36 - First Date

*Maya's POV*

Hailey and Aaliyah left a few minutes ago so I could get ready for my date with Luke, which is in an hour.

Dahlia insisted she would choose my outfit. I open my closet. On my hangers, I mostly have flannels, plain tees and few jackets.

"Well then." Dahlia mumbles as she looks through my clothes.

"What?"

"You have like two dresses. That's all."

"So?"

She sighs, "There are occasions where you need to look a bit fancier than this!" She motions to me.

"But it's just Luke!"

"Maya! 'Just Luke?' This is your first date, and he's your boyfriend. Special occasion! You must look nice! Come on, I've got an idea..."

"Okay fine.

She takes me to her closet.

Her closet is mostly black jeans, graphic tees and flannels on one side, plus her collection of leather jackets. On the other side is dressy and dressy-casual clothes she wore to work when she had a summer job.

"What do I wear?"

"This..." She picks up a beige knot top, "and.. This," she grabs black infinity scarf, "and wear black leggings."

After I get dressed, I show Dahlia. "Lia, this is so girly."

"No, not really... Girly is pink and sparkly."

"But I don't dress like this! Why can't I just wear a flannel or something?"

"Maya! No! This is important, you can't treat it as if it's not. Surprise him, he'll love it."

"I guess you're right. Why do I do with my hair 'master of everything'?"

"A bun is fine," she smirks.

"You know something..." I say cautiously.

"I know nothing. Do your hair, silly. he'll be here soon."

I start turning around to do my hair, but I suddenly realize that I'm terrified. "Is it normal for me to be scared?"

"I assume so."

"Why am I scared?"

"Because this is your first date. You don't want to mess it up. But you'll be FINE! Don't worry."

"But what if I do mess up? What gonna happen then?"

"Nothing at all."

"Are you sure? Cause I feel like I'm going to mess everything up."

"He loves you, no matter how stupid you act," she laughs.

I give her a small smile, "Thanks."

"No problem."

India waddles in. "Dahlia she is so adorable. But don't let her touch me."

She picks India up, then wiggles her eyebrows. "Oh?"

"You're the one who's all obsessed of how I look. She's gonna shed all over me!"

"Okay fine," She laughs.

I quickly run into the washroom and put my hair into a bun. I grab my perfume and put it on. I fix up my makeup. I put some lip balm on and go to see Dahlia.

"I have no idea where this date is going to be. How am I supposed to know what shoes to wear?" I look over at Dahlia, "Let me guess. No black converse?"
