Just Get Me Flowers (A Pedro Pascal story)

Chapter 5// Restaurant buzz

When I get home I'm greeted at the door by mon. She looks nice signaling to me we are going to somewhere nice which is a good sign for me  because that means it's either Apalania grill, Sea side manor, crimson reef, JP's, or Market street.

When I ask where she refuses ti tell me only telling me to dress up a little. I hate when she refuses to tell me. So I just choose a nice simple green dress. The dress is about to my knee and ruffles out a tiny bit. Over the simple too I place a black corset for the structured look it gives and the way it brings in my waist a little bit. I put in some silver moon earrings along with putting on a few silver rings and necklaces each ring based around a planet. Lastly I grab my bracelet with engraved Norse runes on it along with an engraved raven in the middle. I braid my hair in an attempt to make its frizz a little less prominent before heading downstairs. Mom seems happy with my effort only to frown when I reached for my boot heels instead of the flashy pair she insisted on buying me despite my constant telling her no. I mumble something about being on my feet all day and she lets it go with a huff.

She is dressed in a light purpleish pink dress that goes to her mid shine. She has gold jewelry and Some small heels. She has some light make up on where as
I have simple eyeliner and lipstick on with freshly groomed eyebrows. Not due to my lack of make up I just have No skill and don't want to embarass myself. When we are about to leave mom remembers something. I pull out my Phone and take a picture of what I'm wearing to send it to Steven and to show Pedro the next time we run into each other.

My moms voice startles me as she walks back in. "Are you ready Willow?" I nod as she speaks. I grab my jacket as I make my way out the door. I shoot a quick happy anniversary text to Steven before placing my phone in my jacket pocket. I think to myself that I'lol just send him the picture of my outfit later before I post it to my instagram.

When we arrive to the restaurant I'm happy when it is Crimson Reef a very stylish sushi bar and grill the is highly known for its lively atmosphere amongst some famous circles.

I never really understood the need to bother those that are famous. Yes they work in the public eye but they are still people. Don't get me wrong I've gotten excited at the sight of celebrities but I never thought to go up and talk to them unless at an event where they are getting paid to "deal" with me.

Mom always thought I was shy and that was why but as right as she was I had my own rules one of them being don't "bother" a famous person unless they start the conversation, you are working with or for them, or you are in a situation where it is needed.

The girl at the hostess stand asks my mom a few questions before leading us to a table by an open window. Glancing out you can see the ocean " guaranteeing" the sea food is fresh.

I anxiously observe the other tables looking for anyone to watch and entertain myself with. What am I kidding I was looking for Pedro in hopes his cheery and lovable attitude may save me from my anxiety.

"And for you?" I am startled slightly not realizing a waiter had arrived at the table already. We order our food and mom gets her favorite. Mom said something about the waiter thinking I was cute. I smiles and laughed. She lives for pointing out those who "check me out" according to her. I used to believe she was wrong but the older I've gotten the more aware of people I also became.

"Thanks mom... you always know how to get me out of my head" I loved when she smiled to me that was when she was most herself even if only for a moment.

As my mom and I spoke I continued to glance and watch as people interacted. I couldn't help but smile when my eyes locked on a familiar form now in a nice looking suit. Next to him a tall beautiful women who I assume is his sister.

I don't think he's noticed me and fairly now that he's here I'm nervous for when/if he sees me.

Mom spots me watching him as ha and his sister are placed at the table over from us. When I glance back at mom and see her looking at me I can't help but to feel nervous.

"Who's caught your eye?" As she asks I feel my cheeks heat up and a slight awkwardness crawl up my spine but I just try to shrug.

"I don't know what you're talking about mom" I mumble as I pull out my phone trying to distract myself. But I can feel her eyes on me and looking up she has her "bullshit" mom face on. I glance at Pedro and then back at mom. "I just recognized someone I met at work a few days ago" she stares at me questioning my for a moment but let up when the waiter came back with our food.

The moment her eyes are off of me I look back at Pedro who is laughing with his sister. When he settles down he looks around for a second with searching eyes and that's when he notices me. Staring like a creep.

The moment he smiles my anxiety both seems to high-ten and dissipate. A warm feeling begins to sprout all over. I advert my gaze but by the warm feeling at the side of my head I can tell he doesn't.

Oh lord what has the universe gotten me into.
