Athena mentally printed out a map in her head, it helped her visualise where to go. Her imagination begs to put discription into color full images. "There's a small farmers market a few more blocks down the road. They always have fresh meats and the ripest fruit and veggies. And Mrs. Smithson owns a grocery store. You take a left right before you get to the market and she's a block down that road."
Athena nodded gently, already thinking what she needed to pick up. Milk, bread, cheese, maybe some tomatoes and herbs. I wonder if there's any herbs in the kitchen cupboards.... her thought process came to an immediate halt at Willow's next statement. "Or if you don't feel like cooking tonight, There's a family dinner that's got a great deal where 2 people can eat fairly cheap." Athena's face became bright red and she looked down sheepishly. Was this woman asking her out?, they had only just met. Was she even gay? Again her thinking was jolted again "You know, for you and your boyfriend?"
If possible she became even brighter at the question and she giggled softly " I don't have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend for that matter. I'm a homosexual" she explained twirling her fingers in her hair, she wondered what Willow's hair felt like, it looked so soft and silky like she was a rabbit. " if you like I can hang around with you until you are finished, I'll help you clean up and you can show me the markets. Would you like to join me for dinner at the diner? it might take a while, an Artist eye takes in all the beauty and I'm always stopping to look at things and take reference pictures for my work"
That should do it, a small bit of courage was all you needed. It wasn't like she was asking her out it was more like a friend thing. Someone to show her around, get to know her and then ask her out.
