Work Text:
Amanda stares at her closet, more frustrated with every outfit she tries on that she feels doesn’t work. It shouldn’t be that hard, they’re meeting at a Chili’s for Christ sake. Amanda goes to her phone to check the messages sent from Shayne just so she's clear on the plan once again.
Shayne:
Hey Amanda, today is the big day. I can’t wait for you to meet Angela! Take a deep breath. I know you're probably panicking but trust me on this one you will absolutely love her!!!
Amanda:
You're right I am freaking out a little bit. You said we were meeting at Chili’s right? Any particular reason or??
Shayne:
You know I love chicken crispers. That’s it.
Amanda can’t believe that Shayne actually talked her into doing this. Her best friend is setting her up on a blind date with a woman that other than her name she knows zero about or what she looks like. Amanda knows looks don’t matter to her but it's still nice to get a slight idea of who she is meeting. Shayne did give her and Angela a very detailed location right outside the restaurant to meet to prevent too much confusion. This happens to be pretty on par with who Shayne is and Amanda truly does trust his judgment so she agreed.
She settles on a sweater dress after another 30 minutes of debating since she still needs to finish her hair and then run out the door. Hopefully this date will go better than her last handful.
She makes it just in time to the meet spot and what she sees nearly takes her out at the knees.

Angela’s already had a stressful day. She had rehearsals for Starkid almost all day so she’s exhausted to say the least. But Shayne, who she had met through acting and had become close friends with convinced her that she should look for a relationship again and who better than one of his other friends she hadn’t met. She does want to impress Amanda but she can’t go into this expecting too much. If it doesn't work out like Shayne thinks it will maybe she can come out of this with a new friend.
With that in mind Angela decides on a white buttoned down crop top with a black cardigan and black jeans. She checks herself one more time in the mirror before she heads to meet up at the place Shayne arranged beforehand. Thankfully she doesn’t have to drive since she lives only a block or two from the Chili’s Shayne picked, maybe he did that on purpose who knows?
As she's rounding the last corner, she sees her. And it seems that all the oxygen in the world has disappeared.

Amanda just takes Angela in while she waits for her to get closer. She first notices the radiating beauty of this woman. If someone told her Angela was sculpted out of clay she would believe them in an instant. She wasn’t even thrown off by the height difference that had affected some of her relationships in the past.
Angela was speechless at the drop dead gorgeous woman in front of her. It was like the world ceased to exist around her, as if she had blinders on and all she could and wanted to focus on was Amanda. She knew then she wanted to know everything about this tall, divine creature.
“Hi, you must be Angela. I'm Amanda, it's so lovely to finally meet you!” Amanda says, trying to keep the nervous tremble out of her voice.
“Y-yeah I’m Angela, let me just start by saying you look absolutely beautiful” Angela utters as she sticks out her hand for Amanda to shake.
