Noleigh's POV

After a long hard day at work I finally arrive home. I am embraced by the smell of warm apples and cinnamon once I open the door into my house. Once I shut the door my chocolate lab ,Max comes crashing into my leg. Once he recovers he starts to lick my leg welcoming me home.

While watching tv I receive a text from my mother say:

' Don't forget about your date tonight with Blair at 8 o'clock p.m.

p.s. I think he's the one for you Noel.'

OH SHIT! I forgot all about the date tonight. You see my mom set my up with this big shot Politician who goes by the name Blair Jackson, but the thing is I HATE Politics! All those men do is argue like a bunch little kids all day long and get paid big bucks for it.

Anyway, my mom wants me to get back in the dating world after me and my ex boyfriend Mike decided to break up due to lack of feelings we had for each other after graduating college. We still keep in touch till this day but my mom was not too pleased when she found out that we weren't together anymore. In her opinion Mike was the perfect carmel colored future son-in-law... that was her words not mine.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was 7:20. I walked to my bedroom to get ready for this so called 'date'. I took a shower and picked out a nude dress along with a black belt to go with it and my black red bottoms. I didn't feel like straighten my hair so I figured why not just leave it down the way it is.

At 7:50 I heard a knock on my door and went to go get it. I was welcomed by a tall light skinned man with his hair low cut and hazel eyes. Now to any other woman he might be considered sexy but to me he was just another man that I had no feelings for what so ever.

" Why hello, I'm Blair and you must be Noleigh." he says while grabbing my hand and kissing it and this didn't phase me at all. I just wanted this date to be over with already.

" Why yes I believe that is my name." I say sweetly with a bit of sarcasm in my voice.

" HAHA you're a very funny woman Noleigh, and if you ask me I'd say we're on a really good start right now." You have no idea.

" Yeah... why won't you come in while I go grab my purse." I respond before wondering off to my room leaving Blair all by himself in my living room. Once I grab my purse I come back in the living room to see Max growling at Blair tugging on his pants leg.

" What in the hell is this mutt doing in your house darling?" he questions while pointing at Max looking at him as if he was the gum on the bottom of his shoe and this angered me.

" One, he has a name which is Max not mutt so I suggest you get it right. Two, I am NOT your darling so if you want this date to go any further I suggest you stay on my good side." By this time Max has ran back over to me wagging his chocolate tail on me with glee, I mean he is my baby so why would I let some random man downgrade him like he's nothing.

" Well we should be heading out to dinner right now so let's go." Hold up, did he just try and tell me what to do? I know he lost his damn mind but I need to get this date done and over with so I locked up my house and left.

He dropped me off back at home.... and let me just say that, that was the WORST date I have ever been on in my life! First off he told me that I could chose anyplace that I wanted and when I did he rejected the first three places then to make matters worse when we did decide on a restaurant and sat down ready to order he made a huge deal about his utensils, telling the manger that they need to keep their utensils cleaner. He then made us leave that restaurant leads us to some French place were I couldn't read the menu and he claimed that I was taking all day so he ordered me the nastiest thing on the menu.

So here we are in front of my house after an hour long ride of him talking about politics and I'm just siting there like 'who gives a fuck.' but here we are at my door as I count the seconds for his ass to leave.

" So this was a great date and I was just wondering when can I see you again?" I never wanted to roll my eyes so badly at a person in my life. I guess when I didn't answer he took that as a invitation to try and kiss me, and when he did his face came in contact with my hand as I muffed him dead in the face.

" Do me a favor.... don't call me. HAHA I mean what positive thing actually occurred tonight because I sure as hell didn't experience anything magnificent. You know what just leave me alone and go find someone who actually loves politics because I sure as hell don't." and with that I slam the door in his face.

After I changed clothes and took a soothing bath and was now siting on my couch with Max drinking wine. We were in the middle of watching a re run of Friends when my house started ringing. Thinking it was my mom I refused to answer it. When the voicemail came on I heard Angeline's voice:

' Hey Noel, I know you're probably still on your date tonight which I totally forgot about but I have some important news to tell you... I'M GETTING MARRIED!!! And you already know that I want you to be my Maid of Honor of course but I also want you here to help me plan the wedding so please call me back when you get this message because, I need you. Love ya byeeeeeeeee'

I sat there in shock! I couldn't believe that my best friend and her boyfriend of nine years are finally getting married. I am so happy for them because they really do deserve each other and oh my god I think I'm going to cry.

I called Angeline and we spent hours talking about the engagement and weddding. She said that she wants a fairy tale wedding, but doesn't every woman? We also planned my trip to Atlanta, where I would be leaving within the next two days now all I have to do is pack. She also mentions that Harper's best man who's name happens to be Blain would be helping me with both of the wedding parties, then she went on to say how much she wishes that me and Blain will fall in love after this wedding and get married ourselves. I had to stop her before she Gould go any farther so I told her that I was exhausted from my terrible date and that she should gets some beauty sleep for the night. She agrees and we say our goodbyes I prepare for bed as I lay down with Max and fall asleep within no time and all I could think about in the back of my head was...

' I can't believe my best friend is getting married.'
