Behind The Mask II Harry Styles #Wattys2015

Chapter 16

I locked the door of the coffee shop and started making my way home. It was 8:00 and I had an hour until Nate was going to be at my apartment to pick me up. I made it to my apartment at 8:17 and immediately started getting ready. I curled my hair and applied black winged eyeliner and red lipstick.

I wasn't sure what to wear so I texted Nate. What should I wear? I waited for a reply while I brushed my teeth. My phone buzzed and I looked to see what Nate texted. Formal ;) It was 8:55 right now. I finished brushing my teeth and ran to my closet to figure out what to wear. He was going to be here any second now.

I panicked and threw out a bunch of dresses on my bed. I finally decided on a black one. It had lace at the top and it flowed out around my waist and ended at mid thigh. I paired it with a pair of black pumps and right when I was sliding my shoe on, there was a knock on my door.

"I'll be there in a minute!" I yelled. I looked at myself in the mirror one time before I ran to the door almost breaking my ankle in the process. I opened the door to see Nate standing on the other side wearing a suit with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. He looked really handsome.

"The last time I saw you in a suit was in 7th grade at that stupid church dance." I laughed.

"Hey!" He defended himself. He handed me the roses and I thanked him.

"Come in for a second while I put these in some water." I said. He followed closely behind me as I walked to my tiny kitchen and hunted for a vase in my cupboards. I got one and filled it with water before arranging the roses in it.

"They're beautiful!" I gushed. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me.

"As are you." I blushed at his words and playfully pushed him off of me.

"Let's go." I said. He laughed again and I followed him out of my apartment. We walked down the steps of my apartment and I got in his car. We were driving for almost 30 minutes and he hadn't said a word. I was really curious to know where we were going.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To eat." He said.

"Where at?" He didn't say anything and I just shook my head. About 10 minutes later we pulled up outside of a really fancy looking restaurant.

"We're eating here???" I questioned.

"Yep." There was no way I could ever afford eating here, even if I saved up for months. He took my hand and we walked inside. A waited came to us and asked us for our reservation. Nate told him his name and he lead us to our table.

"A waiter will be here shortly. Please enjoy your meal." He smiled at us and handed us our menus. He walked away and I opened up my menu. There was a bunch of meals named on the menu but I didn't know what any of them where because they were all in French.

"What should I get?" I asked.

"What sounds good?"
