Chapter 12 - Date Night

Alex's POV

I woke up the next morning at about 12 ish. What can I say, I love my sleep. I dragged myself out of bed and walked downstairs still half asleep. I go into the fridge and notice a note on the fridge door: 'Good morning/afternoon lazy ass. If you're wondering where I am I've gone out to get some bits and pieces and that thing you wanted me to get. I'll be back before your date to see how you look, aka to see if you have chickened out of wearing a dress in which case I would talk you into it and also to give you the present which I actually thought was awfully cute for you. Are you sure you came up with it? Anyway, I'll see you later kid, I love you  - Mom x'. I laugh to myself at the note. Typical Diane. I take the note off the fridge and put it in my pocket before taking the apple juice out of the fridge and pouring myself a glass.

I sip at the cool liquid whilst turning on the radio. What people don't know is I can be like your normal girl sometimes, not that I'd admit it. I started dancing and singing - oh so badly - around the kitchen while I make myself a little fruit salad and some pancakes. I don't normally make such a big breakfast but I have the weird feeling my bushy haired friend is- speak of the devil. I walk to the door and see it is in fact Nichols. "Good afternoon Vause, you cooking me lunch, you know the way to my heart." She says all in one breath. "Hello to you too Nichols" I reply sarcastically. "I had a feeling you were coming over so I took the liberty of making you food. Don't say I don't do anything for you" I tell her as I turn down the radio a little and serve up the pancakes, fruit salad and syrup.

"How you feeling about tonight? You all set?" Nichols asks whilst I'm clearing up the plates - by that I mean shoving them on the side. "I've not really thought about it... I just hope she doesn't bail on me. I guess I feel kinda... Nervous?  Wow... Never thought I'd say that. As for me being all set I think so. Diane has gone out to get a few things so yeah. What about you, you know what you're doing right? And thank you for the favour, I owe you one." I blab. "Of course I'm all set and it's no problem, family do shit for each other. I got your back you got mine and all that shit." We move into the front room and watch some TV for a couple hours. Before I know it, it's 6 o'clock, Nicky is leaving and I'm getting ready.

I walk up the stairs with a little bounce in my step and look at my phone to see I have one new message from Piper. I hesitantly open it, hoping it's not her bailing on me. Lucky for me, it isn't, 'Is there anything I need to bring? x' Damn she's cute... 'Nope, just your gorgeous self x' I reply before plugging my phone into my small speakers. The sound of Never shout never's Trouble blasts out my speakers as I walk into the bathroom.

I strip down and walk into the shower. I let the warm water run over my bare skin loving the way it feels. I assure every hair on my head is wet before applying my coconut shampoo. I massage the substance into my scalp and make sure every hair is covered in the now soapy shampoo before washing it off and doing the same with my coconut conditioner. I then use my pina colada scented body wash to clean every inch of my body once I had shaved. I stepped out the shower and wrapped a towel around my body, briefly drying my long, raven locks with blue ends.

As I walk back into my bedroom I see it's 6:45pm already. I blow dry my hair to speed up the drying process. I decided to actually put some effort into my hair for once rather than leaving it natural. I plug in my curling tongs and allow them to heat up before taking them and proceeding to curl the ends of my hair so they drop into very loose curls. I gotta admit, it actually looks pretty good. Pleased with the work on my hair I start on my make up.

As always, I apply my signature eyeliner first and then proceed to apply some mascara to my already dark, long eye lashes. I apply some red lip gloss to my lips not bothering with anything else as I don't believe in caking myself in make up. I take a quick glance at the clock to see half an hour has passed. I jump up and rummage through my underwear drawer. You can't just wear any underwear to a date, right? You don't know what could happen. I pull out a matching black lace set which I save for special occasions. I put the racy underwear on followed by the black dress with a little lace at the top that actually matches my underwear. Perfect. I step into the black wedge shoes I purchased with a trail of gold studs down the back which make me taller than my usual 5"10 self.

I unplug my phone from the speakers and see it's 7:29pm exactly. I grab my small black bag and put my phone and purse inside before walking down the stairs. I walk into the front room to see Diane watching TV. I give out a little cough to let her know I'm there. She jumps a little and turns around. As she looks at me she doesn't say a word but just stands up as a single tear rolls down her cheek. "Mom, what's wrong?" I ask worried. She shakes her head no whilst cupping my face in that loving mother way, "Nothing... You just... You look beautiful Alex." I look down as a little blush creeps onto my cheeks before enveloping Diane into a hug. "Thank you Mom" I whisper into her ear. We pull away as we hear the beep of a car horn outside. That must be Nichols. "Here, just what you asked for. It's beautiful... You're beautiful." She said with pride in her eyes. "I must get my looks from my Mum then" I commented with a smile.

We say our goodbye's as I walk out the door and onto the road to see the black limo parked outside that Nicky's parents own with her sat in the front. I climb into the passenger side and look over to Nicky. "Fuck Vause... You scrub up well." She says. Always the charmer. "You're not so bad yourself Nichols." I reply as I see she's wearing a smart woman's suit and she actually managed to tame the wild beast that is her hair. We leave for Piper's and in no time we're there. I look at the time to see I'm 5 minutes early. Better to be early than late I suppose. I climb out the car and walk up to the door knocking three times. The door slowly opens. Little do I know, I am not prepared for what lays behind it.
