The plan

Chapter 13- The Box

*Friday Morning*

I get to work early, and get coffee for Jace.
He told me that he still needs to talk to me about the party tomorrow.

I walk into the office and hand him his coffee.
"Thanks."
I sit at my desk, and wait for him to say something else,
"I'll be picking you up tomorrow at 8pm. I'm not sure what time the party will end though." He says.
"Okay."
"If people ask about us dating, I'll answer first and then you just agree to what I'm saying."
I nod, and he continues talking,
"My mom will be there, and, she's," he looks down for a while,
"she can be rude sometimes." He says while looking at me.
"Does she know about our plan?" I ask.
"No, she thinks we're dating," He says,
"Also, Claire will be there."
I sigh, "I expected that."

Towards the end of work, Jace starts packing up, while I finish my paper work.
"I'll be right back." I say as I walk out.
I go to the front desk, and give Mrs. Morgan, a lady that works here, the papers she needed.
I turn around and see Jace walking out of his office and going home.
We make eye contact, but he looks away.

I walk in the office, and see a huge box laying on top of my desk. I hurry over there, and read the note-
"Wear this tomorrow night." -Jace
I decide to wait and open it at my apartment.

As soon as I get home, I jump to the couch with the box in my hands.
I place it next to me, and open it.

There's a beautiful dress inside.
I pick up the dress, and admire it.
It's a nude pink shade, with lace trim, and a lace detail on the stomach area.
It's absolutely stunning.

Anna walks in, and sees me on the couch with the dress.
"Oh, he gave it to you at work?" She asks.
"Yeah, it wa- wait... how did you know he got this for me?" I ask her.
She sits down next to me, "Me, Chase and Ryan went to the cafe yesterday after you left. We saw Jace there, and introduced ourselves as your friends,"
I nod as she continues,

"he told us he wanted to get you a dress, but he didn't know your style or size. So I came to your apartment, got your dress size, and Ryan told him what styles you were into." She finishes and looks at me with a smile.

"Really?" I say as I look back to the dress.
"Yeah. You should've seen Ryan when he saw Jace; he practically fainted." Anna says, and we both start laughing.

Today is the day of the party, and I'm way too nervous.
What if I say something stupid?
What if I trip in the heels Ryan chose out for me?
What if they don't like me?

These thoughts make me even more nervous.
It's 6:30pm, Ryan, Anna and Chase should be here any minute.
Ryan's doing my makeup, Anna's doing my hair, and Chase says he'll be the judge of everything.
I hear the door open, and see Anna walk in, followed by Ryan and Chase.

"Time to work my magic." Ryan yells as he hauls in all of the makeup.
