"I don't want to mom!" I yelled.

"Honey. I know but she is waiting for you downstairs." She replied sternly.

"Mom just tell her I will call her later."


"I'M COMING UP WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT BECAUSE I'VE GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU BITCH." Natalie yelled "Oh shi- I am sorry Mrs.Brookes. I forgot you were up here."


"Yeah , yeah don't worry about it sweet heart." My mom leaned over and kissed Natalie on the cheek.


"What? What do you want?" I asked.


"Okay. One, stop with the attitude and get in the shower because you smell. Two, I got you a date tonight with Mr. Derek Carram."


"Natalie Mackenzie. Why in the world would you do that?" I turned over getting a wiff of my armpits. "Okay I'm getting in the shower. What time is that date?"


"You have an hour."

"Well shit."

I had an hour. An hour to get ready and get on the road to meet Derek. He is actually a gorgeous guy, but like I said before. Once he starts talking he does.not.stop.

Once I got out of the shower I had to figure out what I was going to put on.

"Already got it all picked out." Nat said flicking through her phone.

There was a brand new "Victoria Secret" bag on my bed with a pair of sandals right next to it.


"Natalie." I looked up at her.

"What? I want this to work for you and it is the least I could do." She smiled , "Hurry you still have to do your makeup and hair."


I rushed to my makeup mirror and did a quick contour and smokey eye.

I blow dryed my hair and pulled it up into a cute messy bun.

Slipping the red spaghetti strapped skater dress on Margo came running up the stairs.

"YOU'RE MOM SAID YOU WERE UP HERE." She was panting, "I GOT THIS FOR YOU."

She handed me a little box from "Tiffany & Co."

I pulled out what was inside. A little pendant necklace with a cursive D.


"You guys are too sweet." I couldn't believe it. It felt too good to be true.


"He's here baby!" My mom yelled from downstairs.


The girls followed me to the beginning of the staircase and let me walk down on my own.


"Wow." He smiled, "Long time no see."

HOLY MOLY WAS HE FINE. He extended his hand to mine.

"Hey Derek. It's been a while." I smiled and looked back up at the girls who were pretending to faint.


He giggled.

"But most definitely worth the wait. Mr. & Mrs. Brookes I will have her back before 11:30 if that is okay?"
