IN REAL LIFE !
CAMILLE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE LARGE MIRROR THAT SPANNED HER BEDROOM WALL, adjusting her hair for what felt like the hundredth time. Her heart thudded in her chest, a strange mixture of excitement humming beneath her skin.
Now, standing in the soft glow of her apartment, she still couldn't believe she had agreed to this date.
Or was it a date? She wasn't even sure. Jude had casually asked her out for pizza, nothing fancy, nothing grand. But there was something about the ease between them, the playful teasing and comfortable silences, that made her feel both nervous and excited.
A soft chime from her phone pulled her out of her thoughts.
I'm here.
Camille grabbed her purse and took a quick glance in the mirror. She had dressed simply— baggy jeans, a cute white bodysuit with her golden hoops and worn out air forces.
Nothing over-the-top, but enough to look put together.
Taking a deep breath, she left her apartment and headed down where Jude waited by his car, leaning casually against the side. He was dressed in a clean understated way—jeans, a simple white t-shirt, and sneakers—but somehow, he made it look effortlessly cool. As she approached, he straightened up, that familiar grin spreading across his face.
"Hey," he said, his voice warm, carrying that subtle teasing note that made her smile. "Right on time."
"Hey yourself," Camille replied, her heart doing a little flip at how easy it felt to be around him. "I don't usually make a habit of being late."
