Blind Date

[drkenison]

She wasn't expecting a message to be waiting for her when she got home. Judith had told her she had a call asking if she would like to go out to lunch the next day with a friend's friend. It sounded like a date and she and Judith giggled over a late meal while wondering what the morning would bring. She almost said no, but Judith prodded at her. Gloria hadn't been on a date since they stopped dating almost a year ago.

This was definitely a set up and when the morning came she and Judith spent the morning like teenage girls in the small university sponsored apartment they shared. Eventually, Judith convinced Gloria to wear one of Judith's flashier dresses. It was a date after all where she was going to be picked up in a limo. That was exciting.

They sat together later in the day, sipping coffee while they waited for the mystery date to arrive. Like all young women, speculating who the flamboyant person she had met a few weeks earlier might be sending to her.

"That will please my father." Gloria gets an amused and mischievous smile. "For once he will be hearing about someone else, other than me, hitting people."

Not that she cared what he thought but the train of thinking she was on brought humor with it.

"Don't ever come to play at my lab, we'll both end up lost forever." She smiles while taking another bite. "Music has always made me focus more on what I am working on."

"I can talk to your father. I'm not afraid if he starts kicking off about you or me or anything we're into. I've learnt over the years to rise up against bullies and oppressors due to Ziggy being an influence on us."

Weird was serious about protecting Gloria and making sure she wasn't going to be subject to abuse by her father. Verbal insults about how she shouldn't be hanging around with rock stars and the like.

"I wouldn't mind being lost forever with you."

The bassist smiled shyly and squeezed her hand.

"I wouldn't want you to meet him." She's serious about that. Her father had caused so much trouble for her career. She wouldn't want that for Weird.

The compliment though, she looks down, blushing across the cheeks before her dark curls can cover her face. She does squeeze his hand in return giggling quietly and pushing her curls back before she gives Weird a peck on the cheek. "You're a sweet man."
