Aline felt like just getting up and leaving the diner due to the impatience that she had, calling her friend later during the day. After all, she only had so much time on her hands. But she already knew that she wouldn’t do that so she took a sip out of her ice tea and continued to scan her phone, every so often making sure to check the parking lot and the entrance. And soon, Elizabeth was finally there.
She smiled lightly and waited for Elizabeth to get over to their spot. “About time.” The words came out of Aline’s mouth just as she took her seat. A sweet and with a playful tone that she accompanied with a kind smile. If it was anyone other than Elizabeth that she was subjected to waiting more than 20 minutes past their meeting set time, you could guarantee that she would have given a menacing look that spoke more than the words that would soon follow. But Aline was used to putting up this angel act. After all, she was an aspiring actor. Aspiring because of the fact that she was currently shooting for a new drama and it was her first. The first but it felt like she had been acting forever. After all, Aline was a natural. But with the recognition she already had by being on the covers of fashion magazines, it was easy to get spotted by a director.
“Yeah, it’s fine.” The mention of traffic wasn’t one that Aline could actually relate to. After all, she drove around in limos and from time to time there was a driver waiting for her. Today, however, she actually drove herself and got to the place 10 minutes earlier. The risk was getting caught for speeding mph in a brand new red Lamborghini. But well, she was fine.
“You look cute today. Well, you always do but you know what I mean~”
Someone once said that flattery got you nowhere. That was a lie. Aline often complimented Elizabeth since she was adorable. Aline herself honestly hated receiving compliments to her face. It may have been strange but it made her feel even more insecure than she already was and had a reverse effect than the compliment-giver probably intended.
Thoughts were running through Aline’s head before she finally remembered what she was going to say to her 5 minutes ago. “Oh, someone wanted to meet you. Just because. They said they wanted to meet a friend of mine and I said alright. Is that OK? Sorry for just telling you now.” The so-called friend was a man named Wolfred. One of her only 2 friends that she had. He was an older man. 24 years old to be exact. The reason they knew each other was that her mother and his mother had been great friends in the past and Aline grew to love him. Elizabeth might have been surprised about the fact that she had friends besides her. The only person she had even seen her with was for work or her stepsister. Wolfred was a guy that she had gotten used to over the years and honestly, there’s no way you can’t like him. At least in Aline’s eyes.
Oh, what a splendid, marvelous, exceptional day! The positivity was oozing out of Wolfred as he walked down the street to his hotel. He was greeted with ever so sweet-sounding "Hello"'s and he responded with a slight bow and a good afternoon right back to them. The reason for his happiness may have been for no reason at all but it was likely because he was going to meet a dear friend he hadn't seen in months. They were both quite busy and though he implied that they hadn't actually seen each other, they of course had. After all, they lived in the same building so it was unavoidable that they would run into each other but most of the times Aline was rushing right past him with a hello and a black coffee in her hands, most likely off to a shoot. She was admirable really. Though her little competition with her sister was unfortunate. He was sure they could have been great....no no, they clash far too much to be actual friends.
What time was it? Did he already work today? Of course, he had. He had been working until 3 am last night! Unlike most people, Wolfred was a man that went out to work at 6 or sometimes 7 pm and left in the morning. Sometimes he did make a normal schedule, going off on his way to work at 10 am. Last night be got off at 2 am and woke up at 1 pm so he was as chipper as usual.
His morning was occupied by a mystery novel by the name of "And Then There Were Mone." It was a story that he had recently started and was not disappointed. Besides that, he went to a coffee shop at around 1 PM and he's now back home. Just to get some work done at home and finish up a project he was working on. The time flew as he was working and when he put his glasses on to check the time, he realized that it was already 2:40 PM. "Oh god. She hates it when people are late." He mutters, grabbing his wallet and keys and shoving them down the pockets of his pants. His outfits were never too casual and already made it seem like he had money. This wasn't on purpose, it was just his clothing taste.
The drive was a smooth one in his car that valued comfort as its top priority. He had dramatic classical music booming in the car as he hummed along to the notes. It took him about 25 minutes to get to the diner and it would have been sooner if there wasn't any traffic. But at least he was there with his lovely Aline sitting at the table with a cutie.
"Aline! Hey, sorry I'm a bit late."
He entered the diner and automatically a few women had their eyes on him. After all, he had a certain charm to his appearance. "And this must be exquisite Liz. And she is quite the looker I see. Wonderful to meet you, Elizabeth. My name is Wolfred Octane." Looking straight at her with his piercing emerald green eyes. Wolfred took a seat beside Aline and smiled kindly at the new face. Ever since he was young, his parents made sure that he knew of perfect manners and that was evident daily.
