"Huh?" I said, still overthinking and a little nervous. My hands were sweating and I really did not know what to say. "Listen, I'm not forcing you. I know you are not in your best health and you need rest. Its okay we can make this plan some other time." He said. It sounded like he was going to hang up but I stopped him. "Umm...listen where do you want to meet up?" I asked. "Wait...you want to come? I mean uh-I'll pick you up...if thats okay-with-you?" He said, stumbling on the last few words. "Sure. By what time should I be ready?" I asked him. "Around 6 would be perfect. So,meet you tomorrow?" He said. I could hear a soft gulp. "Sure, bye." "Bye." And we hung up.
I face palmed so hard that my nose bone jerked. This conversation was the most awkward and embarrassing thing to have happened in my life. We have only just met and he is asking me out. I mean, I feel this is really fast and...straight forward, but sometimes I also feel a really weird connection with him, when we talk. It feels like I know him and I have seen him before. Maybe that's why on the second hand I dont really feel that hesitation saying yes to him.
Anyways. We will be meeting up tomorrow and I really need to get things sorted. I knew Mairah was the best person I can consult to right now. So I messaged her and about a second later came a reply and just after 10 minutes was a ring on the doorbell. This is why I love Mairah so much. She is just so much more interested in topics more than I am, even if that topic is related to me.
"That hot hunk just asked you out??!!" She squeeled, barely even stepping into my house. "Tell me word-by-word what he said."
"Nothing really, he just wants to meet up. But I have a strange feeling he really wants to tell me something." I said gazing down at the floor.
"And that 'something' might be his true, eternal love for you" said Mairah with a hint of sarcasm in her voice and then she let out a small giggle. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Okay girl, you need to get some sassy outfits on. Let's scan your wardrobe head-to-toe." Said Mairah, already heading towards my wardrobe. I can already predict the disapproval on her face as soon as she opens my wardrobe because I don't really have any 'sassy' outfits in there. And sure enough came the voice of Mairah,
"Are you kidding me? Why do you even have a closet if you keep these flabby clothes in here. These are for men and boys...not for a girl like you." As she said these words, she began throwing all of my clothes on the ground with her nose crinkled as if the clothes smelled like they havn't been washed for a couple of weeks. I might have boyish clothes, but they are comfortable. It's not like I keep getting asked out, so I should have a closet full of dresses and heels and jewels. That's too girlish.
"Girl!! We are going shopping! Tomorrow 9 am, I need you ready and I will be picking you up." Said Mairah and left.
16th September, 2014
My alarm started ringing. It was a Sunday and I would not compromise with my beauty sleep, so I kept the alarm on snooze and went back to sleep, when I realised, Mairah...she is going to take me for shopping! I have never been shopping before and I never would want to go shopping but it was exciting for me. Especially going with Mairah was just on the top because she literally has an idea of anything and everything related to fashion. Sometimes, I just wonder what would I do without her.
I got ready by putting on my favourite puma hoodie that Mr. Sanders had gifted me for my 15th birthday which surprisingly still fits me. I paired it with black denims and my teal converse. I tied up my hair into a high ponytail, stuffed my phone into my back pocket and done.
Soon enough, I heard a car honking which was surely Mairah. I swiftly went out and locked the door and climbed down the stairs with a blossom of happiness on my face. I just wish that this feeling never ends. After all that I have gone through, I think this is a gem of a day.
"Good morning babe! You look quite happy." Said Mairah as she started her car and sped through the road.
Soon enough we reached an enormous shopping mall imprinted with all the branded logos. It looked pretty expensive. "Are we going shopping here?" I asked Mairah, looking up in delight.
"Yes! Isn't this place delightful. I come here shopping almost every Friday. When you enter, you'll see what I'm talking about." Replied Mairah as she yanked me into the main entrance.
We started with shopping for some dresses. I looked around while Mairah picked up the dresses for me.
"This is going to look FABULOUS on you!" Said Mairah as she scanned through all the dresses in each rack.
"After this we pick out some accessories, some shoes and yeah, don't forget that we have to visit the Saloon after shopping." Said Mairah, walking over to the next rack with me following her.
I am still waiting to know what is going to happen to me next in the coming hours.
I was really excited to see him and also at the same time nervous, that he might say something he wasn't supposed to or...ugh it's just so confusing.
