The Past - Erich Blunt

self love.

WE HIT 10K READS!!! This is genuinely insane and I truly can't believe that this has happened. This book was made as a way for me to get away from reality, every word I write I have put ounces of thought into it and I'm glad that people can see my dedication. Before I start crying, I want to give a massive thank you to Svosos without Julia, I wouldn't have all of you lovely lot reading my book!

Ps. This is my fav pic of Tom and Grant, they're literal angels.

Here is self love.

a d e l e's  p o v

I'm going on a date with Erich Blunt in less than 3 hours.

Holy fuck.

Like I'm nervous, hella nervous.

I don't know why though, we've literally done everything else minus the whole big romantic event.

This was so new and different to me too, it's as if I've never met Erich.

What the hell have I got myself in for?

I worked in my bed aka the couch all day, I had to approve some articles before they got sent to the publisher.

After what seemed like hours, I finally finished for the day. I closed my laptop and sighed.

I pulled back my blanket and leapt up.

Beth and Ivana wouldn't be home until later this evening so I essentially had the apartment to myself.

I reached for my phone and paired it to the living room speakers, I shuffled my playlist and I couldn't help but laugh when early 2000's Britney started playing.

It certainly matched the vibe for tonight.

I made my way to the bathroom and I brushed through my hair. Since having it cut, it's been so easy to take care of. It suits me and I love it.

My showers are always steaming hot, I love the feeling of warm water on my skin. I began exfoliating my skin before shaving my legs, bikini line and arm pits.

Women don't have it easy.

Once I finished shaving myself, I leaned my head back and washed my hair. The scent of my shampoo filled out the bathroom.

After I was done, I stepped out the shower and wrapped my hair and body in a towel.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

I felt so fresh and clean.

My clothes were laid out on the sofa.

A black tight fitted cocktail dress with a v cut neck line. I bought it at the mall the other day.

To go with the dress, I paired it with a pair of black heels, chunky jewellery and a black clutch bag.

I couldn't help but smile at the idea of me in it.

Before I put on my outfit for tonight, I put on some clean pjs and decide to paint my nails.

Of course I was going to look as good as possible.

I went for a nude pink, it's subtle but still effortlessly classy.

As I was waiting for my nails to dry, Beth sent me a text message.

Good luck for tonight, time for you to show him what he's been missing!!

I smirked at the text and went to put on my makeup.

A dark smokey eye, fluffy falsies and a dark nude lip.

This may have been my best work makeup wise, I couldn't help but feel proud of it.

The next thing to perfect was my hair.

I brushed through my locks and blow dried it, I used my brush to gently curl my hair. It left me with beautiful light waves.

Jesus christ did I look good.

The past few weeks, I've felt like a new woman. I feel like I could take on anything that came my way.

Was it the fact that I was for the first time, in a long time alone?

Most probably.

It's as if I don't have to impress anyone, every thing I do is for myself.

I had it imbedded in my head that I had to look to look a certain way for Erich. Time and time again, he would tell me how beautiful I am and every time I wouldn't believe him.

It's sad really.

I put on my dress and smoothed the sides over the sides of my hips.

It's beautiful.

I'm beautiful.

I fluff up my hair and spray some perfume onto my neck and my wrists.

I exhaled at the sight of me in the mirror.

"I did this."

I whispered to myself.

My phone buzzed.

It was Erich.

I'm in the parking lot x

I ran my tongue over my teeth and put my phone into my clutch bag, along with my lipstick, chewing gum and a mini bottle of perfume.

Before I walked out of the apartment, I looked at myself in the mirror and fluffed up my hair.

Time to show him what he's been missing.
