I was nervous

I was nervous.

Again, Daniel's fault.

But unlike earlier today, I wasn't just nervous for what to wear. I was a bundle of nerves because of what was promised. Hell, about what had happened the whole day between us.

I didn't even mean to kiss him in the car. I was just pulled by him. Entranced. I couldn't stop myself even if I tried. But I do not regret what happened after.

Daniel finally showed me that what I felt wasn't just one-sided. That he wanted to explore this just as much as I did. That I, in some miraculous way, have the same effect on him as he does to me...which is still crazy, if you ask me. Just an ordinary girl managing to make a man like that so desperate?

How?

I groan in frustration. I had already showered and peeked my head through the door, making sure it was clear before practically sprinting to my room and shutting the door. Now I was in a towel and unsure what to do.

I'll take care of you.

The words were so sweet, yet also held a much darker promise. One that sent heat rolling through my body. There were...so many possibilities, though. I didn't even know what to expect, what to think.

All I knew was: Daniel Le Noir, incredibly sexy in anything he does, was making me dinner. And he was going to take care of me.

I almost giggled at the words. I've read those words countless of times in scenarios like these. But actually living them? No one prepared me for how nervous I was going to be.

I go through all my clothes, everything just seeming like it wasn't good enough. I mean, we were already home? What more could I dress up than I was earlier? I didn't know if I should act casual, wear some comfy, yet kinda sexy pajamas. Or if I should wear a cute skirt and a top.

Out of options, I quickly text the group chat with my friends—our new one, without Raina.

Me: What would one wear if a guy is making you dinner at his place?
Shelby: omg, r u on a date?!?
Iris: 🙄 clearly, shelb.
Shelby: OMGGGGGGGGGG

I groan.

Me: Any day now. I'm not already dying of nerves as it is
Shelby: okokok dinner at a guys house is like super casual, isn't it?? so prob like, a normal fit.
Shelby: OMG that cute ass white skirt i love on u with a pink top!!!
Iris: House dinners are intimate, imo. Sounds like he's getting ready to seal the deal.
Iris: Actually what the hell? Someone's about to seal a deal and we don't even know about him?!
Shelby: ADRIANNA LEE!!!!
Iris: *but* Shelby is right. That white skirt makes your legs look like they go for days. He'll go crazy for it.
Me: I promise I will fill you guys in soon. It's been...a little crazy.
Shelby: you bet ur ass u will!
Iris: Twilight marathon next weekend?
Me: Yes, please!! 🥺
Shelby: HELLZ YEA
Iris: Have fun, and be safe, Adrianna. We love you.
Shelby: ^^
Shelby: always n forever <3
Iris: PS—If you're looking to seal the deal tonight for real, then... wear something sexy underneath. Red, or black.
Shelby: ^^^^^^^^^^
Shelby: trust.
Me: LOL. Love you guys
