KIIARA
❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉
Being back at the base felt weird and nostalgic, but also like a fresh start. It's been two weeks since our first date, and I have been back and forth between the base and the apartment and cafe.
This time, I don't HAVE to stay here 24/7.
This time, I can go back whenever I want.
This time, I get the chance to truly be with him.

Shopping Center
"I love a good sale, but I also love affording whatever I want whenever I want", Nina sassily states while carrying some bags in her hand.
We were at the mall for a girls shopping trip, because tonight we had a double date.
That's right, double date.
Gabe and Nina were truly working on their relationship and it made me the happiest person to see them put their feelings into action.
Plus, I swear the both of them have been glowing a little extra lately.
...not gonna question how tho
With the cafe and apartment I was budgeting my money to needs and Jordan only. With a break, I am saving more and honestly could use some time for myself.
I feel like a new me, new era of my life has opened. With high school, the death of my parents, and this mafia, I am not the same.
And now I need to discover who this version of Kiiara truly is. I battled with my style and what I want to wear.
Run it back to high school? I wore too my black and grey here anyways. Or maybe something more sophisticated?
With the help of Nina and her fashion expertise, I got a pair of professional linen pants in cream, some clean simple cashmere sweaters, and a couple dressy pieces.
The boys weren't telling us the plan, except to look good ( which we always do so wrong instruction.)
Indecisive, I bought a silky navy dress with an open "V" back. The material felt smooth and rich on my skin and it complimented the hard labor training put on my body, my back looking toned.
To spice up with color, I also bought a mauve halter top with a black slit skirt.
This was going to be our official second date. Since I live in the apartment, I get to spend a little bit of time each day with him, getting to know the real Nile better.
But dates...feel different. It's like each step is a physical step into our relationship and dating.
Nina got a white dress with a lace bustier top that cascades to her ankles. I got to give it to her, woman has style.
We get a quick bite at Panera when I get a text.
Nile:
Having fun? I keep thinking about tonight
Kiiara:
me too. I'm excited to go on a date.....
Nile: me too
Kiiara: with Nina
We send the text in unison and I laugh at the delay in typing. He sends a graceful middle finger back and I laugh again, grateful we get this type of banter.
"How's the relationship status with you and Gabe?"
Nina sips her charged lemonade. "It's going good. Really good, actually."

Roman d'amour"Why is she so hard to let go of?" I close my eyes and shake my head, thousands of memories of us were whispering, telling me exactly why it was hard to let her go. "Because, Gabriel. Even though I never planned on meeting her I was basically dead...
