"one date. that's all i ask." anabelle pleads and i gave her a look.

my eyes scanned hers. they showed sincerity and they were begging.

"one date." i finalized, "if i don't even it, then we don't speak again."

anabelle nodded fastly, "got it. uhh what do you like? something expensive? cheap? what?"

"that's for you to figure out yourself, ana." i said.

"can i have your number?"

i nodded hesitantly and gave her the house phone number and left her in the bathroom.

i wasn't going to let her talk to me and then allow her to take me out. even though this was a big opportunity for me, i had to be careful. she could be playing me and any moment i can be humiliated.

i entered the two bedroom apartment and sighed as i rested my bag on the couch. i went and sit down, laying down as the air flowed through from the open windows.

i lived alone so there was no cooked dinner coming home to, no warm welcome, no love. my parents gave themselves to drugs and left me alone to die when i was 16. ever since then i've been living on my own.

the money that i have is from what i found in their bedroom - $10,000. it was almost finished now and i knew things could get real nasty when the $10,000 is finished.

i sighed and closed my eyes in thought.

how am i going to do this? play this "life" game a little longer?

i got up when i heard the phone ringing and walked to it. i held up the phone, placing it at my ear.

"hello?"

"hey, delilah. it's anabelle." i heard the familiar voice said in the phone.

"oh, hi," i said softly.

"how are you?"

"im fine, you?"

"im alright, just thinking about you." i could hear the smile in her voice. i blushed and bit my lip.

"yeah? what are you thinking about me?"

"a lot of things. like how pretty you are, how beautiful you'll look when i see you tonight and the list goes on, baby."

if it was possible, my cheeks got darker. im so glad she's not seeing me right now. im possibly a tomato.

i didn't know what to respond with so i changed the topic, "what should i for tonight?"

"a dress or anything you like."

"alright," i said, "time and venue?"

"6:45 and im coming to pick you up so don't worry about the venue. it's a surprise." i heard some shuffling in the back.

i smiled.

"what's your address?"

i told her my address and then we chatted for a little more time and then bid goodbye. i squealed and rushed to my room and looked at the clock.

4:58pm.

i head to the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. it was early but i wanted to look pretty for her so im going to take my time.
