falling ☼ Anthony Ramos // [#wattys2017]

six

Alla was excited. She hasn't been on a date for quite some time. They exchanged numbers and the time that they were going to meet.

Anthony was going to pick her up at 10. She had no clue what they were going to do since it was so sudden. She rolled her eyes as she accepted without knowing any details.

She decided to get ready for a somewhat fancy date because she figured that all dates were sort of fancy.

She picked her clothes out of her closet and got out her laptop.

"I have a good 4 hours until Anthony comes."

She began to watch Netflix on her bed, and slowly she begins to drift off to sleep.

She is awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. She checks it, an unknown number appeared. She didn't answer.

She checked the time, however, and it was 9:41. She got out of bed and took a 7-minute shower. She did not wash her hair so she decided to put it in a bun. She got changed and began doing her makeup.

She decided to go with a simple look, one of the reasons being she only had less than 10 minutes. She slipped on her shoes and grabbed her purse and her phone. She checked her phone '9:58'.

She decided to wait outside. She locks her door and walks down a few flights of stairs, and out the main entrance, the weather was good for a May night.

She saw Anthony walking back and forth on the sidewalk. She called out his name. He didn't answer. She then began walking towards him. He turns around.

"Alla! Um, how long have you been standing there."

"Not that long, how long have you been here?" "Not that long, um do you want to go now."

"Yeah of course. You look nice." "Thanks, you look stunning." "Thanks." She flashes him a smile and he returns it.
