When A Stranger Arrives (WayHaught)

Part 3- The Date

Waverly arrived at Shorty's, she stood outside staring at the doors. Nerves started to overtake her body. She inhaled deeply and then exhaled to try and calm herself down. She pushed open the doors to find the bar full of people. She had a quick look around, to find Nicole already waiting, sitting up to the bar. Waverly stood there stunned, mouth open, eyes widened. She looked absolutely gorgeous. She was wearing a blue button-down shirt and some navy blue skinny jeans. Her red locks was left hanging loose. Waverly was mesmerised. She walked slowly over to her, placing a hand on Nicole's shoulder, smiling at her.

"Hey." Waverly greeted shyly.

"Hey Waves, wow, you look...wow. Ermm... can I get you a drink?" Nicole couldn't think of the words to describe how stunning Waverly looked. She sat staring with a dreamy look in her eyes.

Waverly blushed at Nicole's response "Thank you, you look amazing yourself" She smiled "erm, could I have a whiskey please?" Again Nicole was surprised, she wasn't expecting Whiskey to be her poison.

Nicole waved her hand and an older man behind the bar came over smiling warmly at her "Hey Nic, what can I get ya?"

"Two Whiskeys please Shorty"

"Right you are, two whiskeys coming right up" Waverly watched as he poured their drinks, playing with her hands. She felt really nervous but excited to be spending the evening with Nicole.

"Thanks Shorty" Nicole gave a friendly smile, showing her dimples. This made Waverly melt. She looked so stunning and has the most perfect smile. "Let's go get a table and we can order some food. This place does THE best meals" Nicole said to Waverly, seeming to get excited.

Both women found a quiet booth in the corner and grabbed a menu to look at. Nicole decided to have Cheese Burger and Fries, whilst Waverly decided to go for the Veggie Burger and Fries.

While they waited for their food to arrive they got talking about life, where they want to be in the future. Waverly learned that Nicole wanted to take over and become the Sheriff when Nedley retired. He had said she is perfect for the job.

Nicole learned that Waverly was very interested in History and has completed a college degree in the subject. Nicole was staring at Waverly with admiration. She had a big smile from cheek to cheek. Waverly blushed "Why are you staring at me like that?" She questioned the taller woman shyly. "You mesmerise me Waves. I... I can't think of the right words. Ermm you are so beautiful." Nicole couldn't believe she was sitting opposite the most beautiful woman she had ever laid eyes on and they were on their first date. Waverly blushed again, putting her hand over the top of Nicole's, stroking her knuckles with her thumb.

Their food finally arrived and they began to eat "Oh my gosh.... mmmm....WOW...." Waverly moaned. Nicole couldn't help but smirk at the sounds she was making. "I told you the food is awesome from here."

"The Best burger i have ever tasted." Waverly said.

They both finished eating their meals when Nicole gazed into Waverly's eyes. "I have never met someone so beautiful as you. My heart feels like it melts everytime I gaze into your eyes Waverly. I am so happy that you stopped by my flat last night." Waverly blushed and grabbed Nicole's hand on the table again but this time bought it up to her mouth and kissed her knuckles gently. "Waverly, if you trust me, can I take you somewhere? I would love to share this perfect place with you."

Waverly nodded and smiled warmly. "I do trust you Nicole. I would love to go there with you."

They both get up and walk out of Shorty's to Nicole's cruiser. She opens the passenger door for Waverly to get in. Waverly couldn't help but smile at her romantic side. Nicole climbed into the drivers seat. "It's not far from here. Only about half hour drive." She started the engine and drives off.
