Recap:

The Dress: The top is short sleeve and black lace. The bottom is a bit fluffy and a beautiful cream color. They are separated by a black ribbon with a bow in the front. It's perfect. The length is about mid- thigh. With the dress comes a unique black necklace to match the lace top.

I step into the shower to wash off all the sweat from working out. This date is going to be perfect. I put a ton of good smelling lotion all over my body. Then, I put on my underclothing. I wrap a towel around myself and get started with my hair. What should I do with it? Naturally, my hair is dark brown and straight. I previously dyed light blonde to the tips. I have sleek side bangs. Finally, I decide to go half up half down. I curled the blonde tips of my hair. I spray a little hair spray over my roots and tips so there is no frizz and everything stays in place. I brush on some blush, put on rich, red lipstick. A little mascara, black eyeshadow, and black winged eyeliner is perfected. I rub on deodorant. Now, I slip into my gorgeous dress. And sprit on some Victoria Secret perfume. I fix my hair and attach my necklace around my neck. After, I hook on my famous hoop earrings. How could I forget? I don't have any fancy shoes that goes with my dress! Oh, no!

I crawl to the back of my mother's closet, trying not to get any dirt on my dress. That's when I come across some cute pair of high heels. Who knew my mom had at least a bit of fashion sense? Not me. Like any other teenage girl, I thought my mom had ugly old shoes and clothes. Guess I was partially wrong. I stumble upon these heels with an open toe. There is a light beige body and heel, black outline and strap, and a black bow near the tip that attaches the two peices. These will match my dress wonderfully!

I brush myself off and buckle the shoes. I wonder if Percy went through as much trouble as I did getting ready.

I look at the clock and realized that I only had fifteen minutes to get there. I grabbed my clutch and headed out the door. I probably would've gotten multiple speeding tickets if any cops were around. I walked into the restaurant trying to spot Percy, but he was no where to be found. A man with a tux gets my attention, "Excuse me ma'am. You need a reservation to eat here."

"Oh. I know. I'm on a date with my boyfrie-. I'm on a date." This is only our first date. He can not be my boyfriend just yet.

"Ma'am, do you have a reservation or not?" The man asked clearly completely out of patience.

"Ye- yeah."

"Last name?" Last name? What's Percy's last name?! Oh, no!

"Um... I... Um... I need a minute. I'll be right back." I reach for my phone inside my clutch. I dialed Percy's number.

"Hello?"

"Percy! What is your last name? Cuz I'm here at the restaurant and this guy's askin' for your last name for the reservation. And I don't know it, and I look like an idiot. And I-"

"No. I think you look beautiful." I turn in circles trying to find him.

"Thanks, but what is your last name and where are you?!"

"Turn around."

"Wh- wh- what?" He ended the call. Suddenly, a strong unidentified man took hold of my shoulders and spun me around on my heels to face him. There stood Percy staring down into my eyes.

"You look beautiful." He repeated from earlier. I blushed and said thank you. We walked up to the man I had spoken to about the reservation.

"Good evening, Percy. What a lovey lady you have tonight. Much prettier than all the oth-"
