"So are you ready to go on our date?" Mark asked. I looked at him like he is crazy.... does he not see my tracksuit?!?!  

"Umm i don't have anything to wear my dress is at home..." I looked at him then at my tracksuit. "Can you take me home then in about an hour come and pick me up? That way i'll have time to change and get ready" 

"How about you close you eyes and just give me a minute" He said and i watched him walk over to the couch and then turn around to see if i had closed my eyes "Angel close your eyes" He said and i closed my eyes. 

I heard him throw some things to the floor before he started to drag a big box across the hardwood floor. "Open your eyes when i say open OK." 

"OK" I said a little confused. 

"1....2....3......Open" There was like a minute pause in between each number then in between 3 and open i swear it was like an 5 minutes.... geeze over exaggerate much. Well away from blabbing about the numbers and open. 

When I opened my eyes to find in front of me a huge box wrapped in hot pink zebra print wrapping paper. 

"Happy birthday Angel!!" Mark said. 

I looked at him confused. Is he crazy. Today ain't March 6th.... wait is it. I thought tomorrow was March 6th. Maybe i'll just ask him. "Umm Mark is today March the 6th?" 

"Yeah...... Open your present."

Now i know what he was anticipating earlier. As i slowly unwrapped the box a lot of things went through my mind. Once i had the wrapping paper completely off i saw a shadowy figure thing with beat red eyes over by the door. It was just watching us. Smiling an evil grin showing its crooked sharp teeth. "M-m-m-m" i couldn't finish saying his name i was scared to death... All i could do was point at the thing. 

"What is it Angel?" Mark said turning his head making the figure dart out of the room. As if it didn't want Mark to see it. 

"There was a shadowy figure thingy and it was just sitting over there watching us. When you turned your head it darted out of the room." I pointed to where i saw it.

"You must of hit your head really hard. i didn't see anything" 

"How did you not see it?!?!? It big and huge and black and had big beat red eyes and like these humongous sharp crooked and jagged teeth. Also it was shadowy and scary looking!!!" I cried as i said this. Wow i have never cried before when i was scared. I guess this is the most scared i've ever been. 

"I probably didn't see it because i was looking at the gorgeous young lady that's in front of me." Mark said smiling. 

 "Stop lying i am not gorgeous" I said felling the heat rise to my cheeks again.

Dang i must look like an idiot blushing so much, since i have never blushed before, never and i mean never ever never ever. Lol well i must sound like a total freak ranting on about how i never blush. 

"Angel i'm not lying your the most gorgeous girl i have ever met" He put his hand on both sides of my face and kissed me. It felt like our lips were meant for each other. He pulled away after a few minutes and i sighed. I wanted to kiss him forever. He smiled and took a strand of my hair that was in front of my face and started playing with it.  "Are you gonna open your present yet or not?"

"I guess" I reached for the box then i turned to Mark, "do you have a knife I could use to cut the tape off with?" As soon as i said this Erick came into the room.

"Angel did you say you needed a knife?"

I nodded wondering how he knew that I needed one. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a black and grey pocket knife. He held it out to me, when I reached for it and had my hand wrapped around it he clicked a button on it and it opened in my hand, luckily the sharp part was on the other side. I swear if he would of cut me I would have probably punched him in the face.

I pulled the knife away and opened it up the rest of the way. I turned around to the present and cut the tape enough so that i would be able to open it. Once i got the tape cut i turned around to give Erick back his knife and say thanks but he was no where to be seen. Come to think of it i dint see Mark either.

"Mark where are you" I yelled noticing how pathetic i have sounded today. Even saying 'where are you' sounded way more pathetic then it normally would have..

"I'm in the kitchen" He paused before yelling, "Don't open your present till i get back in there."

"OK i said smiling" My mind started to wonder around thinking what could it be. The box was to big to contain clothes or jewelry, but it was to small to be a car. I twiddled my thumbs as i waited fore him, it seemed like an hour before he came back 

"OK open your present" He said showing both rows of teeth as he smiled knowing it would make me giggle. He brushed his hair away from his eyes before sitting down on the floor next to me. 

I reached for the box and opened the lids of it slowly. I had to get up on my knees so i could look in the box. Looking into the box i saw a medium sized gift bag that looked like it was the same print as the wrapping paper on the box.

I tried to reach into the box without bending over, but of course that didn't happen. As i bent over i almost fell in the box when i felt two hands grab my waist. I looked back and saw Mark "Thanks for catching me" I said quietly grabbing the bag. 

"No problem. I hope you like it" He said as i pulled the pink and lime green tissue paper out of the bag. When all the tissue paper was out i pulled outr a folded up article of gold clothing. Instantly i knew what it was. It was the dress i saw in the window of that expensive gift shop. Unfolding the article i squealed happily. Smiling from ear to ear.

I looked at Mark and saw he was smiling from ear. "Its perfect!! Thank you thank you thank you." I said getting up, kissing his head before i put the dress up to me and twirled around.

"Go try it on" He said smiling, I could tell he was trying his hardest not to chuckle but he did anyways. I smiled and ran to the bathroom and locked the door behind me.

I slipped off my tracksuit and slipped my new dress. I looked in the mirror and squealed in my head, not dareing to squeal out loud.

EEEEP!!! I love this dress. Its the perfect length, and it fits perfectly, I wonder if it does that thing where the bottom comes out when i twirl around in a circle... 

With that thought i twirlled around in a circle. Yay it does!!
