Unexpected Love ✔️

Chapter 22

Brynnley:

It's the day- the day I go on a date with Carter! I am a little nervous even though I shouldn't be. I mean, we have hung out many times, and I thought nothing about it. But this is different. He says he likes me and asks me on a date. That has to mean something, right?

Jensen was up all night picking out an outfit for me, and when I say all night, I mean all night. We didn't get to bed till 1 am.

I am now finishing up my makeup and about to change into the outfit Jensen chose.

Jensen forced me to leave my comfort zone by making me wear a skirt. At first, I was totally against it, but she said I could wear black tights with it, which made me feel a little more comfortable.

She picked out a white sweater, a black leather skirt, black tights, and a pair of black booties she let me borrow.

I really like this outfit. It makes me feel so confident, and not to toot my own horn or anything, but I look hot.

Carter said he would pick me up at 6:30, and it's 6 now, so I decided to curl my hair in the meantime.

As I finish my hair, I hear a knock on my door. I unplugged my curling iron and headed towards the door.

I open the door, and my breath is taken away. I see Carter holding a bouquet of roses. I could cry. That is so nice of him to do. But that's not the only thing that took my breath away, and he looks so good right now. I mean, really good. He is wearing a white short-sleeved button-down with black dress pants and white shoes.

My god, he looks hot right now.

"Hey, wow, you look gorgeous," he said, speechless

I blushed. " You dont look too bad yourself," I said while opening the door more so that he could come in.

He comes in and hands me the roses

"I got these for you. I didn't know if you had a favorite, so I hope that these are okay."

I take them from his hand and smell them.

"These are beautiful. I love them," I say while trying to find something to put them in.

I guess I need to go out and buy a vase, but for now, I just place them on my desk.

"Are you ready to go?" He asks as I nod my head and head out the door

He holds my hand all the way to the car as he opens the door for me, and I get in.

Once he gets into the driver's seat, he reaches out of my hand again and begins to drive.

"Are you going to tell me where we are going, or are you keeping it a secret again?" I ask him

He smirks "You should already know I am not telling," He says, and I give an eye roll and look out the window

We got to the restaurant, and it was gorgeous. It is also one of the most expensive and popular restaurants in town. How did he get a reservation here? I heard it so hard to get in.

We find a spot, and he gets out of the car, comes over to my side, and opens the door for me like he always does.

Once, I got out of the car myself, and he got so upset that he couldn't open the door for me. So he told me that whenever I was with him, he must open the door for me, so I learned just to wait. But when he told me that, my heart fluttered. He really is such a gentleman.

He holds his hand out for me, and we walk hand in hand into the restaurant. We get inside and walk to the hostess

"Reservation for Jones," Carter says as the hostess eyes him up and down.
