035

around 1 year later

i sat at my desk as i started to apply my makeup. i put on my base before thinking about what look i should do, ending up with the thought of just a basic wing with a deep lip color.

the reasoning for me getting ready was that me and miles were going out for dinner. tonight was our 1 year anniversary, technically adding a week on since miles had some prowler things to do on our anniversary, but nevertheless promised to make it up to me, hence the dinner tonight.

it was currently around 8:30 and i was supposed to meet miles at the restaurant around nine. i started my eyeliner and finished one eye before receiving a text.

miles 💟
i'm excited to see you tonight ma

i felt a grin rise on my lips as i put down my phone flustered and continued to do my eye makeup before moving onto my lips.

once i was done with my makeup i fixed up my hair after i'd removed the headband holding my curled hair behind my face. i out in a small red clip on one side before i quickly put on my silk purple dress, pulling it down until it stopped at my mid thigh. i hooked my jewelry on and put on some basic heels before making my way towards my door.

"you look amazing mija." my mom sighed as she rose up from her spot on the couch next to my dad, who was also looking at me in awe, as she made her way towards me. she looked at my dress in complete awe before looking at me with even more love as she pulled me in for a soft hug.

"i can't believe how fast you grew" my dad joked as he also pulled me in for a hug. any other day, their affection and their slight sadness at me getting dressed up for a dinner would've been concerning, but i understood they weren't just thinking about the dinner as my 18th birthday was a couple days ago, making me technically an adult.

i chuckled as i hugged them both, " let's wait for the waterworks till i graduate" i joked, getting a slight chuckled from the, both as we pulled away. "just be back by morning, my love" my mom said as she fixed up my dress while i grabbed my sweater and keys off of the counter.

"alright mami i will, i promise" i mumbled as i kissed her cheek, following with kissing my dad on the cheek as well as i said goodbye and walked out of the front door.

i saw that miles had read my text about 3 minutes after i had sent it. while i waited for my uber to arrive i waited to see whether he had left yet, but instead he didn't reply, just read my text. i didn't think much of it as the car pulled up in front of my apartment and i got in before he drove off.

********

"where the hell is he?" i though to myself. the time was now 9:03 and miles still had yet to show up to the restaurant. i sighed and slumped down into the bench outside the restaurant while texting diana. i passed the time quicker texting her as her threats to miles for being late made my dull mood rise, forgetting about the annoyance i felt for the fact miles hadn't even texted me at all.

once diana had told me she had to go do something, i groaned as i leaned my head back and rested it in the brick wall behind me. i watched couple and couple walk into the restaurant hand in hand, only fueling my annoyance even more.
