.

"Unique name you have there. I like it. It suits you." said Hanna and Adrienne glared at her.

"Thanks." said Sage looking back and forth between them with nervous feeling.
