First date: Please be weird like me || Chridie (Chris + Birdie)
Birdie is certain she was high as a kite when she agreed to go on a date with Chris Selznick at the Fusion Restaurant. It’s not like she doesn’t work there or anything like that... Or that he isn’t best friends with her brother. But Stu had asked so nicely and well, she’d set him up with enough bad dates that she owed him.
Still, she has spent the whole day in a frenzy, even going as far to ask Sally for clothing advice. Birdie hardly ever needs to get an okay from another person about what she’s going to wear. Clothing is the easy thing in life... but apparently not today.
The only good thing about the whole situation is that Chris is meeting her at the restaurant and not picking her up. Birdie’s certain she would have faked sickness if that was the case.
“Hey girl,” she told the on-shift hostess when she arrived. “I’m actually here to eat... with a date.” It sounded just as strange out loud as it had in her head all day. Birdie is ready to just bail and call in sick when she catches Chris’ eye.
“Oh, found him,” she tells the hostess before quickly walking past her in order to avoid any further questions.
It doesn’t take Birdie long to reach their table. She tries to remind herself to smile because this is really not that big of a deal. After all, she gets along with Owen... (who is known to be the hardest of the Selznick brothers) So, if she can do that, then surely she can easily ace this date. Plus, he’s best friends with Stu - so obviously that counts for something too. Right?
She’s at the table now and he’s standing up, so Birdie let’s out right away, “Hey, sorry I’m late,” she couldn’t even blame it on getting lost. Birdie was purely late because of her nerves. So instead, Birdie just lets out a light laugh and brushes some of her hair behind her ear.
