the process and how you would receive a call later in the day to get the ball rolling.
"W-wow," Hikaru said once she had read the whole thing. "You're really going on a date with April Vilanova?"
"Well, it's supposed to be dinner and a movie," you said. "And it's all a photo opp for the app I guess, so it's more like I get to meet her and take some photos than going on an actual date."
"Still, though..." Hikaru said. "That's a big deal, right? She's famous."
"Mhmm," you nodded, and then shook your head as you put your phone down so you could carve into the omelette she made. You popped the first bite into your mouth and you were hit with a swirl of flavours that exploded on your tongue. "Mm!" you hummed in surprise, then swallowed and blinked, looking over at Hikaru. "That's amazing!"
"Really?" she asked, blushing and grinning widely. "You like it?"
"I love it," you said, reaching across the table and squeezing her hand. "Maybe you really do know how to cook. You're going to make whoever smartens up and dates you a very happy man."
"I hope so," she said, smiling proudly. "But, um, shouldn't you tell Hannah about the thing? She did sign you up for it, right?"
You quickly dialled Hannah, and she picked up on the second ring. "Hey, Ollie! What's shakin'?"
"You know that date raffle you signed me up for?" you asked. "Well, I won."
"What?!" she shouted into the phone. You weren't sure where she was, but hopefully she was alone. "You won?"
"Yeah," you said. "I wasn't expecting it either. I'm supposed to get more details from them later."
"Ho-ly shit," Hannah said. "Wow, that's so cool!"
"Let me talk to her," Hikaru requested, asking for your phone.
"Hikaru wants to talk to you," you said. "Hold on."
You passed over the phone, and the girls started talking quickly and you lost any say in what they were planning. Apparently, you needed new clothes and a haircut. Soon they were planning a shopping trip for you, and they would bring along your friend Margot from next door to boot since she would obviously want in on helping you out as well.
You didn't think that was necessary, but when two of your closest people were insisting, how could you say no?
"Bye, Hannah," you said once Hikaru finally passed back your phone.
"Bye, Ollie," Hannah said. "See you later! Don't try and get out of it, we're counting on you here."
"OK, OK," you said. "I'll be there."
You hung up, and Hikaru was smiling softly. "What?" you asked.
"Nothing," she said. "You just seemed to really like my omelette."
You had, in fact, practically inhaled it. Blushing, you shrugged. "Alright, I admit it. You're better than OK at breakfast."
That got her smiling even wider.
