Sometimes it's the little things we like

[CRYSTAL R. GREENE]

Moving through the routine of getting ready for a date Crystal was nearly done. After completing the few touch ups she needed she slipped on the black dress she had for the night. Standing and looking in the mirror with her green eyes Crys fixed her dark hair that fell in a wave down her back. Once she was happy with that she moved through the apartment that she was currently renting until she could get something else. As she moved through the apartment she ran into the doorknob of the hall closet. “Damn it.” she swore as moved away and rubbed her elbow. After glaring at said doorknob for a quick moment she opened the closet door and grabbed the pair of black heels she would be wearing. Now, it’s not like she really needed the added height of the heels since she already stood at a height of 5’11”, but they were generally her shoe of choice. Once she slipped them on she went to the kitchen to check the time on the stove. Seeing that she was on-time she headed to the front door. Grabbing her purse and keys to her ‘Cuda she felt the wet nose on her leg. “Later Penny.” she said quietly to the Rottweiler who then went off and laid on the floor. After locking the apartment door she headed down to her car.

Stopping at a red light Crystal looked around her. She was still new to the town so she wanted to see everything that was around. Proceeding once the light was green she headed to the restaurant called Santiago’s. People had told her it was a nice place, so she was relying on their word. Pulling up in the parking lot she looked at the building. Glancing over it a couple times it was a nice place. Parking and getting out of the car she headed inside. As she did she felt an odd feeling inside her. Going over a list of feelings in her head she narrowed it down to feeling nervous. Being nervous didn’t happen often for her, and she wondered why she was feeling that way now. As she entered the restaurant she was quite pleased with the look of it as it certainly was a nice place. Looking around she wondered if the person she was meeting was already there. She didn’t know much about this male as a friend arranged this so she hoped the meeting would go alright. Giving the hostess at the front the name that her friend had used she took her to the booth somewhat near the back of the restaurant. When the next person came around she ordered a drink to pass the time before the person she was meeting. As she waited she looked around the restaurant at the different people.
