A Bed of Roses (Completed)

Later that night
9pm

"What do y'all think?" I asked as Ferrow and Mel sat in my room while they helped me choose an outfit for tonight.

I was currently getting ready in my bedroom's mirror for Carter and I's third but first official date, that I would actually be attending this time.

Willingly and happily.

"Well, it depends, sis."

"Right. Where exactly are y'all going?" Ferrow butted in as they both looked down at my attire.

"I don't know yet, he didn't tell me."

"He never does." I slowly turned around in a full circle to let them see the entire thing. I had on my silk mini dress that had spaghetti straps and a little of my cleavage showing.

I just had to show something. Everyone knew I really enjoyed showing my body but I didn't know where we were going so I was a little self conscious at this point.

And I didn't want to start trying to change myself again like the last time. Carter had already made it clear to me he liked me the way that I was.

I could wear anything I wanted and he wouldn't mind.

I just wanted to look perfect.

"Did he tell y'all anything?" I couldn't help but to ask but they both shook their head no at me.

"Well then, I don't know." I shrugged unsurely as I continued looking at myself, looking at how my body like.

"Well, I think you look good, boo."

"As long as y'all aren't going to the movies or anything, you know movie theaters be cold as hell."  Mel said, typing away on her phone and I nodded in agreement, looking into my closet.

"Well then, what if I just bring something for my arms, just in case?" I asked them, it was late august and still extremely hot at both morning and night these days but I didn't want to be cold if the date was for the movies.

"Yeah, just bring something just in case."

"If not, leave it in the car." Ferrow suggested with a shrug and I nodded my head, grabbing a small jacket.

"Alright, I'll do that." I spoke, sighing in relief as I held the jacket in my arms, doing a once over one more time before I got out of the mirror completely.

As soon as I did, the doorbell rang almost instantly and I smiled to myself, seeing my phone buzzing on the bed beside me.

"I think that's Carter." Was all I said, grabbing my phone as Ferrow quickly got up with her phone in her hands as well too.

We both made our way down the staircase slowly and she got to the door first, opening it as both Carter and Kate stood there looking at us.

"Hey!" Kate spoke first to Ferrow as they pulled each other in for a hug and I shifted my focus to Carter whose tall figure stood there, looking down at me in awe like he usually does.

"Hi." I spoke softly as I smiled small and he couldn't help but to smirk before he came in the door completely, leaning down to grab me into his arms tightly.

"What's going on, ma?" He asked as I wrapped my arms around his neck, taking in his manly scent.

"You ready to go?" He then asked and I nodded shyly, looking up into his eyes as we slowly pulled away from each other.

"Got damn." He admired, looking down at what I had on before he licked his lips, taking his bottom lip in between his teeth.

"You look good as always, baybeh."
