Walking in to The Coffee Bean, Edie looked around nervously & when no one approached her, she decided that her date hadn't arrived so after ordering a hot chocolate, she sat by the window and sighed loudly, she didnt know why she'd agreed to meet someone but Ally could be very persuasive.
Every time the door opened, Edie looked up and held her breath but so far, her date was a no show & secretly Edie was panicking that they werent coming.
(ooc. Anyone? Can be her 'date' or just a random)

(ooc: idk how Nick would know Ally, but I wanted to post with him so uhhh... let's just go with it)
Nick pushed the door to The Coffee Bean open with his shoulder, squinting at his phone where Ally Bennett had sent him a last-minute text about some girl she wanted to set him up with. Apparently, they were both a couple of saddos who'd married far too young, sat around patiently while their spouses fucked around and got to watch their marriages slowly fall apart around them -- a perfect start to any fairytale romance, really! Nick was running late, as he had decided to circle the block a few times before entering the coffee shop. He hadn't really dated since Naomi, and was uncharacteristically nervous about getting back into the game.
He walked up to a cute girl by the window, still squinting at his phone. "Uh. Hey," he started gruffly, "I'm s'posed to meet an 'Eddie' here..." He looked momentarily confused before noticing his mistake. "Oh, ha ha, it's Edie, sorry. I'm uh, I'm straight. And Nick. Straight Nick," he finished while nodding once. In summary: he was straight, Nick, and probably brain damaged judging by the way he'd decided to introduce himself.

(ooc. Ally seems to know EVERYONE so its cool!)
Looking up as she heard the door opening, Edie spied a rather attractive bloke and shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, there was no way she was THAT lucky so went back to her hot chocolate, wondering who Ally had dragged up for her. When the hot bloke approached her and spoke to her, Edie just stared at him with her mouth open before she snapped back to reality and stood up quickly, knocking over her hot chocolate all over the table. "Oh fuck!" she exclaimed loudly before looking at the guy, "Im Edie...really clumsy" she smiled, pointing to the mess she'd made before smiling shyly up at him. "Want to get a different table....theres a mess" she laughed softly, her cheeks pinkening as she kept looking at this gorgeous mans face.

"Ha. Oh. No, that's cool," Nick assured her, pushing a pile of wet napkins rather unhelpfully around the table before leaving them in a sad little clump and shuffling off to point to a different seat. "Good?" They were on even footing as far as graceless first impressions went, at least. "I'm Nick," and you already said that, dumbass, "Uh, Velasquez." He sat down, crossing his arms. "Mexican, by way of South Central Los Angeles. I'm twenty five? Auror, big into surfing, played baseball back in school... yeah," he finished. Nick generally didn't consider himself a super-interesting guy, so he was more than willing to come off as 'strong and silent' and letting Edie talk for awhile.

Edie smiled gratefully as Nick didnt seem to mind that she was very clumsy & he even made a move to clean up her little mess before they moved to a clean, un-Edie-d table. "Much better, I'll try not to spill anything this time" she smiled and sat down, her hands were shaking, Ally never bothered to mention that Nick was INCREDIBLY attractive & Edie wasnt sure she'd be able to function as a normal human being.
"Ooh, Mexican? Thats cool, I like tacos." she interjected, nodding her head as he spoke before clearing her throat & beginning to tell him about her, "Im Edie Myers-well...Jennings? I dunno really what I should by." she stopped and frowned before shrugging her shoulders, "Im 22, I collect chocolate frog cards and I dont work. I look after my little sister for my mum, thats about it." Shit, I sound so boring! she thought to herself, biting her lip at how boring she must sound so she decided to inform him of why she hadnt worked since leaving school, "Im married. Well, I was married so I was like the stay at home mum...but without the kid. Thats why I havent worked, Im looking for work now though." she hoped he wasnt scared off by this little fact, Ally had told her not to mention Luke but alas, Edie usually just said what was in her head when it appeared there.
"So...have you lived here long?" she asked, trying to move on from Luke, hoping Nick wasnt a fan of his.
(ooc. Sorry it took a while & shes a little meh)
