If I Fall |NEW|

3. First Date

        I searched my closet high and low for something to wear but nothing seemed to suffice. All of my clothes looked boring; long skirts, floral dresses and a bunch of other things that didn't fit the occasion.

I grew annoyed by the inconvenience, I had only an hour before he would pull up. But by the look of things I wasn't going anywhere. I contemplated texting him and canceling, but really wanted to go!

Picking up my phone I clicked on Sasha's contact.

After the fourth ring, she answered. "Hey girl hey!"

I pouted, "I need your help." My eyes were now filled with tears. Everything that could go wrong was going wrong. "I can't find anything to wear to this date. All my clothes scream prude!" I complained.

"Okay just calm down and show me what you working with."

I showed her some of my clothes that had potential and she helped me put something together. "Now put that on and tie your shirt in the back to give the illusion of a crop top." She instructed.

"You're a lifesaver. Thank you so much." I was feeling better now.

"I know. Now get dressed and have fun."

We said our goodbyes and I started getting dressed.

I gave myself a once-over in the mirror. I smiled satisfied with what she put together. Who knew a long denim skirt and an illusion crop would look so good? When I finished admiring myself in the mirror I went to my closet and grabbed my wedges and put them on.

"And done." I grabbed my purse and quickly applied some lip gloss.

Ding! dong!

The doorbell rang letting me know it was him, ugh! I didn't want anyone to open the door, especially my dad. I hurried out of my room and halfway down the stairs I heard my mom's voice coming from the foyer, "Hi, how can I help you?" She asked confused.

"I got it, he's here for me." I sped and walked behind her interrupting before he could speak. She looked between him and me— I knew that look. She obviously didn't approve.

"Mama this is Amir, Amir this is my mama." I introduced the two. He smiled showing his grill, making me shriek inside. I would hear about this later.

I watched as the two shook hands, "Alright, bye mama I love you, see you later." I kissed her cheek then stepped on the other side of the threshold with Amir who smelled amazing.

"I love you too, be safe." She then closed the door.

I felt like I could finally breathe, "You smell good." I complimented him. "I was just about to say the same thing about you." He said as we stepped off the porch and headed towards the car.

The drive wasn't long, we arrived in about fifteen minutes. We pulled up to the valet podium and I waited for him to come open the door for me. "Thanks." I stepped out of the car and adjusted my skirt. "Anything for you baby." He winked.

See I was inexperienced but I wasn't dumb, guys were always super nice in the beginning so I wasn't easily impressed by charming acts.

He tipped the valet and we made our way inside, "Wow, I feel underdressed now." I said. "Nah you look sexy as hell." He complimented as we neared the podium, "Hi, do you have a reservation?" The hostess asked.

"Amir P." He stated simply.

She smiled after confirming on the computer. "Follow me." She grabbed two menus and led the way to the table.

"Your waiter will be with you shortly, enjoy." She then left us.

"This is nice." I sat. He shrugged, "Only the best for the best." He said.
