Rogue and Carol - Dom and Cordelia's coffee place!

[misscaroldanvers]

The cute girl with the cute gator stories was Carol's new favorite person (sorry Vic) and she was the only person keeping Carol remotely sane. They had formed a quick, easy bond in the couple of weeks since they'd met, and while Carol still wasn't sure if Rogue 'took after her moms', to phrase it delicately, Carol was like, drunk in her crush.

So when she invited Rogue for coffee in the late afternoon, it was a friend thing, but it also sort of wasn't; every minute felt like a date because Carol just wanted to kiss Rogue all the time. So she was sitting with her coffee and a gigantic cookie, and she was going to read a book and wait for Rogue, but the words had absolutely no meaning. So instead Carol looked at the cute blonde barista, and looked at the door to see if Rogue was coming in, and at the door again, and at the door again, and... well, you get the picture.

She'd been Skyping with her mothers when Irene asked pointedly why Rogue hadn't told them about Carol. Psychic mothers were so irritating like that, especially when the reason she hadn't told them about Carol is that she hadn't wanted them to gloat about being right about her making friends and starting to like New York and everything else they were likely to rub in. Just that one comment was enough to start Raven in on the questions and it seemed to take forever to give them enough information that they'd finally let her hang up, even if all Irene did the rest of the call was nod and make knowing noises.

Seriously. Psychic mothers were the worst.

Of course by the time she got away from her computer, she'd lost all the buffer time she'd given herself to find her way to the cafe. Rogue had thought she had a good sense of direction until she'd come to New York and started getting lost everywhere she went. When she pushed through the cafe door a solid ten minutes after she said she'd be there, she was flushed and just a little out of breath from running up the stairs at the nearby subway stop. Still, she smiled brightly when she caught sight of Carol and weaved her way carefully through the other tables to get to her. "Hey there."
