Saturday morning rolled around and I had woken to a message from Lando. He said we would be around at 11 or so to get me.
Earlier in the week on the Monday, Lando had come over I had emerged from the my shower and gotten ready only to see Lando and Nadine conversing. I wouldn't go as far as saying they were now friends but it was a step in the right direction. I hand told Nadine about how Lando and I were supposed to go on a proper date today and she was trying her best to be supportive. It think it was harder for her to let Lando in than me.
"Nadine, I need your help!" I yelled from my room. She soon came to my aid. "I have no idea what to wear?"
"Has lando told you where you're going?" She asks, leaning against the wall by my door.
"Not even. But he hasn't said dress fancy so I was just thinking cool casual."
"Okay, so we're definitely wearing comfortable sneakers. Definitely go with the Sambas, they're still going to be in this year." She says moving to my closet. "It's so nice outside, I've already been for a run." She comments as she continues her search.
We pull out a couple different options as I look them over. "It's still spring. How about a blazer over this one and the adidas dress it down making it casual." I say trying to see the outfit pulled together.
"I love it. It cool, casual, and cute. It's good for any occasion you go to." She says, making me instantly feel more confident. We sit and talk as I get ready. I run a flat iron through my hair a few times and rub in some spf before applying some mascara and a couple dots of concealer. Deeming myself good, I put on my clothes and turn to my best friend.
"What do you think?" I ask, putting on some jewelry.
"I'd get down on one knee for you right now if you'd let me." She smiles as I let out a laugh. I glance at my phone and it's 10 to 11. Lando should be here anytime now.

"What are you doing today?" I ask Nadine, making sure everything I needed was packed up in my purse.
"I'm actually going to visit a high school friend. She's just had a baby, so I am gonna go visit. I'll stop by to see mum and dad. I'll let you know if I plan on staying the night." She says, giving me a small smile.
"Do say hi to your family for me?" I ask, tilting my head.
"Oh course, they've been asking of you. Maybe in a couple weeks we could go down to visit for the weekend? I could show you around my hometown." Nadine suggests.
"I would love that." I say sincerely as there is a knock on the door. "Oh god." I tense suddenly nervous.
"You two have been in contact everyday for the past 2 months, just be yourself babes." Nadine reminds me as I give her a hug.
"I love you." I remind her and she says it back telling me not to keep Lando waiting. I walk slowly up to the door, opening it to see Lando standing in all his glory. I quickly look him up and down to see him in a nice pair of navy casual trousers that hung loosely on his hips. He had paired it well with a gray Ralph Lauren knit jumper.
