Finding Joy

Chapter 10

"This is cute. What you think?" Erin told me holding up the deep purple chiffon romper and a gold belt.

"It's cute. I likey." I said smiling, and pulling my robe on myself tighter.

"Go and get dressed." He shooed me.

I quickly slid out of my robe, putting on the necessary undergarments, and then sliding into my romper

I decided to play it a little safe, being as he did say casual, I put on a black paid of Zara heeled sandals along with a gold belt around my waist and my hair in curls.

"You look cute." Erin told me.

"Thank you. Should I do a beat?" I asked referring to my makeup.

"No, you can go bare face, out on some glowing serum and a good lip gloss and you're perfect." He said with a smile.

"Alright. I wonder what he has planned." I said thinking aloud

"Well when you get to your destination let us know." Kelsey said.

"I will, what y'all gonna do tonight?" I asked

"We staying here for Sunday dinner and then probably watch a movie here, wait till you get home and chill with you." Erin said

"Or y'all can eat and go to your place Erin. I planned on staying there because it's closer and I know I may be too tired to wake up in the morning to make that hour commute." I explained.

"That's cool too." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Okay. Well he's outside so I'll see y'all later?" I asked.

"Yes. Have fun love." Kelsey said giving me kisses.

"Have fun." Kelsey said.

"Yeah, have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Erin said.

"It's not much you wouldn't do." I said laughing a little.

"That's true. Ahh! " he said doing a little dance.

I shook my head and walked out of
The house. Erin and Kelsey sometimes stay for family dinner because Erin isn't really close to is family, with some of them not accepting his life choices of pretty much everything and Kelsey just comes because ever since we were teens we were stuck together.

"Hello." I said as he stood at more door step.

"Hey, I got you these." He said giving me Sam assortment of
Flowers. "I didn't know what a your favorite flower was, and I realized that when I got to the flower shop, so the woman was helpful enough to help me and she asked me to describe you, and we picked flowers and the color for each word I described you as." He told me.

"Aww." I said smiling down at them. "Tell me what they mean, if you remember please." I said slightly smiling.

He guided me to his truck before telling me sure. We started to drive and I looked down at the different colors and flowers. It was so beautiful.

We sat through the car ride in a calming silence as he focused on the road and I played with the flowers in my lap.

It's so thoughtful of him to do something like that for me.

"We are here." He said after coming to a stop.

I looked up to see a big house. It was beautiful on the outside and you could tell that whoever lived here or anywhere near this house payed good money for it.

"Is this your home?" I asked.

"Yes, when we are on FaceTime last night, you told me that you weren't really into the traditional dates and wanted someone to put in thought about it. You also told me that you didn't mind just relaxing, so although we are both dressed, we will be enjoying our night here, if that's okay with you." He said looking at me.
