Chapter 74: Going to a date
1037words
"This whole boyfriend thing and dating thing, I have never done it before so I don't have any clue how to do it.......", He trailed off looking a bit haunted. "What if I screw it up?",
That made my heart squeeze. What made him think that he would screw up? I'm not perfect and I don't expect him to be either. Jason is the only guy I have been with in a relationship so I'm sure I don't know what I'm doing too.
"We will figure this out together", I whispered giving him a small smile.
"Yeah",
"Oh! Yeah", I nodded too.
I could tell that he was iching to pull me toward him but he didn't. Was I a bit disappointed? Yes I was, but we just let our skeletons out of the closet. We need to focus on communication and getting to know each other with our clothes on no matter how badly I wanted to tear his off right now.
"I have an idea", Drake jumped up excitedly and grinned down at me. "Go take a shower and get ready. I will be back in an hour to take you out on a real date",
My cheeks flushed as the butterflies came swarming back into my stomach. He wants to take me out on a real date?
Like an excited puppy, Drake ran through my house and existed through the back. I was giggling through out the whole time until I realized that I was all alone and knew I had to get ready. But I have no idea of what to wear! Luis is the one who usually helps me in such situations. Where the hell did my best friend run off to anyway?
I grabbed my phone and called him i'mmediately making my way upstairs to my closet so that he could instruct me on what to pick out.
"Why are you calling me right now? You should be on your back screaming my name.... I mean Drake's name",
I giggled and shook my head.
"Even though I do owe you thanks. I also need your help more than that right now. Drake wants to take me out on a real date and I don't fucking have a clue what to wear. I'm kind of freaking out here, Luis", And honestly I was. I didn't realize till now how much my hands and knees were trembling.
"Calm down, Luis is here to help. Okay are you standing in front of your closet?",
"Yes", I replied faster.
.
"Go to the right side and dig near the back. I snuck out this black amazing Dolce and Gabbana cocktail dress and slipped it into your closet when you weren't looking . Again you can thank me later",
I was a giggling mess as I dug through the right side of my closest and found a black garment bag with Dolce and Gabbana's logo on it. I have no idea how he managed this but I was so grateful.
Slipping it from the hanger, I unzipped the bag and eyed the gorgeous cocktail dress within. It was absolutely perfect. "Okay I don't know how you did this but I want to kiss you right now"
"Whoa, save those voluptuous lips for the D-man",
"D-man?", I chuckled.
"Yeah, it's what I call Drake now. Okay there are a pair of black studded stilettos to go with it. Gucci box, bottom left in your closet",
I'm not even going to comment on how my best friend knows my closet more than me right now. I'm just thankful that he sneaks me in goodies that I don't know about. What else is in here that I don't know about?!
"Got them?",
The box was fancier than any shoe I have ever seen. I wonder if the price was so high because of this box as well. It was literally felt or maybe satin. Hell I have no idea.
I chucked the lid and stared at the glorious shoes inside. I have never been the type of woman to gawk at designer shoes and clothes but one look at these and I was already in love in them.
"Where did you get these?", I asked.
Luis snorted. "A man with taste never reveals his secrets. Now go and take your shower and do your hair. Add some products and let it do it's natural curly thing. Your hair is gorgeous when you let it go wild. Call me when you get home and tell me all about it",
I laughed shaking my head. "And then you can tell me why you ran out this afternoon acting all strange",
"Gotta go! Enjoy your evening", Then he hung up before I could say anything.
What the hell is wrong with my best friend lately? Is he having a mental break down of sort. Oh! My god.
I shrugged that thought as soon as I held the dress up, I couldn't stop the excitement from racing through me. This thing was absolutely stunning and I couldn't wait to see Drake's reaction to me in it. It didn't leave much to the imagination and it's the only dress I have ever worn that has shown this much skin. I just hope it fits. There isn't much to this thing.
Looking at the time, I nearly panicked seeing that I had wasted nearly twenty minutes talking to Luis. How did that happen?! I rushed into the bathroom and jumped in the shower, making sure to create that natural look when I got out.
I left my make up light with just eyeliner and mascara on the top lids and lashes, adding some lip plumping gloss that Luis insisted he bought for me two weeks ago. I haven't used it till now. Then I slipped the dress on, pulled it down as far as the material would let me, slipped my feet into studded stilettos then walked over to the mirror.
"Oh my god", I shrieked trying to cover myself.
