Anden date - Lena

Lena havde spurgt om Amélie ville med på en date. Og Amélie havde accepteret. Out of all the people here, Lena had been the one she had enjoyed conversing with the most.

Nu sad hun I baren i en sort læderkjole og ventede. Had she tried to dress sexy? Yes she had. Was it to impress the girl?... Yes. Yes perhaps it was.

Lena had also dressed to impress! I sin fancy, blå hoodie! Den med slipset. Og så havde hun brugt for evigt på at sætte sit hår og vælge øreringe ... Så hun næsten kom for sent ...

Lena kom små-løbende ind på baren. "Oi! I'm here, luv!"

Amélie blinkede med øjnene og så på Lena der var mødt op i en hoodie... en hoodie med et jakkesæt print?....... hun vidste ikke hvad hun skulle gøre med den information.

"Salut."

Lena stoppede op og så med store øjne på Amélie. "Wow .. you look great, luv!" fik hun burstet frem, før hun kunne nå at tænke sig om ..

"Merci." Amélie så en gang på hende "... I like your earrings." det var sandheden.

Lena rødmede overraskede og smilte stort til hende. "Thanks, luv!"

Amélie nikkede kort og så hende an.

Lena rødmede forlegent og satte sig. "Uhm .. well, I'm glad you wanted to see me!"

"I did" Amélie nikkede "I find you are the most interesting of the contestants"

Lena så overraskede på hende. "Oh, really? Why?" spurgte hun forvirret

"You have a nice smile, you are positive, attractive, you are good at keeping a conversation going without it getting stale or cliche and then you read my fanfics and liked them. And I read yours and liked them. We have something in common." svarede Amélie

Lena blinkede. "Huh .. I mean, that's true" sagde hun og kom til at smile. "I mean, I think you are super cool too! And smart and stuff!"

"You think I am smart?" spurgte Amélie interesseret

Lena rødmede lidt og nikkede. "Yeah, I mean .. you seem that way, at least!"

Amélie så hende an "hm, how so?"

Lena rynkede brynene lidt. "Well, I mean .. I think what you said about words and lovers was really clever"

Amélie smilede svagt "hm, very well"

Lena rødmede lidt. "So .. uhm, what do you wanna drink?"

"I'll have a Gaja Barbaresco" svarede Amélie og så kort imod bartenderen imens hun sagde det

Lena nikkede og bestilte sig selv en øl .. og Amélies drink til hende!

Hun satte sig til rette. "Alright, we went over superheroes last time" begyndte Lena glad. "If you could have superpower, what would it be?"

"Stop - and start - time" svarede Amélie og tog en tår af sin drink

Lena nikkede hurtigt. "Yeah, that would be cool! What would you use it for?"

Amélie overvejede det "getting things done without stress. Sleep. Taking a break from people in situations where you cannot. Might do some crime as well, if we are being honest"

Lena blinkede og så nysgerrigt på hende. "Oh, when do you wanna take a break? And what kind of crime?"

"When people a talking a lot" sagde hun tænksomt "or very boring. I am not certain yet. But I doubt I could go through life with that ability without ever using it for something criminal. What about you?"
