You had always kept yourself to yourself. Growing up almost alone and always keeping the straight and narrow. When things didn't go to plan in New York with your long term boyfriend Nathan you moved back to Boston to be closer to family and friends...
Running the bath you lit some candles, put some music on and then sunk into the hot water. The glass of wine sat on the edge of the bath that you kept sipping on slowly. Singing quietly along to the music you thought to the open mic night. Perhaps you should dig your keyboard and guitar out of the spare room and write a song or two. A ping from your phone pulled you from your relaxation.
Chris E- Looking forward to seeing you but I may be a little late getting you, I'm so sorry I have a meeting and right now it looks like it may run over. Chris x
Me- No problem. If you need to reschedule we can. I had a long day so currently relaxing before getting ready. Nell x
Chris E- No I promise I will be with you no later that 7.45. Can't wait. Chris x
You smile knowing that he is excited about the date. Finishing off your bath, washing yourself and shaving, you know just in case. Moving around the apartment you dried your hair and added some curls, sitting at the dresser in the spare room, you looked at the mass of clothes around you. Perhaps you should have thought about what you were going to wear before your due to go out. Choosing to do your make up simple so it would go with whatever you wore. Black eyeliner with the cat eye flick at the corners and you would go with a simple nude lip.
Standing in your towel the time was now seven fifteen and you should really be thinking about looking for something to wear. Strolling around the room you look at the clothes, you were going to a reasonably posh restaurant, jeans wouldn't cut it. It had to be a dress. Finally you settle on a beautiful lilac off shoulder dress which fits your hour glass figure amazingly.

Putting on some nude heels and touching up your lipstick you pack a few things in a little matching clutch bag and look down at your phone. It was almost time to head out with Chris, you were really hoping that he wouldn't be too late, if he was too late you may have lost your nerve and cancelled altogether.
Pacing the room you sip the last of your wine and check yourself in the mirror one more time to make sure that you were wearing the right thing. Minimal jewellery and you had tucked one side of your hair behind your ear.
No stop you were getting inside your head. You had already been out with him and everything went fine, the conversation never stopped flowing and you made each other laugh the whole time. As the time ticked by you got more and more nervous. The doorbell rang and you looked over in the direction of the noise confused. Trotting over to the door you swung it open to find Chris with a huge bunch of flowers.
"Hey." Smiling at him.
"Wow," His eyes are wide and his mouth is slightly open. "I'm glad we didn't reschedule. You look, incredible. These are for you." Taking the huge bunch of flowers from him you walk into your apartment and he follows behind you. Putting the flowers in a vase you smile sweetly at him.
