The next morning I woke up and went to meet Aleah for coffee. I walked into starbucks and saw Aleah already there with my coffee she ordered for me. I walked up and sat down. “thanks for ordering for me.”
“no problem,” she smiled, “ so tell me, what happened with Dace?” she winked at me and laughed.
“not what you did with the blonde haired guy” I laughed. “in all seriousness, his pretty cool. And cute. he asked me for my number and we’re going to hang out soon.”
“its about fucking time you saw a new guy.” She said.
“shut it” I said. “aleah?”
“What?” she replied.
“last night I had a dream” I said “of that night”
“and?” she asked looking down and stirring her coffee.
“it was different” I told her
“you remembered more?!?” she said as she shot her head up.
“maybe.” I said. “well I saw more of the party, more people but I don’t understand. I saw Jake and Dace in my dream, i dont know I think I mixing up stuff from the party, and that night.”
“Taylor, they were there that night. it was Dace’s house. Didn’t you know that?” she asked and I shook my head. My phone started buzzing “ohhh, is that Dace?” she said winking at me.
“no!” I yelled back. It was. I answered the phone. “hey!”
“hello gorgeous” he said. Aleah was being immature and making kissy faces at me as I was talk to him.
“so how are you going to make last night up to me?” I asked.
“IT’S A SURPRISE!” he yelled through the phone at me and I smiled.
“okay, okay. Calm down.” I laughed.
“Meet me at the fountain in the middle of campus at 6 okay?” he said.
“Alright later!” I said and hung up the phone. I looked over at Aleah who was leaning across the table smiling and raising her eyebrows at me.
“sooooo, where are you to kids going?” she asked.
“I don’t know he didn’t say” I laughed.
“ohh, A man with mystery. Hot.” she said. “remember no sex on the first date”
“Thanks mom.” I said sarcastically. “Anything else?”
“of course honey, since you asked” she said “if you do have sex, use a condom. Don’t do the whole pull out method that shit never works. That’s how my sister and her boyfriend got pregnant”
“ew.” I said.
“what?” she asked.
“I really did not need the image of your sister having sex.” I told her.
“how do you think my niece was created? Sorry to break this to you but babies aren’t brought by storks.” She laughed.
“really?” I laughed “cause I was so sure that’s how that whole thing happened”
“okay, being serious. What are you wearing tonight?” she asked me.
“I don’t know yet.” I told her not making eye contact because I know she’d ask to dress me for the date.
“can I pick what you wear?” she said in her sweet little voice. Ugh.
“fine, but im wearing my clothes not yours.” I said.
“Ugh, fine.” She agreed. . We finished our coffee and walked back to my dorm. We got there and immediately she went and opened my closet, flipping through all my clothes. I heard her huff and puff.
“do we have to use your clothes?” she whined. Its not like my clothes were turtle necks and skirts to my ankle. I had booty shorts and crop tops too, I just didn’t like to wear them.
“yes.” I said. “I want him to like me, Not the slutty me in your clothes.”
“my clothes aren’t slutty” she spat at me and I rolled my eyes.
“you know what I mean.” I said back. She didn’t respond and went back to going through my clothes. She pulled out a floral dress I had. It had a pink brown and green floral pattern. She also pulled out a thin cardigan I had that was green.
“what about this together?” she asked.
“I don’t know” I said.
“come on put it on.” She said throwing them at me.
“fine” I said through my teeth I put on the dress with the cardigan over. They came down to about the same length. They were both really short but I loved the way they looked. I walked out of my bathroom to show Aleah.
“damn.” She said looking me up and down. “you look hot in that! Do you like it?” she asked.
“surprisingly yes” I smiled.
“now for shoes” she said walking back over to the closet and pulled out brown leather boots that were ankle high. “put these on” she said throwing them at me. I slipped them on and walked over to the mirror. I looked at myself and smiled. “youre welcome” she said.
“thanks” I laughed.
“I have to go” she said grabbing her stuff “but I want a full report of how everything goes. Have fun!” she said shutting the door. I went into my bathroom and straightened my hair and did my makeup.
