"What are you wearing on your date?" Asked Cas from my bed emphasizing on the word date.

"Haven't decided but it's someplace fancy so one of my nicer dresses." I replied opening my huge wardrobe letting Cas see my dresses.

"I'm so giddy just thinking of your date. Why aren't you?" Cas asked for the hundredth time.

"Cas for the umpteenth time it's not a romantic date. I mean me and Henry have been friends for so long it's more like a friend appreciation date you know?" I said nonchalantly.

"Friend appreciation date? Girl are you listening to yourself" said Cas shaking her head at me knowing I'm a hopeless case to argue with.

Yesterday Henry had asked me out for a date. He claimed he wanted to do something special with me. The two months he had spent stuck with amnesia had made him think a lot. He claimed that it had made him realize life was short and crazy things could happen any time hence he wanted to live every moment to the fullest with the people he loved close by.

I was cool with the date. I wanted to spend alone time with Henry as well. I had missed him so much the two months he was amnesia stuck.

By 5 30 I was ready for the date. I was wearing a magenta halter neck dress. It clung to my curves at the top then flowed slightly around the hips and ended at mid thigh. I completed the outfit with sliver high heels. Did my makeup with winged eyeliner, magenta shimmery eye shadow and a violet lipstick. Luckily for me I could pull of dark colored lipsticks really well. My hair was let down falling till mid back. I picked up a matching bag and sauntered downstairs to wait for Henry.

At 5 45 on the dot the bell rang. I opened the door and beamed. Henry looked handsome oh yes very very handsome. I had only seen him in a suit once before. Looks like I wasn't the only one who was staring. Henry's gaze was stuck on me taking in my appearance. Finally he gulped softly.

"You look beautiful Stacey." He said shooting me a dazzling smile.

"You're looking pretty slick yourself. Where are we going?" I asked. It must be someplace really fancy seeing Henry was in a suit.

"It's a surprise." He said.

I started to curl my lip and give him my best puppy dog look but before I could do it Henry looked away.

"Nah uh no way am I looking at your face and ruining the surprise." Henry said with his back to me.

I said bye to Casey who was staying at my place. Yes my bestfriend used my home as a second home for herself. She was winking and making annoying kissy faces whilst pointing at Henry's back

"Cas make sure you and Scott don't do anything naughty in my house." I said shutting her up because at the mention of Scott's name she blushed.

I smiled smugly as I closed the door and walked to Henry's Mercedes.

"So where are we going?" I asked again. I had asked the same question 20 times and Henry was pretty dead set on not telling me.

"Stacey you're gorgeous and all but right now you're being as annoying as donkey in Shrek." Said Henry letting out a huge sigh.

"So are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Shreeeekkkkk are we there yet? Are we there yet?" I said in a highly irritating voice.

Henry let out a loud groan looked at me like I was crazy and turned up the radio. I was laughing like a crazy woman. What can I say irritating people is my speciality and I take full pleasure in the task.
