"You are sooooo not wearing that!" Eva screamed as she walked in my room.

"Um, excuse me ma'am? Why not?" I asked looking down at my outfit. I had on some black jeans and a bandeau with a blazer on top. On my feet were stilettos and I had spent all morning getting my hair right. I had taken out the braids so I washed and blow dried my hair and parted it down the middle. Curlers were currently chillin' in my head to give the ends a bump, while I did my make up.

"You are going on a date with a grown ass man. You need to look sexy. Drop the blazer-bandeau combo and slip into a dress" she demanded.

"How about no" I chuckled and went back to doing my eyebrows.

Eva kissed her teeth and went digging through my closet. After a minute or two she came back out with a few dresses.

"Wear this one" she threw an olive green dress at me. She then grabbed a pair of cream strappy heels from my shoe rack and threw those at me as well. I had to move my head out of the way in fear of getting hit by one.

"I'll be back" she left the room. I rolled my eyes and started to change. Eva had more luck with first dates than me, so I was going to listen to her opinion.

I changed into the dress and started lotioning my legs. Eva came back with a leather jacket that matched the shoes. "I'm disappointed as hell in you. You didn't have your legs lotioned under those pants? Sis, you gotta do better. What if he wanted to slang the D but you were ashy" she shook her head as if she were ashamed of me.

"You're definitely the only one thinking about that" I laughed and started putting on my shoes. When I had everything on, I finished up my makeup, took out the curlers and threw on some earrings.

Eva sat on my bed watching me the whole time. When I was finally done she stood up and smiled. "Yes! You look so gorgeous" she grinned.

"What time is it?" I asked her.

"Six-fourty" she answered. I checked myself out in the mirror. I did look good. I had to commend her for her outfit choice. My phone buzzed and I picked it up to see what notification I had got.

From: Justice M.
I'll be there in like 5mins.

That was when the panic started to set in. I could feel my hands shaking as I responded. "Eva i'm nervous as hell" I confessed to her. She had been asking me all day if I was but I kept denying it.

"Breathe, breathe" Eva coached me. I took deep breaths and calmed myself.

"Why the fuck are you panicking? You are a bad bitch who is about to go snatch the hair from this guy's scalp and leave him hot a bothered with your sexy ass attire" she said hyping me up. I side eyed her and we both started laughing.

"You're such an idiot" I said to her. I heard knocking on the front door and I felt as if my brain was scattering.

"I'm an idiot but your mans just knocked on the door and you're standing here like a full blown dodo" Eva chuckled and left my room.

I made my way out into the living room and to door. I took one last deep breath before opening it. I came face to face with Justice who's eyes roamed my body before he meeting my own.

The way he was dressed reminded me of GQ and he looked so nice that I almost couldn't believe I was really going out with him.

"You look gorgeous. How are you?" he smiled as he pulled me into hug. His scent was amazing. I wanted to stay in the hug forever.
