I and Em spent the entire day going over my dresses, my makeup and just generally trying to make me look presentable. This was my first date. I was 16 and this was my first date but I couldn't be happier. Emma was fussing over me and giving me tips on how to behave. " Do not slouch at the table during dinner and make sure he knows you're interested in what he's saying" she said while running a brush through my hair. " Should we keep your hair down or tie them up?" before I could respond she said " Yeah you're right, it looks better down. Now let's get to your make up". Emma chose a wine red coloured dress for me. It was the prettiest dress I owned. I and Em had bought it together but till now I never had the chance to wear it. She fussed over me for another half an hour till I was ready. " Becky Ryder. You beauty. I honestly have not seen you looking more prettier in my life" commented Emma after having seen me, her final product. I thought she was exaggerating till I saw myself in the mirror. I didn't recognise the girl in the mirror. I didn't know her. She looked elegant and poised. Her dark hair fell past her shoulders in curls. She had beautiful eyes. They sparkled. Her smile was captivating. She had an innocent baby like face but she looked exotic right now. It took me a while to realise I was looking at myself. Never before had I been more proud of the way I looked. I hugged Em before I choked and thanked her for making me look the way I did. " You're beautiful Becks. Finn won't be able to remove his eyes of you" she told me smiling " I need to go now. All the best for your date. I need all the details once you're back". She hugged me and left.
Just then there was a knock on my bedroom door. " Come in". Zack walked in. He stood there staring at me for a good 2 mins. "So?" I asked " Do I look presentable enough for my date tonight?" "Becky. I don't know what to say. "" That bad huh? " I asked playfully." My best friend is the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. She is a vision to behold and so beautiful that it physically pains me." I laughed. " You look amazing Becky. Finn is a really lucky guy. Tell him if he doesn't treat you right, he has me to go through" said Zack his tone getting serious as he said that last sentence. I walked up to him and hugged him. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and thanked him for always being there for me. Just then I got a call from Finn saying he was waiting for me outside my house. I left saying goodbye to Zack.
Finn took me to a lovely restaurant. It was cosy and the place was beautifully lit. The setting and mood was very romantic. He had the waiter place us at a quite corner. The evening was amazing. Finn was a gentleman and made me feel very comfortable the entire time. He always managed to make me laugh and I felt like I could talk to him about him anything. You could forget the entire world, lost in his beautiful eyes. And that goofy smile of his. The entire place lit up when he smiled. This was the best first date any girl could ever ask for.
Zack's POV
Becky was beautiful. She didn't realise this and nor did I till I saw her today. I felt so stupid for not noticing it till now but now that I had I was never going to let her forget it. I was worried for her though. This was her first date. And I didn't want that Finn guy to hurt her. If he did, I don't know what I would do. Becky deserved the best. I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly noticed the time.
It was 10 pm and Becky hadn't called me yet. I picked up my phone and called her, her phone was switched off. This was not like her. It was late, her phone was sbwitched off and I didn't trust that Finn guy so I was naturally worried. I decided to go check up on her to make sure she's ok. I got in my car and left for her place. As I was pulling in the driveway I saw her standing with him on her porch. They were talking and she looked happy. As he was leaving he hugged her goodbye. They hugged for a long time. As he pulled away he kissed her and she kissed him back. An irrational anger surged through me. All I wanted to do was get out of my car and beat Finn up but knowing how upset that would make Becky, I drove away.
