I Never Planned On You

Day 6/17- Dinner

' Just wear something fancy...we goin somewhere nicee... ' Ben texted.

' Ooooh, where we goin? '

' It's a surprise '

' Daammmnnnn ' I reply.

I threw my phone on the bed and woke Melissa up.

"Melissa!" I said, shaking her arm.

"What do you want? It's too early to be awake." She said, putting a pillow over her face.

"It's 4pm!"

"Yeah, but we don't have a show today, so why do I have to wake up?" Mel said, throwing another pillow at me.

"I know, but I don't know what to wear on my date!" I said and Melissa perked up.

"I forgot your date was today!" She said, standing up to help me.

"How did you forget? You've been bugging me about it ever since I told you!" I laughed.

"Whatever. What kind of thing are you going to wear?"

"I'm not sure...Ben said to dress fancy, but I don't know what to wear!" I complained.

"We have to go shopping!" Mel insisted, rushing to the bathroom to brush her teeth and get dressed. When she came out, we left for the mall.

We walked into a dress store, and I tried a few on before putting on a white dress with blue flowers.

I came out of the dressing room and Mel said, "Oh. My. God. You look amazing!"

"Really? Are you sure it's not too fancy?" I asked, doing a little twirl.

"In my opinion, there is no such thing as too fancy. Also, Ben will die when he sees you in this!" She gushed. "You have to buy it!"

"Okay, I will." I smiled going back into the dressing room.

We walked over to the cash register and pay before heading to a shoe store. I ended up buying some blue strappy heels.

"Okay, Ben is picking you up at 7, so now we have 2 hours to get back to the hotel, and get you ready!" Melissa said. The mall isn't too far away from the hotel, so we decided to walk back.

"I'm so nervous." I admit.

"Why? You and Ben really like each other. There's nothing to worry about!" She tries to assure me.

"I know, but I haven't been on a date since my old, cheating boyfriend." I tell her.

"Well, that guy was a douche, and Ben isn't, so this date will be great. I can feel it in my bones."

Soon enough we had made it to the hotel, with about an hour and a half to spare. I got my curling iron, loosely curled my hair, put a little bit of makeup on, and got dressed. It's only 6:15, so I still have a while before Ben picks me up.

"Are you still nervous?" Mel asks, as I sit down on my bed.

"I am, but I'm also really excited." I said, blushing.

"Aw, you're just too cute!" She reached over to pinch my cheeks and I pushed her hands away.

"Shut up." I said.

Melissa and I watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians until 7. Then, 7:01 comes around and Ben isn't here yet. Oh no, what if he doesn't like me anymore? What if he didn't want to see me? My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"One second!" I yell, slipping my shoes on. Before I can get to the door, Melissa opens it. Ben is standing there in khakis with a red and white checkered button up shirt. My heart starts beating a little faster when I see him in the reflection of the mirror, but I don't think he can see me
