“It comes off as the perfect combo of charming and smart. Truly, I’m jealous of your talents. I’m the first one to admit that it wasn’t exactly the most appealing looking thing on a hot chocolate, but at least it tasted good. It’s weird that we’re still only in June. I feel like time doesn’t work normally here, don’t you agree?”
“Uh, sure. What exactly would that be?“
Isaiah was having such a great night. Sure, it wasn’t champagne on his favourite party yacht but still. Havensdale still held strong in his heart and he never got tired of all his mom’s friends saying how handsome he looked. What? He did. Of course he was also actively trying to make sure she didn’t scare off Charlotte too much. Who knew how many adorable baby Isaiah photos his mom had in her purse, ready to weaponize at any given moment. Anyway.
Speaking of his drop dead gorgeous date— “Charlotte! Hey, there you are. I think I lost you somewhere between the entrees and Lyndsy McArthur wanting to know where I got this sweater. Tess, hey!” He’d only had to speak with Tessa Thomson all of five minutes to know that they clicked. Astrological friendship compatibility confirmed. “Can’t wait for the big date. You and Vanessa were a ‘yes’ for Italian, right?” @foxy-vanessa
Vanessa’s night was going pretty damn well if she said so herself. Her first ‘official’ Havensdale event as Tessa’s girlfriend and she honestly couldn’t be happier. The wine didn’t hurt either.
She’d been on her way to find said girlfriend after finally spotting her talking to Charlotte, when Isaiah approached the two of them and she heard her name mentioned along with the word ‘Italian’ and hurried over.
“What was that about Italian?”
"Well---” As if on cue, Isaiah and Vanessa appeared. Tess gave him a look, eyes wide as if to say ‘uh oh, stop talking’ but he’d stuck them in it now. She’d planned a whole speech, you know? The food, the friends, the fun... Of course it was totally up to them if they wanted to do it- she and Isaiah just kinda jumped the gun. “Baby-,” she smiled, taking Nessy’s hand first (priorities), “Missed you.”
Okay, focus. Put the ‘heart eyes’ away for two minutes- “I was just about to ask Charlotte about it actually but, um, since everyone’s here... With the semester finishing up and summer just starting, all of us here and well- You know. Isaiah and I just got totally caught up talking about food and our amazing girlfriends so it just seemed, like, the obvious thing to suggest...,” she took a breath, looking over to Ness with only a slight puppy dog look in her eyes, “A double date. With us! The four of us. And Italian, if everyone agrees. It could be fun. I mean, it would be fun but what do you think? What do you both think?” @charlotte-the-confused
