Rose

Genny's POV
"So you mean to tell me Daveed Diggs plays both Lafayette and Jefferson," I ask. "Is anyone else played by the same person?"
Az doesn't hesitate. (BECAUSE SHES NON-STOP)
"Herc and Madison, Peggy and Maria, Lauren and Phillip."
Before I could respond loud screams cut me off.
"BLACK MINI SKIRT OR RED A-LINE???" Melody screams from her room.
"Red!" Shouts Az.
"How do I look," asks Melody.
"You look like a nun." Wow Az, that was harsh.
"Just because I don't look like" she has a brief pause to look down at Az's outfit, "you." You could hear the disgust dripping from her words like liqour. Az is wearing the new thigh-high boots that she got at Walmart, her jean shorts that are so distressed they look like jean underwear, and a fake leather tube top. To be fair, Melody doesn't look anything like a nun, she is in an A-line red skirt kit to mid-thigh, a flowy white striped t-shirt tucked into the dress, a cute cropped dark red jacket and a pair of black stilettos, so she's not quite a nun, just not a "prostitute" as Mel calls it.
"Just because I'm not trying to strap down with some rando to do what I want doesn't mean I'm a hoe."
"Whatever Az please just let me enjoy my date."

Melody's POV
Time is passing. Everything seems to move at a slow pace. My hand turns to check the time on my wrist. It reads 8:13 PM. Normally that would be fine, but, she was supposed to be here at 8. Rose is standing me up. I thought maybe this would work. Maybe I'm too annoying. Maybe I talk too loud. Maybe I yell too much. Maybe I DO dress like a nun. Or worse. What if I dress like Az! I hear the bell on the cafe door chime for the twenty-second time, but I think nothing of it. My phone says it's 8:16. I hear a voice say, "Hello?" at first I thought it was another waiter "suggesting" that I order but when I look up, it was Rose.

    "Oh my gosh! Hi. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you come in."
    "I'm sorry for being so late!"
    "Are you laadies ready to order yet?" Her southern draw is incredibly fake. She sounds like someone on a cooking show saying All right sweeties now you're gonna butter dem biscuits for the childran and there she goes, the thanks givin meel is ready!
"I'll have the tomato soup and grilled cheese special" Rose tells the waiter.
"And for you darling?" she asks me. "I'll have a peppermint mocha and a caesar salad, no tomatoes. I answer.
"Alrighty so you girlies want house special, tomato water and grilled cheese, peppermint coffee, and a caesar salad hold the tomatoes?"
    "Why are you holding her tomatoes? Is that how you say on the side? She said she doesn't want them." I try to keep in my laughter but all I'm accomplishing is sounding like a dying bird. I decided just to let it out and I started to giggle which turned into a very loud cackel.
"Okay then... we'll have that right out for yah, it's so nice to see friends hanging out without being on those damn screen boxes yall  have all day"
    "Oh, we're actually together. Like a couple." Rose starts to say.
    "Wait we're a couple?" I don't know how to react to this.

    "Wait she really said that?" Az at me from the TV. I started to say something but I'm cut off.
    "GUYS! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!"
    "For the last time Gen, your period is a normal thing for women not an emergency."
    "I BROUGHT HER BACK?"
    "Stop yelling! Who did you bring back?"
    "ELIZA!"
