When Misa walks into the restaurant, the first thing she sees is the back of Light's golden brown hair. The next thing she sees is the waitress, chatting Light up with a coy smile and no notepad in sight. Misa narrows her eyes, regretting that she didn't bring a spare notebook page with her.
She wastes no time in approaching the table, her high heels click-clacking against the linoleum floor. The waitresses' voice becomes clear.
"…if you're not busy, my shift ends in an hour, then we cou-"
"Light, I'm here!"
Misa's shout gets the attention of everyone, including the chefs and other waiters. She places herself between her love and the whorish woman, smiling innocently at the latter, only her eyes betraying malice.
She turns to Light, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek, lingering for as long as possible before he pulls away.
"Sorry I'm late, ran into some traffic."
"It's fine, Misa," he smiled back at her, her heart beats so fast, she's afraid it might burst out of her chest. "I'm glad you made it."
Misa glances back at the waitress, gleefully taking in her angered and jealous face. The woman coughs into her hand, straightening up and walking away with what little dignity she has left.
"I'll just come back when you two are ready to order," the waitress calls over her shoulder, a failed attempt at indifference.
Misa watches her go, taking note of the name floating above her head just in case she needs it later. Then she looks back at Light, eyeing the light pink smudge mark left on his cheek even after he thinks he's wiped it all off.
Misa smiles.
