~ Warning~ mentioning of anorexia

Time skip to Saturday

Claudia pov 

I wake up to my alarm and try to get up. Key word TRY, Tanya won't let go of my waist. "Tanya, sweetie, can you please let go. We got to get up, we have a double date, remember?" I say trying to unwrap her arms from me. Tanya groans and mumbles "five more minutes". 

I then come up with an idea to get her to get up. "How about this, if you get up now then we can have some fun in the shower" I say. Tanya immediately sits up, "Really?" she says excitedly. "Really" I replied, Tanya then picks me up and carries me into the bathroom. As soon as we were naked, I was slammed into the shower wall and pulled into a rough kiss. Let's just say we didn't do much washing...

After we got out the shower, we both got dressed. It was luckily a lot warmer today, so we had a lot more choices on what to wear. Tanya also straightened her hair to look more fancy since it was a date, she looks so pretty.

"Well you look beautiful" Tanya says when I finished getting dressed. I feel my face heat up, "Thank you. You look great too" I say. Tanya grabs her car keys and smirks, "Thanks, I'm trying a new look. I'm enjoying looking boyish" Tanya replies. We both then head outside to the car and head to this Café that Carli wanted to meet at. While driving we sit in a comfortable silence with the noise of the radio in the back round.

After about 15 minutes, Tanya pulls up to this building. "Is this it?" I ask. "I think so, this is what the GPS says" Tanya says getting out the car. I get out and follow her in.

 "I like this place, it's cute and colorful" I commented. Tanya nods her head in agreement before saying "We need a table of five". We look around for a second but found one in a quiet corner by the door. Tanya and I sit down and talk for a few minutes while waiting for Carli and her girlfriends. A black girl in a apron then walks up to us and ask, "Are you guys waiting for someone or can I take your order?". 

"We're waiting for some friends" Tanya replies before I can. The girl nods her head and tells us she'll be back when ever they come. After a few more minutes of talking we here the a bell signaling that the front door opened. I look up and see Carli with 2 other girls, one of them looks very skinny which concerns me a bit. They look around and Tanya waves them over. "Hey guys, it's nice to see you again. But these are my girlfriends Zara and Marley" Carli says.

Zara:

Marley:

I give them a friendly smile and say "Hi, i'm Claudia and this is my girlfriend Tanya". "Sup" is all Tanya said. Zara gives us a small wave but doesn't make eye contact and Marley shakes are hands. Carli then whispers to us, "Zara is shy but just give her time and she'll open up". We nod are heads and the 3 of them sit down. 

The girl from before then walks back to are table with a notebook in hand, "Hey guys welcome to Smile N' Delight, I'm Zariyah and I'll be taking care of you guys today. Are ready to order or are you still waiting for some people?" Tanya speaks up before anyone else can, "No we're ready. I'll have a iced coffee and a blueberry muffin". Zariyah nods her head and writes down the order, she then looks up at me with her pen ready. "Can I have a green tea and a sugar cookie, please?" I say in a friendly tone.

"Yes you can, and for you guys?" Zariyah says looking at Carli, Zara, and Marley. Carli looks back down at the menu and says "I would like a Vanilla Latte and croissant". Marley then speaks up and says, "I just want a hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie". Zariyah nods her head as she writes, when she finishes she looks up at Zara. I see Zara shift uncomfortably and avoid eye contact with everyone. "I-I just want a water" she whispers. "Are you sure?" Zariyah ask. "No, she'll have a bagel" Carli cuts in before Zara can. "Ok, i'll be back with you guys orders as soon as I can" Zariyah says while walking away.

Carli then faces Zara, "You got to eat, at least a little bit. Can you at least try, for me?" Carli whispers, but I still hear. Marley see's Tanya and I's face of concern and leans forward, "Anorexic" she whispers to us. Tanya and I nod are heads. "Change of topic, have you guys ever heard of Heads Up?" Marley ask, Zara's face lights up when she said the game and Carli smiles excitedly. Tanya shakes her head no but I say, "Yeah, my family and I used to play". Marley then smirks and pulls out her phone. 

Time skip about 20 minutes

We've been playing Heads Up for like 20 minutes, and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard before. I think this date has been amazing, Zara is opening up and talking more. When Zariyah brought us are food and drinks, we invited her to play with us since it's close to closing time and we we're the only people still here. We found out Zariyah is 19 and goes to the local university, and she also has a girlfriend. I think we're all becoming pretty good friends and i'm pretty sure we're going to be coming to this café a lot.

"Ok guys, I really like you all but I need to close up shop" Zariyah says. "Where's the bill?" Tanya asked. "I really like you guys so it's on me" Zariyah said smiling at us. "Aww you didn't have to do that" Marley says. "N, trust me it's ok. But I hope I see you guys come back here soon" Zariyah says. We all then say are good byes as the 5 of us walk out the café. "Well that was fun" Zara says in a somewhat quiet voice. "We should definitely hang out more, especially here. This Café is the best" I say. "Totally" Carli adds. "Well we should be going, see you guys later" Tanya says as we start to part ways after saying are goodbyes. 

Tanya and I then start driving home. As we're driving I say, "That was fun, I like hanging out with them. I also like that Café and Zariyah". Tanya nods her head in agreement and says, "Yeah, maybe we can have some future dates there. And speaking of fun, maybe you and I can have some when we get home". I feel my face heat up a bit as I bite my lip and cross my legs, "Maybe".
