Spectrum Of A Rainbow ✔

Chapter Two

Over the next two months Rachel and Felicitas grew closer, they spoke everyday and met every chance they got. Rachel even hanged out at the bar while Felicitas worked more than half of her shifts. It was great and Felicitas really enjoyed Rachel's company, they always had a lot of fun. Then one day, Rachel calls Felicitas as soon as her shift at the bar is over, she feels her heart leap and gets excited because she thinks they'll hang out. However, Rachel calls to tell her that she's just been on an amazing date with this guy named Josef who works as a car mechanic but he's into art and is amazing at paintings. She spends Felicitas whole 30 minute way home from work about him, about how beautiful his brown eyes were and how his natural tight curly hair had the most amazing brown shade. Felicitas knew that she should be happy and get excited with her friend but she just couldn't bring herself to be happy. Of course she didn't let Rachel know this, she did her best to seem genuinely happy for her, because that's what friends do. Felicitas explains her non-existent happiness as that she was just looking out for Rachel, that she didn't want her to get hurt and thus wouldn't be happy about it until she met this Josef guy. Again, this wasn't something she told Rachel, no, instead she asked if and when she would meet Josef again. With a high pitched voice she squealed that they would meet the next day. Felicitas pointed out that it was quick and that she would be careful not to move too fast, but Rachel insisted that it was okay, that they'd clicked instantly just like she and Felicitas had.

When Felicitas met Josef it didn't take her long to realize that she didn't like him at all, she thought that he wasn't worthy of a girl like Rachel. There were also the fact that Rachel didn't hang out with her as much after meeting him with made her feel forgotten and disappointed and it didn't get better when Rachel announced that they would move in together after just two months. Felicitas didn't hear much from Rachel as they were busy with their move, so when she finally called and said that they'd settled in at their new apartment and that she missed her, Felicitas were beyond thrilled. That was until she suggested that they should go on a double date.

"I don't really have anyone to take on a double date." Felicitas said, faking a laugh to hide her nervousness. "I don't think Felix's girlfriend would be thrilled if I took him." She joked, trying to escape the situation she found herself in. She wasn't exactly excited about the thought of going on a double date where Josef would be. She'd rather have a girl night like they used to have before Rachel met him.

"I have someone in mind silly." Rachel laughed and Felicitas felt her heart sink. "It's a friend of Josef's, I think you two are going to get along great!" Rachel talked with an high pitched voice, a true sign that she was excited. Felicitas on the other hand wasn't, as if it wasn't enough with Josef's company, now she was supposed to date his friends. Felicitas was as sure as Rachel was that they would get along, that they in fact wouldn't get along at all. However, she had absolutely no reason to not agree to this and she did miss Rachel, so she agreed even though she wasn't thrilled about it. They decided to meet up Thursday night since Felicitas worked the entire weekend.

When Thursday evening came Felicitas reluctantly got ready for their double date. She didn't put any effort into her looks though, she just threw her pink hair up in a regular ponytail and threw on some make up, basically just some mascara, as opposed to what she used to do with her eyeshadows and eyeliner. She didn't even put an effort into her clothing, something she usually loved doing, she just took the first pair of black leggings she found and some old oversized band t-shirt that she'd turned into a tank top, matching it with a black bomber jacket and boots. She knew that Rachel would comment on how it looked like she didn't even try but it was because she wasn't. Felicitas only went on this date thing because she wanted to see Rachel and right now this seemed like the only way. This however, didn't stop her from dragging her feet behind her as she made her way to the restaurant, it was walking distance from her apartment so she didn't have to catch a bus. While slowly making her way there she tried to come up with a good excuse not to show up, however, she didn't think of one in time. She didn't have a single excuse, except that she simply didn't feel like it, when she saw the restaurant and then Rachel noticed her, running toward Felicitas embracing her in a hug.

"I've missed you." Rachel said as she hugged her a little harder. When Felicitas only answer was a quiet hum, she let go. "We'll have a girls night soon. just the two of us I promise." Rachel added, smiling a little too big before turning around and walked back over to Josef and another man, who she assumed would be her date.

"This is Omid" Rachel said with an overly excited and high pitched voice as she gestured toward the tall man beside Josef, "and this is Felicitas." She said with the same voice as she moved her hands to point at her.

"Nice to meet you Felicitas" Omid smiled at her, he was handsome she couldn't deny that. His pitch black hair was styled back perfectly and his beard in matching color were just perfect. His eyes a so dark shade of brown that they were almost black and as if this wasn't enough, when he smiled she noticed that his teeth were impossibly white.

"Nice to meet you too." Felicitas lied and smiled back. "Should we go inside? I'm starving." She lied again, she wasn't anything close to hungry, she felt sick to her stomach but she just wanted this to be over with so she could go home and just not be where she was at that moment.

"Yeah, me too." Rachel agreed, smiling as she locked their arms together, leading her into the restaurant. When inside a waiter led them to a table for four and Felicitas sat next to Rachel and opposite to Omid. It was harder than it should be to see Rachel and Josef together, everything he did annoyed her and she couldn't wrap her head around why on earth Rachel would be with him. Omid was nice though, he asked questions and seemed genuinely interested. If she wasn't so set on getting over with this date as fast as possible she might've even enjoyed his company. Thankfully the food arrived quickly, one of the perks of going out on a Thursday was that most people didn't so the restaurant wasn't exactly swamped.

It did however seem like they spent an eternity in that restaurant if you asked Felicitas and that everyone ate unusually slowly. She knew that it wasn't the case, it was just her torment of seeing a nice girl like Rachel with a lowlife like Josef that made it seem so long. When everyone had finally finished their food and Felicitas thought it was over, Rachel asked if they'd like to grab a drink at the bar. Felicitas declined with the simple but not true explanation that she wanted a calm evening before working the weekend. She loved the environment that was bars and couldn't get enough of it, what she could get enough of and didn't stand was spending more time with Josef.

She was so close to finally getting to be alone again when Omid asked her if she wanted him to walk her home, since he work early he didn't plan on staying either. She was of course going to decline but before she could, Rachel poked her side.

"Of course she wants that!" Rachel squealed as she answered for Felicitas. Though she didn't bother to argue, it wasn't Omid she wanted to get rid of as soon as possible, it was Josef and the way Rachel were around him.

"Yeah, sure why not." She nodded and shrugged her shoulders. It wasn't only due to Rachel's meddling she accepted though, she didn't like the thought of walking home alone in the dark. Omid was tall and muscular so she knew that nobody would bother her if she walked with him. Felicitas and Omid said goodbye to the other two and Rachel hugged them both. Felicitas was well aware that Rachel hoped and prayed that she would start dating Omid, but that just wasn't going to happen, regardless of looks.
