NEXT DAY

I grab my shorts and t shirt. I got time to get ready for the date. I open my closet and stand like a statue thinking what to wear. I have two dresses. One is blue which has a huge slit with thin strap and other which is black knee length plain dress which is strapless. 

'Black will look too over rated for a date', I say to my self. I pull out the blue dress and put it in front of my body and stand in front of the mirror.

'Yeah looks hot', I say to myself

'I will come to pick you up at 7', a text from Ryan

'Yeah, I will be ready', I text back

He sends me a smiling face and a thumbs up emoji.

I put my phone aside. I have only one day with him.

It's 12 noon. I open my laptop and go to you tube.
 
I play a music and start choreographing steps in my head. My hand is in the air and my head moving along with the beat. I can imagine my self doing those steps in my mind. I hear someone calling me out. 

'ISHA', I hear my name being called out and foot steps getting louder towards my room. The door opens with a force. It's Anaya

'I thought you died', gives a dramatical expression.

'Yeah your talking to my soul', I say

'Bitch, I called you hundred times. I was worried about aunty', yeah sarcasm. I roll my eyes.

'I was listening to music and you know trying to choreograph and few steps in my head for future performance', I say

'What did you do till now', she asks me

'Nothing much. By the way what are you doing here. Don't you have work', I laugh and she rolls her eyes

'I left my work for you. I thought you were dead so I came to your place directly', she says

We both laugh

'Well I have a date today', I say

'You have a what.... Date?', Anaya surprised

'Yep', I say

'With Ryan right?', she looks at me and smiles

'Yeah', I blush

'But am not gonna continue this long', I say

'Okay but what's the matter', she asks me

I explain her everything that happened with me on Friday

'That son of a bitch what does he think of himself. How dare he call you that. If I would have been in your place I would have kicked in his balls', Anaya's face is filled with furiousness 

'Yeah I know. But I didn't want to get into any fight. Plus am going today and I will see how the things will go', I sigh

'Yeah you better do. Anyways am leaving. But if something goes too far just be careful', she winks at me and I roll my eyes.

'Bye', I say and she raises her hands.

Evening Date

I chose the blue outfit. Let me find the matching earrings with it. I open my earring box having tons of earrings dumped in it. I put my hand in the box to find the right one.

'Fuck, ouch', I yell

I pricked my left hand middle finger. The blood didn't stop flowing even after I put the finger in the mouth. Damn it. I check for bandages in my drawer and luckily I found one.

'There you are', I look at the bandage. I wrap it around my finger gently trying not to hurt my self much. I put my index finger  and thumb in the box filled with earrings. Finally I find a dazzling white earring. It was a loop. I have a collection of loop earrings. I love them. It goes on every dress. I put the earring on my table and put the box in my cupboard. I check the time it's 5:45 pm.

I guess I should go and take a shower so that I look fresh. I grab my towel and rush into the washroom. I turn on the shower and the water falls on my bare body. I scrub my body gently avoiding any rashes. I just want to smell good. I apply the shower gel on my body and scrub it with a loofa. I wrap the towel around my body and step out of the bathroom.

I sit in front of the mirror and apply moisturizer on my body and face. I take the compact powder and dab it gently on my face. My face is always glowing and now after applying this it's glowing even more. I wipe the excess with a towel. I take the mascara and gently apply it on my eye lashes. My eyes wide open along with my mouth.

After I was done with my make up I dressed my self up. My dress gave a perfect fit to my body. My waist line was perfect and the long leg which was seen through the slit caught me. 

I brushed my hair and grabbed my purse and my phone. Once again I looked at myself in the mirror and checked the time. It was 6:50 pm. Oh god it took me so much time to get ready.

I walk down stairs and see my mom sitting on the couch.

'Where are you going, getting all this dressed up', huh? Is she kidding right now. I literally told her in the afternoon. I got a mini attack trying to re call if I had informed her about the date. Well I didn't mention it as date but as dinner.

'I.. I told you about the dinner I was going to, didn't I?', she gave me a confused look.

'Oh yeahh, I remember now. Sorry hon I forgot. Just to much work stress', She justifies her self

'Yeah it's ok', I know where that work stress is exactly coming from. I ball my fist.

It's 7 pm. Still no message from him.

I sit on the dinning chair so that my dress doesn't get crumbled.

It's 7:13 pm. Still no message. Did he just lay a trap on me. Did he fool me about the dinner. Was all this shit made up. The fear raises in my body. Suddenly the bell rings. The fear raising in my head reduces. With excitement I receive the door but my smile fades away as soon as I see a parcel.

'Ughh', I shut the door as I receive the parcel.

My phone beeps.

'Am outside', a text from Ryan

Finally

I wave at my mom and leave.
