𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚎Pacing my living room my mind is scrambled with guys who I might want to ask to come with me.
I don't really know a lot of guys. There's Alan from the cafe across the street, but I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm a zombie since I walk in every morning looking like one. I just need to get my coffee before I look presentable. I could ask James my neighbor, but he has a boyfriend.
what did I get myself into???
A knock nearly makes me have a full-blown heart attack and I go to my door with my heart beating fast. Peeking through the peep hole I see the mop of straight hair and a smile.
"Mason!" I swing open the door and run into his arms. Although it's a little uncomfortable since he didn't open his arms for me I give him a sweet smile.
He stands there and furrows his brows looking down at me. "V? What is wrong with you?" He leads us into my apartment.
"Can I not just hug my amazing friend?" I hug him tighter.
"Not without wanting something." He tries to move out of my hug, but I won't budge.
"Ohhh that reminds me, I have a huge favor to ask youuu."
"Knew it." He manages to untangle my arms from his torso.
"You got any hot friends?" I ask bluntly.
His trip to my kitchen halts and he looks back at me with a confused look. "What?" He asks.
"Well I sorta need a date. So I was wondering if you had any hot friends." I repeat.
Opening my cupboard He grabs a cup and pours some iced tea. "So you're dating now huh?"
"Well no. But yes. But no." I debate in my head out loud.
"It's either a yes or no." He chuckles.
"No-ish." I fish my fingers together.
"To answer your previous question, no." He takes a sip of his drink.
I whine and lay with my hands sprawled on my kitchen island.
"Plus, if I did, I would never trust them with you."
"Come on. It's just for one-" I stop.
I have an idea! I'll take Mason! He and I wouldn't actually date or do anything but I feel comfortable with him so it could look like we've been dating for a while. The perfect plan.
"Be my date!" I spring up.
"no." He answers immediately.
"Come on Mason! I need a date and we wouldn't kiss or do couple things, but you could look like my boyfriend! Pleaseee." I look at him with puppy dog eyes. Please say yes Mason, please see the hole I've dug myself in is irreversible.
"V, this is such a stupid fucking idea." He rolls his eyes and runs both his hands through his hair annoyed.
"So, is that a, yes?" I smile cheekily.
"whatever." He rolls his eyes. He can be so sassy!
"Yay!" I jump up with my hands in the air. Mission success.
Ok I have a date. Now I just need a dress!
"You're the best you know." I walk out of the kitchen and into my living room. He doesn't answer as I look around my living room for my phone. It's probably buried in one of these dumb cushions.
"Hey, you know what else would be awesome?" I question. He grunts in response. "If you went shopping with me!"
"Nope. I've done enough." He sets his glass down. "Ask Jamie."
"But then I'd be there for five hours too long." I slump.
"I'll meet you in the car. Hurry up." He leaves and slams my door.
I throw on a cardigan and put my hair up in a claw clip and grab my purse. I tie my converse super fast and head out. Skipping down the stairs I see Mason in his car scrolling through his phone.
"Hey." I greet as I get in. "You know how great of a frie-"
"Yeah, yeah." He hushes me and reverse so fast I grip my seat in order to not die.

I open the door and spin around showing the flowy dress. "What do'ya think?" I pop my hip out in a pose.
"good." He puts a thumb up.
"That's not helpful at all." I throw my hands up.
Every single dress I've worn he gives a simple thumbs up or a casual smile or a "great". He's given me that line three times now.
"ugh." I huff.
Heading back in the dressing room I unzip my dress all by myself, because I have ninja skills. I shimmy up a tighter dress that accents my little butt which is saying something. It has a cute neckline that doesn't show too much but just enough and covers my back. The bottom is on the shorter side but It's not too short. A beautiful black dress that compliments my wild red hair.
"This is the one Mason!" I open the door.
He looks up momentarily and gives a smile.
Same reaction as all the other dresses. Whatever this one's my favorite. I walk out of the dressing room and look at myself through the mirrors. I do a little dance and then some poses and that's how I know this is the one for me.
