I can't wait to see Jackson. I need him. I want to be with him. I woke up late so it seems like I slept forever. It's 2:32 in the afternoon, but it feels so much earlier.

I head to the kitchen to get a light meal.

"Good afternoon, did you sleep late?" Joe asks.

Surprise, he is in a good mood. I just ignore him and prepare myself a chicken salad.

"Jackson called, he said to call him when you wake up." Joe says. I stop cutting the tomato and get the home phone.

"What else did he say?" I ask as I am waiting for an answer.

"Nothing else."

He finally picks up, "Hey! So freaking sorry, was taking a shower. What up?"

"Oh nothing, getting something to eat. You needed me?"

I ignore the fact that Joe can hear some of the conversation. "Heh, well just wanted to tell you that to wear something simple but formal. I'm taking you to a fancy restaurant!" Jackson exclaims.

I chuckle, "okay, what time are you going to pick me up?" he thinks for a while and tells me at 6:30. I say okay and he hangs up before telling me he loves me.

I go back to the kitchen and prepare my salad. Joe is still there, reading something on the laptop. I can feel him looking at me but I just shake his eyes off. I finally finish and sit and eat.

"So, you are going out today?" Joe asks. He puts down the laptop screen to see me better. I just nod and continue eating.

"Where ever you are going you better not come late. You got that?" he asks.

I put down my fork and look at him serious. "I got it, you don't have to tell me like that. I know the house rules."

"Well, I'm just reminding you so you can tell Jackson."

"Okay, I tell him. Anything else?"

He says no and gets back to his reading. I roll my eyes in disbelieve, seriously he has an attitude. I finish and check the time 3:16. gosh make time go faster man! I go back to my room and look for something to wear. I decide to wear the black dress that Joe gave me a while back.

"Wake up! Widow," A voice interrupts my rest. Then I feel ticklish on my back, "Wake up."

I start to giggle and open my eyes. I turn around and see Joe chuckling. "Stop! I am awake!"

He stops, "you stupid boyfriend is here. He is waiting in the living room." Joe says.

What?! What time is it?

I sit, "You serious? What time is it?"

"6:34, and yeah. You want me to kick him out?" Joe asks.

"No! Gosh, um, tell him I'll be there. Please if you do care about me, behave." I say.

Joe looks at me, "Just be careful. I'm still mad at you though."

"Okay, well leave. I gotta get ready."

Joe leaves and I get ready. I quickly put on the dress and red heels. I comb my hair and put a black headband. I almost forgot to put some mascara and lip gloss.

I look at myself in the mirror, "Not bad for only 5 minutes." I whisper. I get my phone and run to the living room.

"Hey!" I say.

I see Joe and Jackson siting on separate couches watching a soccer game.

Jackson sees me and gets up. He look so good! He has a simple black tuxedo, not that fitted but still looks good. He has his hair messy and no tie.
