Are we meant to be?

17.

Melanie's POV

After taking a shower, I plug on my hairdryer. After that I plug on my hair straightener.

Wait a minute....

Why am I fixing myself up? It's just coffee, jeez. I'm acting like a girl going on a date for the first time.

"That IS a date"

A blush crept it's way to my cheeks and I cover my face with my hands.

"I can't believe this" I muttered.

I uncover my face and look at myself in the mirror. I look at myself, I wasn't the Melanie that was so heartbroken. Today, I look like a new Melanie. My eyes were more lively.

The door suddenly slammed open and in came Mark with mom.

"I heard somebody has a date" mom said wiggling her eyebrows.

Great..... (note the sarcasm)

"Ugh, mom not you too"

"Can you leave us girls alone Mark?".

"Sure mom." He said closing the door.

"Hey, I'm just happy for you. Your taking your first step of moving on from James."

My eyes widen in realization. I'm....moving on. That's what I want... right?

It is right.

"I am?"

"You're doing the right thing sweetheart. You can't control fate, they always have something up their sleeves" mom said rubbing my back.

"I guess you're right mom. I can't waste my time grieving about James. I need to concentrate on pursuing my dreams."

"That's my girl. Now, what should we do with your hair?" She asked twirling a lock of my hair.

"I guess, something simple. Not too showy or over."

"Aye aye Captain" she said.

Mom sat me on a chair and plug on a hair curler and start her magic. After about 5 minutes,  my hair's gourgeous. My hair was more bouncy, my curls were dangling freely down my chest.

"Now for your make-up" she said turning the chair.

This was weird but....I like it. This is my first time using make up, I usually just put on foundation, lipstick, and mascara.

After a minute or two with moms magical bibide babodee boo magic, she turned the chair and told me to open my eyes.

I slowly lift them open and was amazed at the girl infront of me. She was simple, but has an elegant touch. I turn to my mom and gave her a bear hug.

"Thanks mom. I love you"

"I love you too honey, now let's get you something to wear." She said walking in my closet.

(Melanie's outfit on the side)

I went to my vanity mirror, I look...like myself again.

This moving on thing is making me awe at it's surprises.

I glance at the clock and it was 2:00.

First Date, please be good to me.
