Waiting

(This box is scroll-able!)

It's a warm summer evening. Fresh air rustles the park trees nearby. The café door rests open, held by a large figure briefly as she is leaving. She walks from the doorway with a soft hop in her step towards a park bench, setting her bag down, sitting beside it, and shifting back into the seat to get comfortable. Her head gently drifts backwards, dangling over the top of the bench for a moment,before leaning forward again. It wasn't as comfortable as she'd thought it'd be.

Two freshly baked croissants rest on the sides of her head. Well made, crisp, and positively glistening from the smallest amount of light. Their delicious smell drifts in the air as they rest firmly attached to her head. "Ah!-" She says aloud, before turning to take her phone from her bag.

The flip-phone clicks open and illuminates her face. A message reads 'I have embarked upon your location. My arrival is imminent! Prepare yourself.' With both hands, she quickly replies 'At the park next door. See you soon!' Her phone's keypad softly clicks as she types. Several charms hanging from a built-in loop jingle softly as she fiddles with the device. Once finished, she claps the phone shut.

Suddenly, a loud digital beep rings from her bag, prying for her attention. Startling her, making her almost drop her phone. "Ah- I forgot!" she says, retrieving a small egg shaped device from deep within her bag. Quickly feeding the virtual pet within it, and healing a sickness that it contracted while she was working. It's relatively simple to do, but with some special items she had gathered in large quantities, she's able to boost its stats and leave it better than before. Sending it off on a quest to gather more digital goodies, before tucking the device away in her bag once more.

The trees remain still, as the sun sets in the distance. Some time has passed and she has wandered over to a vending machine whose light turned on as the night was drawing near. Looking over the variety of drinks to choose from, a latte catches her eye. With a little nod, she confidently inserts the coins needed and retrieves the sweet beverage. Taking it back to the bench with her.

Plopping down onto the bench once more, and putting the spare change back in her bag, she opens the can and rests it between her legs preparing for her meal. She reaches for the croissant resting on the right side of her head and swiftly plucks it off with a soft pop, breaks it in half, and takes a bite from the middle. Its warm soft interior complimented by the well baked crunchy exterior.

"So Yummy~!" she says aloud, as she takes an additional bite of the soft inner bread, setting the other half on her thigh and reaching for her drink. The latte is cool to the touch and feels heavy in her hand. Waiting patiently as she continues chewing some more. "Mmhmnn-" she mumbles happily to herself, and takes a sip from the drink. Its cool can and colder contents are refreshing, smooth, and sweet. A wonderful blend of milk and caffeine that perfectly compliments the oven fresh croissants. She takes a large bite of the remaining half she was holding, then sticks the rest of it in her mouth. Mumbling happily to herself and chugging a hearty amount of her latte.

"Baaa~" she says, swiftly moving the can from her lips in a quick motion, before placing it down on the bench beside her. Taking the remaining half croissant that was resting on her thigh, and in three bites, packs her cheeks full of warm fluffy pastry.

"Chelsi!" A demanding voice shouts from right behind, completely startling her.

It's the person she was waiting for. Impatiently standing behind the bench, and seemingly appearing from thin air. Chelsi turns to the voice, replying with an assortment of whiny muffled sounds from her stuffed face.

"You should have felt my aura as I approached you, but you were too focused on your snack! Come on, let's go." The demanding girl commands. Chelsi stands up, brushing herself off and grabbing her things. Joining the person she was waiting for.
