i looked at myself in the mirror one last time before heading out the door in my tux that i bought an hour ago just for this this date.

tuxes aren't really my thing but to impress kayden, i guess i'm gonna have to make it my thing for tonight.

i got into my car and made my way over to kayden's house.

i pulled up to her house at exactly eight o'clock just like i told her.

i knocked on the door a few times before her mother and flora opened the door.

"she's just putting on her shoes but she'll be down in a few seconds" her mom informed me.

seconds after, i heard footsteps coming down the stairs and i looked up and maybe might have died.

a little too dramatic but that's just how stunning she looked once she came downstairs.

i got up from the couch to greet her.

"i, uh, i got you these. i hope you like them" i said nervously handing her the orchids since she told me these were her favorite flowers.

"sammy, they're beautiful. thank you" she said and gave me a hug then have the flowers to her mom.

"ready?" i asked her while taking her hands into mine.

"yeah. let's go" she said but just as we were about to walk out the door her mom stopped us.

"guys wait! pictures, we gotta take pictures!" we walked back over to her and she guided us over to the stairs and snapped a couple of pictures then finally let us leave.

we walked out and i led her over to her side and opened the door for then closed it once she got in.

i got into my side then we were off to our date.

"i'm here!" flora shouted from the front door as she walked in.

"so who's taking you and where's he taking you?" she asked sitting down next to me on a stool.

"sammy asked me out and i have no idea. he just said he would pick me up at eight" i explained to her while she ate my hot cheetos and listening to me talk as if i was telling an interesting story.

"okay well let's go get ready for your date" she said then ran upstairs in excitement. it was weird since she's more excited than me.

"kay, i'm home!" i heard my mom shout from downstairs.

"i'm in my room!" i shouted to her then started taking my stuff out for my shower.

"what's with showering so early?" she asked pointing to all my shower products that are in my hands.

"she's going on a date!!" flora yelled in excitement and not too long after, her and my mom let out squeals.

"you guys need some chill in your life" i said to both of them then went into my bathroom to get ready.

after my shower, i put on a t-shirt and an old pair of pe shorts that i didn't mind getting dirty.

i sat down at my vanity chair and let my mom and flora work their magic.

after about an hour and half our makeup and hair, i was finally done and then it was time for my outfit but since i already had it picked out, i didn't their help.

i pulled on my dress then looked into the mirror to see if i liked how i looked.

i was wearing a dress that was a light brown color and had only one strap on it and it went to down to my knees and hugged my curves in all the right ways.

i had flora match a pair of shoes with my dress and after a while, she found the perfect pair. they were just a pair of light brown strapped sandal heels that were open toed.

the outfit looked good but it seemed like it was missing something.

"oh, jewelry!" flora shouted as she was reading my mind.

my mom left for a quick second then came back with a ring and three gold bracelets.

for some reason, flora felt the need to put gold flash tattoos on me but i let her anyway.

the doorbell rang and that's when my nervousness started up.

flora and my mom ran downstairs to get the door while i gave myself a pep talk.

"don't do anything weird and you'll be fine, don't do anything weird and you'll be fine" i repeated that a couple more time for some motivation.

i then walked downstairs and saw sammy looking for handsome in his suit and tie.

i was honestly blown away by how good looking he looks in everything.

i finally got downstairs and made my way over to sammy.

he stood from the couch and handed me a bouquet of orchids.

"i, uh, i got these. i hope you like them" he said.

"sammy, they're beautiful. thank you" i said and gave him a hug then passed the the flowers to my mom.

"ready?" he asked then took my hands into his.

"yeah. let's go" i said but as we were walking out the door my mom called us back for pictures, i figured since she had a camera in her hand.

"guys wait! pictures, we gotta take pictures!" we walked back to her and waited for her to snap a couple of pictures.

we walked out and sammy led to my side to open the door for me.

i thanked him then he got in and we headed to wherever we were going.

"we're here" he said getting my attention.

"oh okay" i said then grabbed my purse from off the floor and just as i was about to open the door, sammy opened it for me.

i smiled as a way of saying thank you to him.

he walked over to me and we started walking up a hill.
