Friday came faster than I thought it would. I was looking forward to this date The entire week, and now I just wish it was over already. I hated anticipation.

Jake said that we were going to go to a fancy dinner place and I couldn't help being nervous. I had no idea what to wear especially with me starting to show. Peanut was growing a little too fast, for my liking.

"What are we gonna do?" I asked sadly. Paige looked in my closet. We picked out the top 5 nicest dresses I had. They all consisted of tightness or showed too much cleavage.

"We can't make you look like a bimbo when your pregnant. That's disrespecting Peanut," Paige said.

"Yeah and I'm not sure about screwing anyone with this baby. It'd be awkward," I admit.

"We gotta shop," Paige confirmed. We left the house and went to Macy's. It took a while to find a dress, but I eventually found the perfect one. It was black (perfect color for hiding a bump) and it had lace sleeves that came up to button at my neck. There was a little area that showed off my boobs which was perfect.

I got some really nice back heels to go along with it and a black handbag. Overall, it was a successful trip. We went back home and Paige beautified me.

"So what are you gonna do to my face?" I asked. She stood up and stared at my features for a minute.

"I'm definitely doing the winged eyeliner on you with a bit of mascara. You don't really need eye shadow but you could use some blush. I'm gonna give you some red lipstick, for a pop of color," she concluded. I nodded and let her do her work. I felt like I was in that chair for hours when she finally got done.

I looked stunning when I looked at my reflection. I actually looked drop dead gorgeous. I couldn't believe it.

"Wait there, princess. We need your hair now," Paige said. I plopped back down in the chair and let her style my hair. She gave me loose beach waves and pinned some at the top to the back.

"Oh my god...THANK YOU!" I squealed and hugged the life out of her.

"Your welcome," she said laughing. I let her go and she helped me slip on my dress. It fits perfectly and I look absolutely stunning. The heels added height to my look, making the outfit complete.

"Are you ready to tell him the truth?" Paige asked suddenly. I sighed and remembered that tonight was the night.

"No. I feel like I'm back in college, ya know? Like I'm being taken away and I have no worries," I admit looking down.

"I'm sorry, love. College ended a year ago,"

"I know that. I just sometimes regret having sex with Mason. I mean sure I want Peanut, but it's not the life I dreamed of having. Especially this young," I explained. She nodded and rubbed my shoulders.

"Well, you still got tonight. Let's make it count for something," she replied positively. I smiled and stood up.

We did a quick photo shoot until the bell rung and Paige ran down to get it. It's definitely Jake, I could hear his voice.

I grabbed my purse and shoved a breath mint into my mouth. I checked my teeth and nose one final time and left the room. I was nervous, this was my first date since I had settled with Mason.

As I'm descending the stairs, I see the
Jake's suit and fancy shoes. Pretty soon, his face comes into view and his jaw drops. His eyes watch my every move, eyeing what I was wearing. I blushed and gave a big smile. You have no idea how hard I was trying not to trip.

I finally reached the last step and stood in front of him. He stared at me dumbfounded with his mouth open.

"Hello, Jake," I say, breaking the silence. He meets my eyes.
