Westley was happy to be inside. Why does it have to be so fucking cold outside. Stupid chill. She was wondering around the antique store, and stopped to admire a painting on the wall. It was a cafe scene, a couple sitting a a table, enjoying lunch toget- "fuck!" She exclaimed as someone ran into her. She looked at the person to find a very attractive girl wearing a floral dress and a pink rain coat. The girl picked up her umbrella and started stumbling over herself to apologize.

"Oh tea and biscuits! I am so sorry!" The cute girl exclaimed, pushing her glasses back up onto her face.

"Don't sweat it. I'm not hurt. No harm done." Wes said, standing up.

"That's nice to hear. So who are you?" The girl asked, then quickly apologizing by saying "Oh my chai I shouldn't ask like that-"

"It's fine. You don't need to apologize." Wes said, fixing her jacket and looking back at the beautiful angel in front of her. "Who am I? Well it differs. Angel to some. Demon to others. But most call me Wes. Or West. But my name is Westley. And you are?"

"My name is Lillian. But you can call me Lilly!" She says cheerfully. "What brings you into this store?"

"It's been one of my favorite shops for years. Bought all the decorations in my house and shop from here. What brings you here?" Wes asks, leaning against the wall and trying to look smooth as Lilly looked around excitedly.

Wes didn't really listen to the answer. She was too busy looking at Lilly. Her lips looked so soft. And she had the cutest freckles splashed across her nose. That dress hugged her curves. Man, Wes wants to make this girl hers. "-anyways I hope I didn't hurt you too much!" Lilly finished and Wes came back to reality.

"You need to stop apologizing. But, if you really want to make it up to me, you could accompany me to dinner?" Wes leaned back on the wall, trying to look cool, and looking down at the short girl who blushed a dark red. Man, that blush looks good on her, Wes thought.

"I um I what you me I um what are you um are you asking me out?" Lilly stuttered out her words and Wes chuckled.

"Yeah. I'm asking you out. Unless you don't want-" Lilly cut her off.

"No! I mean no. I would love to go on a date!" Lilly exclaimed. "Um...where?"

Wes pushed herself off the wall. Trying to stay calm as she answered Lilly's question. "How about 'Anne's Dinner' tomorrow night? 7pm?"

"Sounds good!" Lilly answered quickly, making Wes chuckle again.

"See you then, beautiful." She winked and walked further into the store, not waiting to see Lilly's reaction to the wink. But she imagined the blush Lilly must have had on her face.

Once she was far enough away, Wes leaned against the wall and sighed. She ran her hand through her short, black hair and laughed in disbelief. Not only did she just ask out a beautiful girl, this actual angel on earth had said yes. How lucky can one person be. Apparently, quite lucky. Wes decided she would buy that painting. It must have some sort of luck in it.

————————

She took the painting up to her apartment and began to hang it, still thinking of Lilly. Damn, her blonde hair, amazing emerald green eyes (Wes could get lost in them), and can we talk about how that dress hugged her curves! Man, Wes was lucky. She was so glad she had a date with this angel, tomorrow night was gonna be grea- "SHIT" Wes hit her finger with the hammer. That'll teach her to not pay attention while hanging art work. Maybe the painting isn't as lucky as she thought. Oh well. It's still pretty. She put it on the wall and went to get ready for bed.

Wes can't wait to see that angelic girl again.
