The next few days pass without any more strange incidents, and before I know it, it's Friday.
Nico comes home from his family vacation today and I can't wait to see him. We haven't talked much since he left, but I know that's because he's been busy with his family. But tonight he's all mine.
11:14am Nico: I should b bck in town by 5. Can't wait 2 c u baby!

11:26am Nico: Gtg baby c u 2nite
11:27am Tiana: Bye babe. See you later! (:
I spend most of the day painting with my new easel under my window and thinking about tonight. I won't see the guys until later for movie night, so I've got the whole day to paint before my date.
Around 3pm, Nico sends me a text saying he'll pick me up at 6 after he goes home to drop off his stuff and get ready. So, at 4 I clean up all my painting supplies and take a shower.
While I'm in the shower, I make sure to deep condition my hair and shave my legs so I can wear a dress. I take my time, massaging my scalp and easing the tension in my neck.
After I get out I use my fluffy lavender towel to dry off then put my silky purple robe on. I use the same marshmallow scented leave-in conditioner that I always do, as well as the cinnamon cashmere body lotion I've used since middle school. I brush through my hair but decide to let it dry naturally, only adding some light-hold hairspray and brushing it into my damp hair.
I don't usually wear makeup, but tonight I take a little extra time to put some on. I brush on a liquid foundation and pat a thin layer of setting powder over it. I add a little bit of eyebrow powder to even them out, as well as a thin line of eyeliner, some mascara, and just a touch of highlighter along my cheekbones and the tip of my nose.
By the time I finish and step up to my closet door, I only have 20 minutes until Nico picks me up and I still need to pick an outfit.
I flip through all the dresses and skirts in my closet, which isn't a lot, before coming to the newest one. I pull out the purple chiffon dress that Ryker and Asher picked out for me a few days ago and look at it. It's pretty, but I don't want to wear it tonight. It was basically a gift from the guys and I want to wait and wear it when we do item number 15 on the bucket list. I smile softly as I hang it back up and pick a red halter dress with a flared skirt instead.
