Misty woke up hours later with hair stuck to her mouth and her shirt ridding up past what would be considered normal. She sat up confused, not sure what time or even day it was. As she rubbed sleep out of her eyes, everything started to comeback to her. She remembered the conversations, the upcoming date, and most of all, she remembered the kiss. She leaned across her bed to reach for her phone and turned it on. The time read 4:00, which means she somehow managed to sleep almost 10 hours. This also meant she only had 3 hours to get ready for her date with Cordelia. She sprung out of bed and began to rummage through all of her clothes, giving items a sniff here and there when she could not tell if it was dirty...or she just had never hung it up. She settled on a lacy teal dress that brought out the colors in her eyes perfectly. She grabbed a towel and took a shower after checking to see that she still had plenty of time. After she felt that she was sufficiently clean, she dried off and put on the teal dress. She went with simple sandals because of how warm it was and decided to pull her hair up as well. Humidity and curly hair just don't mix.
By the time she finished applying her make-up, her phone read 5:30. She grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. She was about to head for the door out of her shop when she stopped. She turned around and stared at the flowers surrounding her shop. She hurried over to a group of violets and gathered them into a bouquet along with some small white flowers. She wrapped them up and tied them off with some twine. With the bouquet in hand, she walked out of her shop and locked up. She turned to her car and sighed. She really, really needed to clean it out. "I've still got an hour," she muttered to herself. She set the flowers and her bag down and began to gather all of the various items that littered her car. The outside was clean enough… or at least it was going to be. Misty huffed and set her bag and the bouquet in the back seat. "Come on, baby, don't even think about it," she spoke to the car and she turned the key in the ignition. The Mustang sputtered for a moment before roaring to life. Misty patted the dashboard and whispered a few words of love to the car before she backed it out of the back of her shop. With 30 minutes to make it to the academy, she wasted no time as she sped in Cordelia's direction.
Cordelia had woken up a few hours before Misty stumbled out of bed and the first thing she was confronted with was Madison waiting outside of her bedroom door. She had opened the door only to be startled by Madison's one arched eyebrow stare. Cordelia had made a very indigent squawk before dragging Madison back into her room.
"So, Cordy, did you have fun with your new girlfriend last night?," Madison said with a smirk. Cordelia side eyed her and sighed. "Fun would be an understatement. I would definitely place it as one of the best nights I have had in a very long time. Possibly ever," Cordelia said as she sat down at the foot of her bed. Madison sauntered over to her and sat down on her right. She picked up Cordelia's hand that she had resting in her lap and held it between both hands. She looked Cordelia straight in the eye and in the sweetest, most curious voice, she asked, "Did you get laid, Cordy?" Cordelia yanked her hand away, scandalized, and scoffed. "Way to ruin a moment that could have been nice, Maddie," Cordelia said as she got up to rearrange various trinkets around her room.
"Seriously, though, what did you guys do all night?," Madison asked. "We stayed out in the greenhouse and talked for hours. I feel like I have known her for years, not such a short time. There may also have been some kissing," Cordelia said as she turned and winked at Madison. She had intentionally left out all details about Misty's powers and her past...that was for her to share whenever she was ready. Of course, she would have to meet Madison and all of the others first...Cordelia grew lost in thought, so much so that Madison got up and waved her hand in front of her face. Cordelia snapped out of it in time to hear Madison questioning her. "Soooo...are you going to see her again?"
"I am," Cordelia replied, "in..." she trailed off as she looked at the clock, "5 hours. I was going to have to ask you about watching Olivia for me. I'm not sure where we are going and I don't know how Misty would feel about having another person on out date". Madison looked back at Cordelia as she set down one of the many items on Cordelia's vanity and said, "Sure, I'll watch the little munchkin. You have fun and do God knows what with your girl". Cordelia could only mutter a thank you as she rolled her eyes at the younger woman. "So, what are you going to wear?," Madison asked. Cordelia sighed loudly, "I haven't even thought about it. I haven't been on a real date in so long".
"Don't worry about it! I've got you covered," Madison replied. Cordelia could not help but be a little frightened.
Misty pulled into the driveway that she had only left less than 24 hours ago with 15 minutes to spare. Traffic had been surprisingly light and she had arrived earlier than she had expected. She sent a text to Cordelia to let her know she had arrived. She replied shortly later saying she would be down shortly. Misty put her car in park and got out, grabbing the bouquet from the back seat before closing the door. She walked up to the wraparound porch and waiting for Cordelia to come down and open the door.
She didn't have to wait long because in less than 5 minutes, the door swung open. But, to Misty's surprise, it wasn't Cordelia who opened the door.
"You must be the woman that has Cordy all excited. It's nice to meet you, I'm Madison Montgomery".
