4:38pm L.A. 1990
The smell of cooked meat filled the restaurants air. Loud music played while Crystal and Rosie stood seated at a mini table. The restaurant was filled with family's, friends and people all around. It was such a popular restaurant that at times it was hard to even get a table. "I'm going to the rest room I'll be back"
Rosie excused herself from the table and Crystal watched. The swan shaped clock ticked 4:40 and Crystal watched as everyone ate their food. The feeling of boredom took over and Crystal watched the built up condensation slide down the glass cup and fall onto the table making a puddle of clear liquid appear.
She placed the straw to her lips and took a sip of the ice cold water before twirling it around the water creating a swirl in the middle of the cup. She tapped her red nails onto the wooden table while resting her chin on the palm of her other hand. As she looked up from the cup, familiar faces could be seen all around.
Cool air hit her face from the slightly open window as she watched people walk past. Woman with kids walked with heels high up and fur coats as big as their body's while men walked along side of some of them with a brief case in hand and a black suit on. They all looked so amazing and it was something Crystal aspired to become. A rich white woman with a rich white man.
Crystals thoughts were cut short and she became almost sick to her stomach when she saw a figure of a man in a white tank and brown baggy jeans. Her eyes followed the man like a bird and its prey. She saw the outline of a tall man and his similarities to the man from the club was almost identical which made her heart skip a beat.
Rosie had finally came back from the restroom and now was making her way back to the table. Her black bag sat on table before Rosie positioned herself in her seat, becoming much more comfortable. Crystal was still looking at the man as she swirled the ice around in the water.
"Okay are you good or what" Rosie's voice was soft and had a linger of concern running through the tip of her tongue "come on just turn around already!" Crystal didn't respond and spoke to herself until pleading for the man to turn around leaving Rosie extremely confused "okay I don't know what you got going on hija but.. "
Rosie's concern grew and not only did she not know what was happening, she also didn't know who her best friend was looking at. Rosie shrugged her shoulders and opened up her bag letting her hand fall right in as she searched around for her lipstick.
Crystal grew impatient as the man never looked back and just continued to laugh with his friends and before she could react, the smell of fresh food grew closer to her nose. She still didn't look back and kept her eyes glued to the window "don't mind her she's going crazy right now and I don't know what's going on"
