Desperate Hearts. (A Steven Tyler fanfiction)

Chapter 5: Time

The next morning, I pulled myself out of bed, and walked into the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror.

Steven Tyler wants to hang out with me tonight. Holy fuck.
I looked at my phone. I have five hours til he was coming here.
I think I could shop a little bit. Every girl needs a new outfit.

I walked into my bedroom, looking around.
I grabbed a pair of purple sweatpants and a white v neck Tshirt, and slipped them on.
I threw my hair up in a messy bun, grabbed my gray slipper boots and purse.

I walked the couple blocks to my favorite vintage store, Marietta's.
The bell above the door jingled as I entered the cozy atmosphere.

"Hey Marley!" Sarah, the cashier who is always here when I come, greeted me.

She walked up to me. "What are you looking for today??!"
I smiled, "I don't really know yet, something casual but chic, you know??"
She smirked. "I have just the things. Say, why are you looking for something new??"
"I have a date tonight.." I said, blushing at the thought.

Sarah smiled, motioning me to follow her towards the back of the store.
"These things just came in today. I haven't even set them out yet. You're welcome to try them on if you want."

I smiled wide. "Of course, lets go."
I clutched the bundle of clothes and walked to the lone dressing room.
I walked in and locked the door.
I looked at all the clothes for my ideal outfit.
But then something caught my eye.
I smiled to myself and slipped it on.
I assessed my outfit in the mirror of the dressing room.
I had chosen a beige, almost pale pink dress, with a lace texture, and it fell right above my knees. It zipped up in the back. The top was fitted, showing off my curves, and it was perfect. I had a vision in my mind, and this dress fit it.
I unlocked the door, slipping out to show Sarah.
Her jaw dropped. "It's perfect."
I smiled in response. I knew it.

I got home about three hours later, after finishing up shopping. I purchased the dress, along with numerous other things, like two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, two shirts, and a similar dress to the beige one, but in a light gray.
I went and hung up all my new clothes, except for the beige dress, in my closet.
I had two hours to get ready, and get my apartment ready for a rockstar presence.
I showered, and put on the dress.
I curled my hair into waves, bumped up the volume with a thin jeweled headband, lined my brown eyes into a cateye, and curled my lashes dramatically.
I coated my lips in a pale pink lipstick to match the dress.
I was ready. I checked the clock. I had 15 minutes.
But I needed to get the snacks together.
I opened the cabinet, searching with my eyes til they landed on what I was looking for.
I grabbed the bottle of jack Daniels, some cola for me to mix mine with, some chips, guac and salsa, and I knew I had ice cream in the freezer for dessert. I would order the pizza as soon as Steven got here.

I set everything down, and did some last minute touches.

The doorbell rang. My heart started pounding. I took a deep breath.
He was here.
