I braided my hair into milkmaid braids and put on my favourite sundress and looked at myself in the mirror. I was so nervous for this date with Ashton. He gave me so many butterflies and honestly it scared me so much. Especially after the way my last relationship ended... I almost feel like I'm not quite ready for another one. But, Ashton was nothing like Chase, at all. During my relationship with Chase, I really didn't realize how much of an asshole he was to my friends and I. He didn't like any of my friends, he didn't talk to my brother at all and he stood me up a few times. I forgave him because of his excuses, but looking back on it now, it was obvious that he had been cheating for a huge part of our relationship. Ashton has been so nice from the very first second we met and he actually asked me out on a date... not over text. Like Chase.
But maybe I am ready for a new relationship...to forget Chase, to have a best friend, someone to make happy. Ashton sure is a contender for all of those things.
I finished my mascara and looked myself over in the mirror. I hoped that it wasn't too much for a "casual" date. I just wanted to look good for him. (that song reference tho)
I left my room and it was about 6:50, so Ashton was going to be here in 10 minutes. I was hoping to sneak past my family, but they were a little bit curious as to why I barely ate any dinner and then rushed up stairs and locked myself in the bathroom for a shower and then stayed in my room afterwards. They'll definitely want to know whats going on since I am all done up for this date. I'm thinking that I should just be honest with them.
"Hey Leti, what are you doing? You look...nice," (fucking savage) My dad snaps me out of my thoughts. He puts down the dish towel and turns away from the sink to face me.
"Oh hey dad...I'm just...meeting a friend." I say to him, trying to avoid the subject as much as possible. Okay so I crack under pressure. Being honest about going on a DATE with a BOY to your father is kind of hard.
"Oh.. I didn't know you had friends." (IM CRYING )
I gave my dad an unimpressed look because he thought he was being funny. We both laughed at it though.
"Okay, I'm going out with a guy who asked me on a date earlier today." I told my dad, speeding up my sentences so that it all came out in one breath.
"Oh, okay. Have fun." He said calmly and returned to washing the dishes. I was kind of surprised actually because normally he would give me some speech about how boys have cooties and that if he tries to touch me I can punch him in the dick or whatever. But he gave me...nothing. it was strange but I got over it as soon as I heard a knock on the front door.
I took a deep breath to try and rid my stomach of the butterflies that I had. It didn't work but I opened the door anyway. There was Ashton, admiring the flowerbeds on either side of the front steps. He quickly turned his head to face me with a huge smile on his face. In my head, I was screeching because he is so cute but on the outside I was remaining cool and collected.
"Hey Leti, you look so great wow," He looked me up and down and then pulled me in for a hug. My heart was exploding.
He smelt so good I couldn't even describe it. I felt his hands on my back and it gave me goosebumps all over my body.
"Thank you so much, you look great too." I replied. I could feel my dad staring me down from the kitchen sink but he stayed silent. Ashton gave me a huge smile and I could see his cheeks flush red.
"Shall we go?" he asked.
"We shall." I said, and grabbed his hand as we walked out.
