"So, how are you feeling about today?" Jen said, clearly as excited as I was "you nervous?" 

"Uh...of course! I'm about to confess my feelings to Carter. Aka... the love of my life!" I then exclaimed, "of course I'm gonna feel nervous!"

"Hehe, relax! You're gonna be fine!" She then says, enthusiastically, "just hold your head up and smile. And just remember...don't overthink things when you think it's going bad. Unless it is...but that's unlikely! You knew that Carter had a crush on you! So you don't have to worry about him ever rejecting you. The only thing you have to worry about is the date. You got reservations for that restaurant your planning on going to, right?"

"Yup, and luckily for me. I got the last available table for this evening. Everything else was booked!" I then exclaimed, relieved that I managed to get a table.

"That's good! So you don't have to worry about a thing. Just pray that everything goes well!" Jen then says, with a smile on her face.

"Hehe, thanks Jen. You've been a big help in this process," I then said, stating how thankful I was for her.

"No problem! Now you have fun. Gosh, this day is gonna be so much fun!" She then says, with a slight glitter in her eyes.

"Ooo, why? You and your boyfriend plan on something?" I then asked, with a grin.

"Hey! It's not like that! He's taking me star gazing this evening. And he's taking me out to this outdoor restaurant," she then says, "clearly both of us are gonna have a great Valentine's Day."

"You say it! Anyways, I need to go, I need to get ready this evening," I then say, looking at myself in the mirror.

"Me too, I need to iron my dress. And get my hair all perfect for tonight. I'll talk to you later, okay?" She then says, before standing up.

"Alright, talk to you later! Good luck!" I then say, just as she hangs up the video call.

I sighed, before chuckling at her. But I wouldn't blame her. I would wanna look my best for today.

Especially if you're going to go on a date.

You would wanna look really nice for your date with your significant other.

So the stress and pressure is really on.

But whether or not I look good. I just know this day is going to be in my head for the rest of my life.

And I am so happy for today!

Here I was, just two hours ago. Waking up, happy that I had just one more day of the weekend to enjoy.

But after doing my skincare today. I looked up at the wall clock in my bathroom. Only to realize that it was 2 p.m in the afternoon.

I didn't think anything of that. It was typical of me to sleep in until midday.

But that was until I looked at the date on the clock.
