Dristan Zaffre

Tonight I'm taking out Blair and I couldn't be more nervous. She chose an expensive restaurant, probably to spite me because of what happened yesterday. I do not come from a wealthy family, so I'll have to dig into my savings account for college for this. It better be worth it. Who am I kidding? Of course it's worth losing a bit of my savings. It's Blair.

"Hey." I freeze. It can't be. My brother, Kass, is in the military and I haven't seen him in 2 years. But he's here. He's really fucking here.

"Oh my god. Kass, what are you doing here?" I hug him and we both go to sit on my bed. "And what the fuck happened?" Kass is walking with a limp.

"It's nothing. Just a bad leg."

"What happened to it?"

"Got shot."

"Jesus. Are you okay?"

"Yep. Can't feel a thing."

"Well, that's good. How long are you off?"

"3 months."

"So you're here till school finishes."

"Yep."

"Good. Dad is pissing me the fuck off."

"What now?"

"You haven't seen him yet?"

"Nah. I'm gonna wait until he gets home."

"He's getting married."

"Fuck. To who?"

"My principal."

"Jesus. That taken lady from Vegas was low, but your principal?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, why are you wearing a suit?" I can't contain my smile when I remember the woman I'm wearing this suit for.

"I've got a date."

"Huh."

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just, you don't do dates? Or girlfriends? Or suits, for that matter."

"She's different."

"Ohh, okay. I see what's going on here. My little bros in love."

"Stop."

"What's she look like?"

"She's got long, straight ginger hair, blue eyes, big pink lips, a cute little button nose. Her body is unreal. I'm talking big boobs, big ass, little waist and long legs. Jesus, my description doesn't do her near enough justice. She's smart, like really smart. She's got straight A's and she's funny. She's stubborn as hell, but I like it when she challenges me. And her voice is light and sexy and it flows-"

"You've got it bad."

"No. I just like her. That's all."

"You love her. Right? No man describes a girl like that unless he's in love with her."

"Just get out and let me get ready."

"Don't deny this Dristan."

Wear a nice dress. I'm not being the one that's overdressed.

I wait a few minutes for her reply and when I read her message, a smile grows.

You're wearing a suit, aren't you?

No.
