Dialogue Prompt: Dantana "I'm lost"
Santana found herself in a gaudily themed diner, the vinyl sticking her her bare legs as she readjusted on the bar stool. She tossed her phone down on the counter with a loud, aggressive thump and a deep sigh.
"Can I get you something sweetheart?" the waitress asked, already pouring Santana a glass of water and sliding it in front of her.
It took Santana a long moment to respond, having found herself lost just in the eyes of the woman in front of her. "I'm um… I'm lost," Santana admitted, feeling a soft flush to her cheeks at the admission. "I'm trying to find my friend's place. They don't know I'm coming," she said, taking a sip of the water.
Something about Santana's simple and short story had the other woman doing more work. Making a milkshake, it seemed. Santana settled in more, the way the woman moved behind the diner's bar had her completely captivated. "Have you been here long?" Santana heard herself ask, no hint of Snixx anywhere in sight.. This is a welcome change…. Santana thought to herself, finally in check of that part of her emotions.
Dani simply shrugged, placing the whipped cream topped milk shake in front of Santana. "The Travelers' Remedy, as I call it," she said with a wink. "I add a shot of Baileys," she added with a whisper and the most adorable wink Santana had ever seen. Somehow, the Midwestern girl's jacket slipped off her shoulders and rested on the back of the stool. "I moved here two years ago, just when I turned eighteen," Dani admitted, which was far more than she normally would have. "I come from a Texan town. And you?" she asked Santana as she pretended to wipe down the area near the young woman.
"Ohio, actually. Yours sounds much more interested," Santana said with a chuckle, trying desperately to find a way to open up more conversation.
"Interesting, yes. Positive, no," Dani said with a soft smile, trying to brush it off. She waved Santana' phone over. "Where are you trying to go?" she asked.
Santana slid the phone over. "It's this address," she said, pointing to the top of the screen. "But the big city is fucking with my data plan. It won't connect every five minutes," she admitted with a blush.
Dani simply smiled at her, chucking. "Sweetheart, I hear that on a daily basis," she hummed. "And from people far less beautiful than you," she added with a wink. "Take a left out of here, then your next left. Go four blocks, then a right. Your building should be on the right side of the street." she said gently before closing out of the 'map' app on Santana's phone. She quickly punched in her number. "And call or text me if you get lost. Or once you're settled and want to get a drink," she said with a smile.
Santana just nodded, dumbfounded by the fact that a woman was coming onto her. Usually she was the one acting so forward. She finished off the milkshake before nodding. "I uh…. I will," she stuttered out before sliding off the stool. "Thanks…"
Dani smiled at her, leaning forward. "And I mean it. Call or text me. No matter what. You're cute. And look like you could use a tour guide," she chuckled before Santana nodded and continued on her journey.
