Abbie's POV
I can't believe today's Friday! I've been waiting all week for today! You probably have no clue what I'm talking about about, am I right? Tonight's my first date with Xavier! We've been texting back and forth but tonight's finally the night.
*Beep* Oh, that must be him now.
Hey Abbie. See you at 8 ;)
I text a quick reply before tossing my phone on the bed.
"I've got a date tonight! With a really cute boy!" I sing-song while dancing and jumping around the room like a crazed lunatic. Out of nowhere, I hear giggling behind me. I turn around to see Emily and Katie trying to suppress their laughter. "What are you guys doing here?!" I shriek as I cover my face with my hands. Heat starts rising to my cheeks.
"We, we got bored..."
"So we decided to, to come back here," Emily finishes for her. They're both out of breath from laughing so hard.
"Ugh, how much did you see?"
"Everything," Katie answers.
"Can we just pretend that none of this ever happened?"
"Like what happened?" Emily winks at me.
"And that's why you're my best friends!" I pull them into a quick hug.
"So who are you going out with? Tall, dark, and handsome?" Katie asks, wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"If you mean Xavier, then yes. Tonight's our first date."
"Awesome! What time is he picking you up?" Emily asks.
"Actually, I'm going to meet him at Il Palazzo."
"Isn't that the fancy Italian restaurant?" Katie asks.
"Yep."
"Aww, that sounds so romantic!" Emily gushes. "What time are you meeting him?"
"Eight."
"What time is it now?" she asks.
"Six," Katie answers for her.
"What?! We gotta get you ready!" Emily shoves me into the bathroom while Katie goes to find an outfit. She comes back with a dress, a clutch purse, and flats in her arms. I quickly put on the dress before Emily goes to work on my hair and makeup. When she finishes, I take a look in the mirror.
"Wow." She did my makeup so perfectly, that it looks professional. It's a soft, neutral tone with some white blended in it that makes my grey eyes seem lighter. She also added a light pink to my cheeks that almost matched the pink on my lips.
For my hair, she took a piece on each side and pinned them in the back with a little, white, beaded barrette.
"What do you think?"
"I love it!" I examine the rest of my outfit. The dress is a mint green that compliments my fair skin. It also has a white, lace belt with beautiful designs of bows and flowers. The dress goes down and stops at my knees. I follow down until my eyes reach my flats. They're also white, lace with adorable matching bows right where the top ends to show my feet.
Katie hands me a cream-colored clutch purse with a wristlet on it. I quickly grab my phone and toss it in it before returning back to them.
"It's 7:30!" Emily exclaims looking at her phone.
"Come on! I'll drive you," Katie says. I follow her, shutting the door behind me as Emily says goodbye.
