Chapter Seven - Style
The girls went to a small cafe called Central Diner and ordered salads and tea. The hadn't seen each other in like nine years when Riza joined the military straight out of high school.
"So, tell me more about this Mustang guy" Anna began as she sipped her tea.
"Well, he's cute, loyal and... a pompous horse's ass."
Anna choked on her tea.
"What?" She asked, whipping her mouth with her napkin.
"It's true, he's lazy and never does his paperwork. Sure he's got the looks, but thats all he has."
"Come on. Every girl loves him."
"I know, I've meet some of the girls back when he was still a colonel."
"You've known him how long?"
"My whole military career. He joined when I joined. He's only a couple years older then me."
"And your still a virgin?"
"Anna!"
"What. Come on like you haven't thought of it?"
"Not, it's called fraternization and it's illegal!"
"Whatever."
The girls finished their lunch and left. Their next stop was a Bed, Bath and Beyond type store. Anna smiled big and left their clothing bags at the service desk. Anna then pulled Riza to a section dedicated for college dorms.
"This place is awesome. Look at this place. Perfect for a small place like yours and nothing is permanent."
Anna grabbed a carriage and began looking around at all the little things that would really spice up Riza's apartment.
"So what are we really looking for?" Riza asked as she picked up a blue lava lamp.
"Anything to brighten you life up. We've got you some new outfits, and now we need to work on the living space. How are you 'ever' going to get a man when your life is so... boring?"
"My life is not boring."
"Um... let's think back to the conversation we had in your closet about your... weekly routine and outfits."
"Point taken."
So Anna walked up each aisle at least twice before heading to the check out with a carriage full. Riza followed quietly, afraid speaking might make matters worse. After checking out, they headed back to Riza's apartment. Anna and Riza carried the clothes into the two rooms and then emptied the other bags into the living room.
"Okay, we start after dinner. Let's eat."
