delia's room was cosy.
well , that was an understatement.
her bed was covered in lemon yellow pillows , accompanied by sky blue bedsheets. her walls were a soft purple , and she had musical posters and playbills hanging from her walls.
a picture sat on her desk , along with empty café latte bottles and mint imperial wrappers.
it was a picture of her and her girlfriend , charlotte. they were standing under a huge pride flag , with the lesbian flag painted under their eyes and they wore shirts saying " love wins "
whizzer was perched on her bed , sipping hot chocolate from a mint green mug with white dots along the rim in a perpendicular line.
delia sat across from him , her mug was purple with pink and blue lines skimming the handle. except her mug was filled with peppermint and ginger tea.
"so , i need to tell you something. "
whizzer sent her a questioning glance , raising his eyes from the beverage steaming into his face.
"and you might hate me. "
"delia , i could never -- "
"i gave marvin your phone number on the napkin ! "
whizzer shot his head up.
"what ? "
just then a message popped up on whizzers phone , making the two jump. whizzer leaped over to grasp it.
0745 6709 248 - Hello ! It's Marvin !
he groaned , and his cheeks were stinging with blush. he looked back at the text , and whispered ,
"what do i say ?"
after those words escaped his mouth , delia squealed and rushed over to help him.
"okay , so you gotta put down something smooth. snazzy. but not too snazzy ? like , make sure you sound confident , but not cocky -" as she rambled on , whizzed couldn't help but notice how much she used her hands. she was moving them a lot either in his direction , or just waving them about like a seal calling for help.
"hey ! whizzer , are you listening or what ?"
she snapped her fingers in front of his eyes , and he shook his head violently. she held the phone in front of his eyes , and a message was waiting to be sent.
07502260229 - Hey Marvin ! I was wondering if you wanted to meet up tomorrow at Roosters Café at 10am? Just to get to know each other more!
"huh. that's not half bad." whizzer said , scratching the back of his neck as he hit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from smiling.
"great ! boom , you have a date !"
and with that , delia hit send.
