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.

"Good idea. Maybe we could talk about what we can do when we're together. Our off days and the like. We could go shopping or go out for drinks. Even go for a walk in the park if they've got one where we are."

Weird had ideas for taking his girlfriend out to places when the schedule was light. He wanted to make it romantic as well as special since every minute spent with her was important to the bassist. Just holding hands was a light but meaningful gesture. He knew that they wouldn't get the backlash that Mick and Ziggy got for spending time outdoors holding hands. A sad but truthful fact. Just because they were a straight couple.

"I'm up for ideas too."

"I'm up for anything." She smiled but looked down. "I've never traveled very far from home. I'd like to see more of the world."

For all her book and science knowledge, Gloria felt like she knew so little of the actual world. It made her sad. There was so much to see.

"I like museums and zoos." She offers but then wonders if that's not the right kind of thing. "I like simple things too. Just spending time with someone is more important than where you are."

"I've never travelled far from home either before I joined Ziggy and the Spiders."

Weird was a down to earth guy who just enjoyed playing his bass guitar and chilling out more than going around the world being thrust into the cameras. Yet, he enjoyed the stage and the atmosphere when playing to a live audience and seeing the others do their thing too. Ronno on his guitar, Ziggy giving it his all and often going over the top and Gilly peeking from behind his set of drums.

"You like animals and history? I've not been to many of those but I'd like to with you."

He gave her a fond smile and sipped some of his wine.
