"You keep running from me
I'm scared of love
Make it easy for me
I wanna be, it's difficult for me
I'm scared of love, yeah
And you're hard to trust
why you running from me?
I'm backing up
Make it easy for me
Don't wanna be scared to love"

I was at home alone. My mother was still away on a business trip, and Serenity was "at a friend's house" I didn't believe that, but it's her business, and I have no right to intrude.

Xabriel told me to dress formally, so I wore an off the shoulder red dress with nude stiletto heels. I kept it simple with makeup. I did a brown smoky-eye and added some gold eyeshadow for a little bit of shimmer, I tied the look together with matte red lipstick. I lined my lips with a deep red liner first. I want to look attractive, not like a clown.

I watched my reflection in the mirror as I carefully removed the clips from my hair.

Pin curls are my favorite, they are simple, and the finished look is stunning.

My bundles were about waist length. I love wearing weave, even though my real hair is long and healthy.

The sound of the doorbell rang through the house.

Is it really six o'clock already? I can't believe time passed by that quick.

I straightened out my dress with my freshly manicured hands and sighed.

I hope I look okay.

I made my way downstairs and took a deep breath before answering the door

Oh, my!

I couldn't even get my words out. I wanted to speak, but the words just got caught in my throat.

Being this sexy should be a crime.

Xabriel wore a simple white button-up shirt with grey slacks and brown dress shoes.
