Narrative
Miami, Florida

Ashia walked over to her room, trying to find something to wear for this date with Brian. There were clothes tossed on the floor and bed, and her room just looked a mess. And it honestly had nothing to do with having nothing to wear, because she had plenty of nice clothes to make an outfit of, she was just nervous.

Her brother knocked on her opened door and cackled at her pacing back and forth. "Really dis serious? Calm down, yuh, getting all work up ova a boy. A white one at that. Neva, did I tink I see they day." Huey said, folding his arms.

Ashia frowned at him but knew he was right. She needed to calm down because she knew she was gonna look good regardless. She shooed him out the door and told him to go get Rana and Sasha. He rolled his eyes and walked out the room down the hallway.

She finally laid out an outfit, so now all she had to do was her hair and makeup. Shia wasn't a heavy makeup girlie. She did just enough for her. Her sisters walked into her room, and Rana shook her head at the mess of Shia's room.

Sasha laughed at Tirana scolding Ashia about stressing herself out over a "fuck boy" and that she shouldn't have said yes anyway. Tirana did Shia's hair while Sasha cleaned up her room. Shia hates having things out of place, so her to mess up her room like this, she was probably really nervous.

Shia put on her outfit after her makeup and hair was done. She looked in the mirror and thought she looked real tea. A knock on the front door caused her heart rate to pick up. She told Rana to go get the door, Tirana rolled her eyes and walked out the room to go open the door.

Tirana opened the door and looked Brian up and down with a stoic expression. She walked out onto the front porch, closing the door behind her. Making Brian's smile drop as he looked at her nervously.

Ashia grabbed her bag and put on her shoes, spraying on some perfume. She loved light smelling perfumes. She thinks a lot of flora scents can be overbearing.

"SHIA COME ON!" Tirana yelled from downstairs.

Sasha gave her a hug and wished her good luck and to have fun. They walked out of her room as Shia walked downstairs, seeing Brian standing by the door holding her favorite flowers.

She looked at him confused as she took the flowers. "How you know I like these?" She asked him skeptically. He gave her a big smile and shrugged his shoulders. "Lucky guess." He said, looking her up and down.

"Mhm, Tej gave you some pointers, huh? They are pretty, though, thank you." She said, smiling sweetly up at him. Shia thought Brian looked good as hell. He was very tall compared to her. She wondered if anything else, she quickly took the flowers into the kitchen for some water. Scolding herself for thinking so nasty.

She hasn't had a boyfriend since high school. She's in her 20s now. Her body is starting to betray her. She took a deep breath and calmed down before smiling lowly, walking back to the front door.

He grabbed her hand, and she blushed. She was thankful it couldn't be seen. They walked outside to his car as he opened the door for her and made sure she was in good. He got in the car and drove out the driveway.
