CHAPTER 25

DATE <3

MIA COLLINS

"Mom! Mom! Help me with this!" I yell from my room.

I just want my dress to get zipped and I can't reach my back to do that, can I?

"Gosh! Mom! I'm running out of time! Help me!" I yell but there's no response.

I hear a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I say while I paint my nails in front of the mirror.

"Gosh mom! Just help me zip this up and then I'm done. I'm getting tensed already!" I say but there's no response.

I look up at the mirror.

Oh my God!

James Edwards?

I close my eyes for a second to get out of this reverie.

Who am I kidding?

James Edwards in my room? Impossible.

I'm just dreaming.

But... there are fingers lingering on my back trying to zip up my dress.

What? Is this happening?

I shut my eyes tight as his fingers moves up my torso making me shiver. Again.

"I'm sorry I entered your room but your mom is on the phone in the balcony. I thought you needed help so I came in." his voice rings in my ears.

At once I know his lips are very close to my ears.

Man, his voice is so sexy.

I open my eyes and find his perfect figure behind me.

I was right. He's really close to me.

His hands are in his pockets and he shrugs.

I let out a smile.

"It's alright. Thank you."

"You're so beautiful." He says looking at my reflection in the mirror.

Oh my God, James. I don't want you to see me blush.

I move away from the mirror and fetch my clutch.

I turn to him and I don't know what just happened to me.

My jaw dropped?

He's wearing a perfectly fitted black coat and his white shirt unbuttoned at the collar. Of course his pants are hanging down his hips as always.

What is he?

A Greek God?

"I'm glad to take you on this dinner date. I found this rose in my garden and the first thing that came to my mind was you." He said as he kneeled down and lends me a red rose.

Oh my God!

A proposal?

The sweetest thing I've ever heard.

I blushed for a moment analyzing what he just said.

I took the rose from his hand and our fingers brushed for the slightest moment.

"Thank you." I whisper.

I'm on cloud nine.

He repositions himself and asks, "So, shall we go?"

"Sure." I say and flush scarlet.

He holds his hand out so I could hold them.

Wow! A first date!

We bid good bye to mom. Only I know how curious my mom is. She's so glad to see me with him.

God! Who's not going to accept when their daughter dates a Greek God?

We pull away in James' sleek black Audi.

Yes! Audi!

He puts on some music. It's a Beatles song.

Wow... it's so beautiful.

"So how was the other night at the party?" he asks.

Oh no! Why did he have to bring that in?

"Umm.. it was good." I say.

"The story spread like wild fire." He says smirking.

"Yeah.. I heard."

"That kiss was so desperate wasn't? I bet you thought me a freak." He says looking at me for an answer.

"No, I didn't." I chuckle.

Wow!

I'm loving this ride.

Happy moments right?
