Nicole's p.o.v.

I woke up early so I could head down to the University and help set up stuff for the art show tonight. There was a lot of people's art works that weren't hung up yet, including mine. I helped my classmates hang them up. After that we had to set up chairs and tables in the banquet room. That took a long time since it was a pretty big room. I started to get nervous because this was where we would have to give our speeches. Then I started laughing when I thought about what Joseph said about picturing people in their underwear. Some of my classmates started looking at me weird and wondered what I was laughing at. I stop laughing and continued setting up chairs.

It was about 1 on the afternoon when we finished setting everything up. I left the school and stopped at the cafe on the way home to get something to eat. I decided to call my mom and tell her about school and the art show. She said that everyone missed me back home and to come and visit. I wanted to so bad, but I was so busy with work too. I finished talking to her. Before I hung up she said that she loved me and was proud of me. I got kinda teary eyed when she said that. I said bye and left the cafe and headed back to the apartment to get ready for the art show.

I took a quick shower. I dryer my hair so I could curl it. I burned myself a couple of time in the process, but I finally finished. I was not looking forward to wearing high heels. I haven't worn them since my high school graduation. I just hoped that I wouldn't trip and fall. Especially in front of Joseph. That would totally suck. I got dressed and called Joseph to see if he was ready:

"Hello?"

"Hey, you ready?"

"Yeah, I'm about to head down right now."

"Okay see ya in a few."

"Alright bye."

I made sure I had my speech ready, since I forgot to take it to school this morning. I fixed my hair again to make sure it looked alright then I heard a knock at the door.

-Joseph's p.o.v.

Before I headed out the door to Nicole's place I put on a dark tie. I was so nervous for some reason that I had trouble remembering how to tie it. After a while I got it. I was wearing a black button up shirt, with dress pants and dress shoes. My so called 'concert clothes'.

My jaw literally dropped when Nicole answered the door. She looked so beautiful. She had on a black and white dress. I just stood there and smiled.

"Wow, you look beautiful."

She started to blush a little.

"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself."

"Haha thanks. You ready to go?"

"Yeah, do you mind if we go in my truck?"

"Uh no, that's fine."

"Alright, let's go."

When we were walking to the elevators Nicole kinda tripped, I guess because of the high heels she was wearing. She grabbed my arm so she didn't fall. I look down at her hand and smiled.

"Hey, are you checking out my muscles?"

"Haha no, I'm trying not to kill myself by walking in these shoes."

I laughed and pushed the button for the elevator.

"You could have worn different shoes."

"These are the only dress shoes I have."

"Oh, okay."

We headed to the Art Show. The place was packed with a bunch of people. Nicole seemed nervous about giving her speech. She kept drinking a lot of the apple cyder that they were handing out.
